European authorities are preventing some pro-Palestinian Authority Arab sympathizers from participating in the “fly-in” to Israel, at Jerusalem's request.
Eight activists were prevented from boarding a Malev flight from Paris to Budapest, where they intended to pick up a connecting flight to Israel. Three other activists were already arrested at Ben Gurion International Airport on Wednesday.
Earlier in the day two Dutch journalists were prevented from boarding an El Al flight from Amsterdam, although they claimed that they only wanted to cover the fly-in.

fluff, flake, flimsy, fony,
foolish, farcical, and fatal.
But shouldn’t foreigners have a right to warfully invade and assemble to pressure someone else’s government to commit suicide and take its people down along with it?
That’s a right that Goths, Visigoths and Monguls have fought and died to preserve.
