Now why the hell do they consider bringing food to terrorists "humanitarian aid"?
Wow. I'm kind of amazed that the socialists in California did such a thing. It's a nice change.

Their cause was clear on their signs and fliers, which read: "Free American peace activists in Israel," "Feeding people is not a crime" and "Help us free Nathan Musselman!" Musselman, a 24-year-old Roanoke man, has been detained in Israeli prisons for three weeks. A member of Roanoke's Oak Grove Church of the Brethren, he has worked with an international coalition of peace activists in the West Bank for about a year. On May 2, Musselman and 12 others staged a demonstration outside the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. The protest was meant to serve as a diversion to allow another group to enter the church and deliver food to the Palestinians imprisoned inside. All 13 were detained by Israeli forces. Nine were deported to their home countries, but Musselman, who was to complete his studies in Arabic at a West Bank university this summer, refused to be deported. Three others remained with him.
I mentioned that enforcing the law and giving these people some hard time for their acts would stop it quickly. He agreed, and said the liberal courts would never do it. This coming out of the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia: be still my heart>
