As Israel braces for Operation Welcome to Palestine, the PA (Palestinian Authority) mayor of occupied Beit Lechem, Victor Batarseh, called upon Israel to permit the expected 1,500-to-2,000 activists into the country. The mayor explained that last summer Israel evicted supporters as well, and this year, he is calling on Israeli authorities to permit the “ambassadors” to make their way to Beit Lechem.
The mayor on Tuesday, 18 Nissan 5772 told activists “you are all friends and you will help build the walls of hope and not walls that separate”.
Public Security Minister Yitzchak Aharonovich has made it clear, that any arriving passengers suspected of involvement in the operation will be detained in Ben-Gurion International Airport and sent back to their point of origin. Most of the activists, arriving from Europe, Australia, New Zealand and other countries are due to arrive on Sunday, April 15th.

“ISRAEL CALLS ON PALESTINEANS TO SELF DESTRUCT”
Truck them to Syria. We trust Syria ‘knows’ full well how to deal with undesirable elements.
Evidently it’s not enough that every once in a while a Jew is stabbed or shot by I wonder who? It’s also not enough that rockets are shot into Israel constantly by I wonder who?
No, it’s not enough. Now, they need people who don’t even live in Israel to stir up more anger and hatred.
