The Peleg faction continues threats of protest, this time Ben-Gurion International Airport towards interrupting pre-Pesach airport traffic.
The notice says in response to authorities stepping up activities, they will protest so they are heard around the world including in the area of the airport where tourists arriving and leaving Israel will see it and report it. They will carry signs in English and other languages too.
Due to the heavy airport traffic expected ahead of Pesach when the protest will take place, persons are advised to check regarding flight schedules to determine if there are changes.
It concludes that if the advanced notification will result in a hostile response that will prevent protesting, future events will be held without prior notification, which means the public and police will not be alerted ahead of events.

Do they really think that this will cause goyim and other tourists to favor their side? I mean, as frum yidden, many of us used to be on their side, certainly understanding the problem with IDF service. But this doesn’t make us too sympathetic now, does it.
The Police and Border Control troops shpould take their gloves off and teach these children a lesson they will not forget.
avreimi–they are not children, they are commom thugs
avreimi; spoken like a true tzioni, kochi ve’otzem yudi..!
The only chillul Hashem worse than this is that YWN is publisized to the world what 3 wackos are saying
Enough is enough!
Being that their are Gedolei Hador behind them I think it would be wise to try to understand where they are coming from before spewing out our hatred for them. The facts are that this is not the first time that gedolei hador have said to protest in public places knowing full well that this would inconvenience a lot of people. Obviosly these gedolim feel that there is a very big danger to yiddishkeit in the draft law passed by the governmant and therefore they say to protest. I spoke to a a very big talmid chacham who has been mekarev thousands of people to yiddishkeit about this topic and he told me that we have to realize that our feelings about what is going on may not be coming from such a great level of love for Hashem and care that his name not be desecrated but rather it may be coming from a lack of realization of the severity of yiddishkeit being threatened and a lack of beleif in the words of chazal “geater is the one who causes another to sin than the one who kills him” and only a gadol – who has that apppreciation for both chillul hashem and the severity of yiddishkeit being threatened – can really decide on such a topic.
