Israel were interrogated, refused entry, jailed, and are being deported in
stages.

While the remaining boats in the Free Gaza Movement's flotilla are still
trying to leave the Greek ports, activists from around the world organized
a mass fly-in known as the Flytilla. The activists were invited by
Palestinian groups in a campaign called 'Welcome to Palestine' and
intended to protest Israel's practice of frequently denying the entry of
activists and Diaspora Palestinians into the occupied Territories. The
Real News' Lia Tarachansky spoke with Laura Durkay, an American
activist, while she was being held in the Ben Gurion airport and with
Nadine Nasir, a Canadian of Palestinian origin who has been denied
entry into Israel multiple times about the experience of Palestinians trying
to enter Israel or the occupied Palestinian territories. Most of the hundreds
of activists who participated in the Fly-in never left their countries. 124
spent the weekend in an Israeli jail and are being deported in stages.
After extensive interrogation, four were allowed entry.
