Pro-Palestinian activists planned to visit the West Bank to support the Palestinian fight to independence and to protest against the "Israeli" cruel policies practiced, in a campaign now famous to be the "flytilla".
The "Israeli" enemy complied a black list to track those activists on the facebook social network page, where the activists posted their travel plans regarding the visit to the West Bank.

The black list included some 300 protesters' names, and was sent to the Euto-based airlines; the "Israeli" attempt resulted in detaining some 20 activists of who were capable of arriving in the "Israeli" airport.
Agencies affirmed that 301 activists were held by "Israeli" officials in the Ben Gurion airport and were questiones, where 69 of those detained were deported and denied entry to the entity.


A spokesman for the "Israeli" Foreign Ministry, Yigal Palmor, told the Associated Press that the black list was comprised of "people whom would be considered "provocations" upon arrival".
Palmor claimed, "These people announced on their internet sites that they planned to some here and cause disruption, and told their friends. We were able to contact other foreign ministries and simply give them links".


Organizers of the Pro-Palestine event were up in arms over the bully tactics that were executed by "Israeli" officials, accusing them of throwing a wrench in a campaign that was scheduled to be a peaceful gathering. The group released a statement calling the moves to prevent activists from reaching Israel "provocative, blackmailing and illegal."

The "Israeli" enemy is keeping an eye on the online campaigns of those who plan on using Facebook and other online social networking sites in order to rally anti-"Israel" events.
