There's nothing to substantiate that, the ppl were willing to be searched. They came from Hajj, not Tehran. I know you get a kick out of watching Pali's suffer, but you lost the political game this time.

and how much money does israel get for it's military system, even if it's proven for what that money stands? You know how many terrorist where trained by your CIA? (bin laden even but ok)

[sparlaydekana]

Hosni mubarak is a coward as are all arab leaders! What a shame!

[generalmike133]

then let israel give the land back, let inspections in, face sactions for illegal nuclear posession, let them pay to rebuild gaza and excuse yourself to the world for your lies that brought war upon many! pure genocide country. Even hitler is easy to compare with your actions.

It's weird how Palestine neighbors used them as a reason to attack Israelis but when it comes to Palestinians and their refugees, they treat them perhaps just as bad as the way Israelis treat Palestinians...

I don't see the problem with allowing people to go home through egypt if they allowed then

to go to hajj through their border. I don't understand why it is very hard to distinguish civilians from those who are not.I can understand your frustration about the rockets but this is humanitarian situatin delt with cowardly by egypt and all parties like they alwayz do.

It's a shame ppl like that Czech woman are trying to bring politics into a spiritual and basic human rights matter. Those people have been searched, have not been caught with weapons trafficking and have returned from a journey that has nothing to do with politics. The Israelis want to squeeze the Palestinians to death.

[Sultan1923]

The EU is doing everything to help the Palestinians she says? Putting money in the pockets of Fatah and giving money to the Palestinian people are 2 totally different things.

I don't enjoy watching anyone suffering.

I only want to prevent the terorist of firing rockets into isreal.

after leaving gaza completely, the People living in gaza has no reason to send their Rockets into isreal! I can assure you that there will be an end to it soon.

Among these pilgrims, there are hundreds of soldiers that were trained in Iran and now they are allowed to get it. These people also carry more then US $150M to finance the Qasam rockets facility.
