Dozens of Israeli passport holders were detained for questioning and forced to undergo humiliating strip searches at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport on Monday morning.

The Israelis had their passports confiscated after landing on a Turkish Airlines flight from Tel Aviv and others who arrived from Bangkok en route to Israel. They were questioned for more than an hour and subsequently released.

While they were detained they were asked to remove clothing in dark rooms and were forbidden to go to the bathroom.

Turkish officials said Monday's incident was in response to the humiliating treatment a group of 40 Turkishnationals received at Ben Gurion Airport on Sunday.

However Israeli officials said theTurks were detained for twenty minutes and subjected to questioning after they told security personnel the purpose of their trip to Israel was to visit the AlAksa mosque.

An Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman said the incident was under investigation and officials had already been in contact withTurkey to find out if the incident was the result of a new directive or if it was a local initiative by airport authorities.

  • @networkcomputing Moron* And Israel is definitely not "Palestine". DUH!

  • @BowieLovinJew historically is israel palestina you maron!

  • @networkcomputing Historically, and archaeologically, that land is not theirs in the first place. Reason and facts surely won't work for your pea-sized brain, huh?

  • @BowieLovinJew free palestina! give their land back !!

  • @networkcomputing From an historical standpoint, Palestine is a lie. So, the lie is free. Good day.

  • @BowieLovinJew free palestina!

  • @networkcomputing There is no such thing as "Palestina". The original "Palestinians" came from the Greek island of Crete. They were known as the Philistines, and they lived on the outskirts of ancient Canaan (what is now known today as the Gaza Strip). So, "Palestine" is free in a sense. But the people who have any claim to that land no longer exist. And they were definitely not Arabs who occupy it today.

  • @BowieLovinJew free palestina

  • Fuck Turkey

  • FREE PALESTINE. go home back to europe where you belong.
