Israel has begun deporting activists attempting to enter the occupied West Bank as part of a so-called “flytilla” operation. Thirty-six people were deported from Israel’s Ben Gurion International Airport to Frankfurt, Germany, Sunday. Another group is expected to be deported on a Geneva-bound flight today. The “flytilla” term is a nod to the humanitarian flotilla that attempted to enter the occupied Gaza Strip by sea last week. Lufthansa airlines previously refused to fly a group of pro-Palestinian activists to Tel Aviv because their names appeared on a “black list” provided by Israeli authorities, but a second group managed to arrive in the country on a direct flight from Frankfurt.
