A delegation of italian MPs and Union officials were turned back at Tel Aviv airport,among them was Vittorio Agnoletto, leader of the (Genova) Social Forum. Agnoletto said that he had laid down n the floor in passive protest at not being allowed to enter Israel.Four Zionazi security thugs picked him up, took him to a small room where they proceeded to kick the living shit out of him,needless to say he stopped protesting.

He was then allowed to join the rest of the party, who were in the process of being deported. All were interrogated and verbally some were physically abused.
Luciana Castellina, ex MEP was brutally dragged onto the plane as were other members of the party. there are reports that some were detained. Some were booted out via Athens.
The main party of Italian activists are also returning this morning (thursday 4) they will arrive at Fiumicino airport (Roma) at 10:30. should be a few hundred of their comrades at the airport to welcome the back. It will be interesting to see what the Italian government does in response and wether the stories will get onto main stream TV.
There will definately be some demonstrations today and probably questions asked in the Italian parliment.

Luciana castellina is a an ex MEP and in her sixties like she says "if they treat me like this you can imagine how they treat the palestinians" you can bet that she has never been dragged through an entire airport complex by her feet !!
