Pro-Palestinian graffiti found inside El Al plane in Italy

MILAN - Pro-Palestinian graffiti written in Arabic was found scrawled inside the cargo hold of an El Al plane during unloading at Milan's Malpensa airport Monday, raising Israeli concerns about Italian airport security.

"It was something like 'Long Live Palestine'," written with a marker pen, Raffaele Veri of the Malpensa airport police told reporters on Tuesday. "It has happened once before."

Israel's flag carrier, which normally uses round-the-clock security for its planes, said in a statement it had demanded an investigation into Monday's incident, without giving any further details of what had happened.

"Immediately upon receiving word of the incident, the company demanded that an investigation be launched into the circumstances surrounding it," El Al said.

Italian police said the security breach was unlikely to have happened at Malpensa, as the plane had only just landed when the graffiti was discovered.

The Israeli embassy in Rome said it does not comment on security matters.

A source close to the Italian airport police said local authorities only learned of the graffiti after the plane left the Italian airport for Tel Aviv on Monday.

Palestinian vandals.

Palestinian vandals.

Tagging is a Palestinian national pastime -- as you know, the buildings of the West Bank and Gaza are literally covered with political messages and verses from Qur'an.

Even Britain's famous graffiti artist Banksy has gone to Palestine to add his personal touch -- I will post the YouTube video later.

And The Wall is their biggest canvas.

You know, you have a lot of rhetoric about Israel but I am still confused on what you would like Israel to do. Or what they are currently doing that pisses you off so much..

Raw footage:

(This raw footage has the nat sound -- you can hear cars driving by and honking, and curious Palestinian passersby asking in Arabic "What is he doing ?")

Rhetoric ? Whatever.

What I think Israel should do is abide by international law -- dismantle its illegal settlements, end its illegal occupation of the West Bank AND Gaza, dismantle the sections of The Wall that are built illegally on Palestinian land, take its settlers and its soldiers and go home, and start to negotiate a real and just peace that protects the rights of all people.

It's nothing new or radical -- the world has been calling for this since 1967.

This is what the International community is demanding. Also, I (and I am sure, wom and others) strongly condemn any terrorist activities (suicide bombings, firing rockets in Israel, etc). There have been few threads where the whole issue has been discussed recently.

You give an inch and they want a yard. You give a yard and they want a mile. You give that mile to THEM and they will still continue to do what they do. Rocket attacks, terrorist attacks. It's in their blood. They don't know any other way. So with that, Israel has to police them.

You REALLY think by the settlers moving out and the soldiers going home is going to stop what the terrorists and for that matter most if not all Palestinians ultimately believe in and where they would like Isreal to be. Eliminated from the map.

Well, IT AIN'T GONNA HAPPEN !!!!!!!!!!!! Get over it

This is exactly the type of attitude that has caused the problem.

Talk about "give an inch and they take a mile."

Here's a little quiz for you:

When did Israel occupy the West Bank and Gaza ?

When did the UN and the rest of the world tell them to stop it ?

When did Israel start moving settlers into the West Bank and Gaza ?

When was the first Palestinian suicide bombing against Israelis ?

When was the first Palestinian rocket attack against Israelis ?

So um.... who has given the inch ? And who has taken the mile ?

Seeing as you are so brilliant. I would like you to give me the answers with links to where I may read each of your answers.

Again, IT AINT GONNA HAPPEN ! ! ! ! ! ! ! .

AND, if you want it to change, why don't you head over there and help out instead of sitting here giving instructions as to how things should be. Don't sit behind a glass wall and #######-tate what should and should not happen.

I love you people who ###### and complain on here about what Israel does and doesn't do.

I personally wish that Israel would go in as they've mentioned and finish the job they should have done along time ago.

The world will ###### up a storm, but in the end Israel will be looked up to for not standing down to the ENEMY

Israeli forces killed four Palestinian militants in the occupied West Bank.

BULLET-RIDDLED TAXI

Witnesses said a team of Israeli commandos disguised as locals and riding in a taxi with

Palestinian licence plates drove up to a car full of militants and sprayed it with bullets.

Reuters Television footage showed three dead men, sprawled out and bloody in the

shattered vehicle. Another man lay on the tarmac as Palestinian passersby tried in vain

to revive him.

The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the raid, saying its forces intended to carry out

arrests but opened fire after seeing that three of the militants had assault rifles.

The three Islamic Jihad members, a military spokeswoman said, "took part in terrorist

attacks in which there were many Israeli casualties."

Palestinian officials identified one of the Islamic Jihad dead as the group's local leader.

The fourth militant belonged to al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Mr Abbas's Fatah.
