Pro-Palestine Protesters Disrupt Tel Aviv-Bound Flight at Milan Airport, Causing Two-Hour Delay
What exactly were these 'activists' trying to prove?
A group of pro-Palestine protesters blockaded the boarding gate for an ITA Airways flight to Tel Aviv at Milan Malpensa Airport today, leading to heated confrontations with passengers and a reported two-hour delay in departure.
The incident unfolded at Gate B30, where demonstrators gathered to protest, chanting slogans, waving Palestinian flags, and holding signs while physically obstructing access to the gate. Video footage circulating online captures the "activists" arguing with travelers attempting to board, with some passengers visibly frustrated as they navigated the blockade.
The disruption has sparked significant online backlash, with critics labeling the actions as xenophobic and antisemitic, arguing that targeting civilians traveling to Israel crosses into intimidation.
X user Elchanan Orlansky piointed out,"Targeting innocent civilians just because they’re Israeli isn’t activism, it’s bigotry, plain and simple. Harassing Jews at airports is not “Free Palestine,” it’s “Blame the Jew,” and we’ve seen where that leads. If you stay silent, you’re complicit.
Passengers eventually boarded after the delay, and the flight proceeded to Tel Aviv.
