The start of a terrible...

.... harassment 

Just before take-off from Ben Gurion: fasten your seat belts,  switch off your cell phones.  I took this photo.

Then all got interrupted by a security guy that told first one of us to leave the plane. After a while, three others were taken out, and lastly myself and another one.  The first of us had to answer questions, the rest of us just had to wait without any explanation. The flight got delayed by one our hour when we were allowed to enter the plane again.  

All the passengers  were stressed out worrying about their connections.   Turkish Airlines cabin crew were amazing in their efforts to stop the harassment. I was so touched when one of the crew told the security guy that "You have to stop this harassement! We are not going to take off without our friends!" and the rest of the crew surrounded us. 

We were so delayed that we were given a special escort through the airport to the next flight. We had to run and unfortunately, it happened so quickly that one of the participants slipped and broke her ankle.. She was escorted quickly to hospital and have to stay there four days. 
As our escort said: This happens when Israel decide to bully the passengers that have been in Palestine.
