31. what siege?? its called naval blockade!!
(08.23.08)
why do our news reporters have to translate incorrectly and affect the world by these stupid mistakes
32. #25 Balloons!
observer   (08.23.08)
those are actually inflated condoms. being in a blockade dire need, you will see wonders.
33.  Palestinians: Leftist boat didn't bring enough food...
(08.23.08)
This sounds like whores bitching their john didn't leave enough dope after a night of pleasure!!! (sorry to leave such strong metaphors but there is no other way to describe this shameful situation.) How dare the leftists!!!! SHAME ON THEM. Peace and independence comes when one makes sacrifices onto themselves not by the misguided good will of others. If they are truly hungry they MUST rise against their terrorist leaders not those whom they wish to destroy. Again, the blockade could be lifted in a heartbeat once the people of gaza rise up and take peace rather than abject hate for their neighbors. When they obliterate their charter of death and change their ways there will be no need for blockades. Sadly, these people choose death rather than life as demonstrated by their behaviors. Furthermore, these people are simply pawns by their own. BTW: WHAT HAPPENED TO THE LUSH GREENHOUSES LEFT BY THE OUSTED ISRAELIS? WHAT HAPPENED TO GOOD OL HARD WORK FROM WITHIN? Again, if it is not food it is blood. If it is not by blood it is by vengeance. ENOUGH. I feel as though I might now need to vomit. (again, sorry for the harshness however no one can say it is not true) Thank you YNET for at least having the courageous to post things on your forum which no one else dares to do.............
34. Has Epstein Been to Any Other Arab Country?
Thomas   (08.23.08)
to compare lifestyles? What makes her think Arabs in Yemen or Libya live better? Does she know that in just about every Arab country there are road blocks to protect the leaders from the Islamic assassins who plot to kill them? Probably not. Maybe somebody needs to put her on another payroll to compare.
35. Do gooders
Nice bloke ,   Rochdale   (08.23.08)
This is a hilarious example of the do-good brigade self-publicising themselves whilst at the same time achieving absolutely nothing. I wouldn't be surprised if Hamas arrests some of the women, from these boats, because they are dressed immodestely on "Muslim soil". Useful idiots insults the word idiot with regards to these people.
36. 34 Epstein is a self hating Jew.......
Barb ,   NY   (08.23.08)
like so many who go before her they are all very angry people, most certainly misguided anger against their own. As a Jew I am so embarrassed by this kind of crap I could simply scream. The crazy thing is that these supposed compassionate self hating Jews and their co-hort hating friends who are not Jewish would never talk about the Hamas charter or why there is a blockade in the first place. Sadly, a dead Jew to a self hating Jew is a victory. This is why they portray to the world and this is indeed what gives the non-Jews who hate Jews the wind for their sails.
37. Haha Palestinians. It Had Nothing to Do with You
Bill   (08.23.08)
or your needs. It had to do with these people getting attention for themselves. Who knows if you really need those hearing aids. My guess is they were brought to remind people that Israel bombs you. You'd think your "friends" would have asked if you needed anything before embarking. I've never felt more pity for you if this how your sympathizers treat you. Now eat the balloons they were so kind to bring you.
38. How Rude to arrive Empty-Handed
Larry ,   zefat israel   (08.23.08)
These Activist Scumbags are not just ignorant ,they are also extremely rude to come to Gaza empty handed.What a cheap ,miserable bunch.
39. #29 Include this in your itineray, Selective Observer
Cynthia ,   USA   (08.23.08)
1. Kassam rocket launch pads that have sent hundreds of kassams and mortar rockets into Israel to kill innocent people. 2. Bomb making labs and training sites where shahids are trained to kill as many men women and children as possible. 3. Terror training camps where even young children are indoctrinated into terror and hate. 4. Pallywood production centers where anti-Israel propaganda and misinformation are produced. 5. Hamas television stations where children's programs and various other anti-Israel and anti-semitic programs are produced and distributed. 6. The homicide bombing museum where the Palestinians gloat over their shahid's accomplishments. 7. Pictures of the Karine A, the Palestinian vessel Israel intercepted with tons of weaponry intended to reach Gaza with the means to kill, maim, disable Israelis. 8. Shahid videos and posters Palestinians proudly display to show terror accomplishments. They have no other accomplishments to display. 9. Economic reports of Gaza and the West Bank to highlight the escalating Palestinian unemployment and poverty while funding for terror continues and Palestinian leaders do nothing to stop the terror necessary to proceed with a long lasting peace agreement. 10. The hope and dignity of the Palestinian people has been destroyed by their own leaders as well as their foreign influences. Instead of helping them build a country for themselves, they direct the Palestinians to destroy Israel. 11. Stop lying on behalf of the Palestinians and tell the truth about their role in this conflict.

44. Dumb leftists
(08.23.08)
This story reminds me of something that happened years ago. A group of Jewish leftists came to Hebron to help the "poor" Arabs. Several of these Jewish girls were wearing short shorts and open sleeveless blouses. An old Arab man who was standing nearby looked at them and asked: Why did they bring these prostitutes here from Tel Aviv?? This is a true story.
45. Blair's Sister in Law/Family Ignore JIHAD Against UK KIDS
Linda Rivera ,   New York   (08.23.08)
From other British articles and comments, it appears not offending Britain's large Muslim population is far more important than protecting innocent British children. thisislondon.co.uk British girls as young as 14 are being trafficked for sex within the UK 03.07.08 British girls as young as 12 are being forced into prostitution by migrants in a new crime of 'internal' people trafficking. Children from ordinary families are groomed by older men posing as boyfriends before being pimped around the UK to have sex up to 20 times a night. They are raped and often drugged, according to police. Officers have identified 'syndicates of Iraqi men throughout the UK' behind the exploitation... A UK Human Trafficking Centre intelligence report says girls as young as 12 are taken from town to town and controlled with threats and assault. In one operation, 32 victims were identified in the Sheffield area alone. All were aged 12 to 15 and had been raped. In another study, police say girls 'are given to a life of exploitation, waking up in anonymous towns, unable to contact family and with no way out'. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23506546-details/British+girls+as+young+as+14+are+being+trafficked+for+sex+within+the+UK/article.do An authoritative Muslim stated: "Thanks to your democratic laws we will invade you; thanks to our religious laws we will dominate you." http://www.meforum.org/article/448 Violent Muslim Protest Outside the Danish Embassy in London (February 3, 2006) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qoMeUcC_M20 Protesting Rapid Islamization of Europe - Peaceful demonstrators attacked by Brussels police http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xR-J8cXYVIo&feature=related ’“One day, millions of men will leave the Southern Hemisphere to go to the Northern Hemisphere. And they will not go there as friends. Because they will go there to conquer it. And they will conquer it with their sons. The wombs of our women will give us victory.” —Former Algerian President Houari Boumedienne’s prophetic warning to Europe in a speech at the U.N. In 1974. With all their enormous power, why is Tony Blair's family not stopping the abduction and Muslim enslavement of British children? WHY ARE VICTIMIZED BRITISH CHILDREN NOT BEING RESCUED?
46. tali epstein: pay a tribute to ur parents' souls
berndt   (08.23.08)
say to haniye'h how much u don't care for a boy named gilad!
47. Food is reaching Gaza daily
robert goldman ,   Kfar Saba Israel   (08.23.08)
Enough food crosses the border each dayt in trucks and trailers from Israel. these boats are just a farce!
48. Heddy Epstein is no holocaust survivor. She's lying
Ken Jurist   (08.23.08)
She was in England during the war from 39 to 45. She's another pallywood liar.

50. Baffled
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach, USA   (08.23.08)
I am lost as to how you people have come to hate the Palestinians so much. It's not enough to take their land from them. It's not enough to treat them like dogs. Anyone who sees and sympathizes with their plight and tries to help is down in the toilet along with them. How long do you expect to get away with it? A state based on hatred, stealing and lying is temporary. It can't last. It won't last. You are hating on borrowed time.
51. vile threat
observer   (08.23.08)
"they will at some point ask Israel to let them into the country so they could fly back home, since it is unlikely they will want to sail back the way they came." said Foreign Ministry spokesman. unlikely they will want to sail back the way they came because they made it once through the sea minefield and Israel is preparing other surprises for them! how many Israelis are among the delegation? and how many Americans?
52. Don't be a total idiot!
jb ,   Yahopetzville   (08.23.08)
You bigotry obviously blinds you to the truth! They don't want to got back the way they came simply because there is no propaganda value in it, none, nada, rien du tout! If they had really wanted to help the "poor suffering" Palis there are thousands of ways to help meaningfully instead of the useless display of so-called solidarity with a bunch of Jew killers. And you and your ilk are just gritting your teeth in bitter disappointment that there was no confrontation. Your words are filled with nonsense and hatred . You lost big-time on this one. As for your friends, they can leave through Egypt. They have only hatred and contempt for Israel.
53. Be way more fun to not let them leave!
Robert ,   USA   (08.23.08)
54. at least the party can go on
HM   (08.23.08)
all those poor deaf palis can hear the balloons popping at the party.as they celibate. they boats should have been turned back, at the very least.
55. Who is right?
Jerrold Cohen ,   Seal Beach USA   (08.23.08)
Who do we believe? An Israeli source? Palestinians: Leftist boats didn't bring enough food Gaza disappointment: Palestinian source tells Ynet local residents disappointed by small quantities of food or a Palestinian source? The mission was symbolic, but was more important than 10 tons of rice, as one Gazan said, reiterating, “We don’t want food, we want freedom.” Since Free Gaza spokeswoman Greta Berlin said many times: this is not a humanitarian trip. It is a human rights trip, I believe the Palestinian source. I don't think the mass of Palestinians are that dumb. What can two tiny fishing boats bring to 1 million starving Gazans? One drop of rice each? No. They bring the message: Palestinians deserve to be free. They are the first of many, and then Israel must get the message or it cannot survive.
56. Give Hamas Nothing
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville, USA   (08.23.08)
The Palestinians have once again succeeded in deceiving themselves into thinking that they are deceiving everyone else. You require an honest partner with whom to negotiate. You cannot negotiate any kind of peace with Islamic fundamentalists for the following reasons: 1. They don`t want peace - they want all of Israel and it's citizens dead. 2. They are guided by a twisted, backward and brutal doctrine. 3. You can`t negotiate with them. Concessions are viewed as weakness and it`s never enough. Remember Arafat? 4. They are violent, misogynous, masters at subterfuge and simply cannot be trusted - no matter what they agree to. Their belief system is incompatible with Western culture. 5. They live in a medieval time warp built on a foundation of fanaticism, bigoted intolerance and anti-Semitism. Good luck making peace with this lot.

observer   (08.23.08)
“What we’ve done shows that people can do what governments should have done. If people stand up against injustice, we can truly be the conscience of the world.” --Jeff Halper, Ph.D. Jeff is an Israeli professor of anthropology and coordinator of the Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD), a non-violent Israeli peace and human rights organization that resists the Israeli occupation on the ground. In 2006, the American Friends Service Committee nominated Jeff to receive the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize with Palestinian intellectual and activist Ghassan Andoni. Jeff sailed to Gaza aboard the SS Free Gaza.
