Shame on this coward, defeatist and un-intelligent (any other term I thought of wouldn't be published) Bowing before the enemy, specially if it's the leftist press makes a mock of us! Please somebody jail Olmert and his partners before they do irreversible hurt.

What these well meaning folks haven't grasped yet is that Gaza is being held hostage by HAMAS and not Israel, and that Palestinians want to flee - justifiably - because of HAMAS. They are just looking for an easy target rather than analyzing the situation critically and realistically.

So much for deciding "At the Highest Level" to block the Boats' entry into Gaza ,Israel has again made a mockery of itself.I have far more respect for the people in this Boat ,odious and sickening self-righteous morons that they are,than the israeli Government who say one thing and do another.No integrity and no consistency,not to mention no morals.At least these smug Bastards in the boat say something,mean it and follow through ,come Rain ,snow or whatever.

These guys want a media opportunity. Israel should give them one. The Navy should put huge "Free Gilad" banners all over the boats that enforce the blockade. How will that look in "Free Gaza"'s annual report?

just pretend it never happen, one could never believe a word that comes out of the mouth of livni Only 73 Days Left

for those who are on boat protesting against the blockade..DON'T YOU JUST GET IT? there is a blockade to protect the israeli citizen from the rockets fired by terrorists.if you were in the shoes of the israeli population..would you open the blockade and put your wives and children in danger?idiots! TO ALL ISRAELIS, GET ON A BOAT AND PROTEST AGAINTS THE ROCKETS FIRED IN YOUR TERRITORY!

Why say that you are going to block the Boats and then go back on your words?.Zero integrity,zero credibility,not just Olmert,the whole lot of them.I trust these boat people more than Israeli Govt.,at least they mean what they say and say what they mean.

Read it and weep: "The time has come to really open Gaza's sea border," she said, "We, as people of peace, are working towards this goal." Working for peace? Not even close. They are dupes of the Palestinian lobbyists, that's all. I doubt that anybody from the "Free Gaza" group will dare to open their mouths in Gaza and call on the Hamas government to make peace with Israel. In case anybody forgot, Hamas official policy is to NEVER make peace with Israel. And that makes them dupes, and complicit in Palestinian war crimes because they'll no doubt say nothing about the thousands of missiles fired at Israeli civilians from Gaza over the past 8 years (one of the reasons why the border is closed). There appears to be no shortage of allegedly smart, do-gooders in the world who make themselves look like unbelievably stupid hypocrites.

Considering one other person who was a recipient of this prize, I don't think it gives any additional prestige at all to this group of ill informed well wishers on a little boat to Gaza

I really wish the Foreign Office or the IDF, whichever one keeps blabbing that these people will be prevented from entering Gaza, would either do so or simply shut up. They are making fools of themselves.

What fanastic news! Just shows what compassion, determination and integrity can do in the face of overwhelming odds. Israel is an occupier and a habital abuser of human rights and the Free Gaza Movement has once again shown what can be done when you refuse to remain silent and refuse to bow down to oppressors. To all those who say the boats should have been sunk... yeah, that would have done a lot for the crediability of Israel, sinking and possibly killing peace activists including a Nobel Peace Laurete (but I guess your hatred blinds you to the stupidity of doing such a thing). Congratulations to the wonderful activists aboard the SS Dignity!!! Now for an end to the siege and Israel's illegal and brutal occupation of the West Bank.

As the Palestinians have declared that there will be no peace ever, empty the West Bank into Gaza so that all Palestinians may enjoy the benefits of Islamic Freedom under Hamas and they may all dine on the boatload of supplies brought by these "useful idiots".

Israelis speak with Fork -Tongues,Talula Bankhead.

“We are tired of fighting, we are tired of being Courageous, we are tired of defeating, our enemies We want to be able to live in an entirely different Environment of relations with our enemies." Ehud Olmert June 2005 address to the Israel Policy Forum in New York HOW COULD YOU NOT MAKE ALIYAH, JUST TO VOTE FOR LIVNI ? A PARTY STALWART, SHE IS SO DEDICATED ! Israels own ideological JOAN OF ARC ! IT JUST GIVES ME GOOSE BUMPS TO REALIZE HOW FORTUNATE WE ARE TO HAVE SUCH AN ICON OF LOYALTY IF SHE WAS GAY I'D VIE FOR HER AFFECTIONS !

Your ignorance is only superceded by your blind hatred of Israel. When will you Australians compensate the aborigines of Australia whom you raped and stole the land from. Your hypocricy is only trumped by your ignorance. It is better to remain silent and let us all think you are stupid then to put it in writing and demonstrate your stupidity for the whiole cyber world to see....Schmuck!

it seems either the truce or the blockade will have to end at some point to be credible..meanwhule these protesters are bad news

Well Little Buddies, It's a good thing the Minnow made it safely. But somehow, I get the feeling that Thurston and wifey will be lynched; torn to pieces for their embodiement of the Great Satan and it's Godless capitalism. Ginger and Maryanne will be repeatedly raped and then stoned for their "whorishness"., The Professor will be tortured until he agrees to make explosive belts which will be placed on mentally challenged persons, not unlike the brainless Gilligan, to be exploded in centers occupied by the Zionist enemy.The Captain will be tortured and murdered out of hand in the public square. Indeed a Tale of a Fateful lTrip.

Larry, I'm NOT Tallulah Bankhead - she was born a long long time before me! I'm Talula. While I have to suffer being called many names here (some of them I deserve, I know) at least call me by my correct name. There's a good boy

Couldn't agree with you more...well said...as for the OZZY....I wonder how much she cries at night for the human rights of the Aborigines!

As an Australian I am deeply ashamed of what our British forefathers did to the First Australians. Now, there's a TRULY downtrodden people. The Pals are another thing altogether. They are a disgrace to themselves and a blight on the world. They, and their imbecile supporters all need a good kick up the arse.

is is true what they claim in South Africa? That when an Afrikaaner moves to Australia he raises the IQ in both countries?

If there are any left.Fair Dinkum.

Names,and if I hurt your feelings then I am genuinely sorry.

If you think that you "deserve' some of the names you are being called then you must be aware that you are doing something wrong,in which case you may want to consider changing your ways,with all due respect.

somneone else should sink the boat. The problem is that shit floats, especially the Israel-hating dispora kike Goldtein
