colin   (12.30.08)
Has the Israeli also started to show cowardly tendencies.Blow the so called aid ship out the water.They are spys and traiters.
2. IF we are lucky I hope the boat sinks before Cyprus
meir elazar   (12.30.08)
3. Pity we didn't sink it
Israel   (12.30.08)
4. CNN reported the ship was "rammed" - what BS!
Fink Ployd   (12.30.08)
5. don't have enough fuel to return to Cyprus
er der   (12.30.08)
They should have thought it out a bit better. Well, boo hoo frikin hoo!
6. Captain's duty to have enough fuel, this is BS, all BS.
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (12.30.08)
7. shame on Israel
basel   (12.30.08)
I might understand the killing lust that the IDF have but they just can't stop others from helping the poor people in GAZA!!!! ITS AGAINST ALL LAWS.
8. We never saw boats from Cyprus in Ashdod!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (12.30.08)
We obviously don't need Cypriot food or doctors - maybe it's the other way around - but we certainly need MORAL SUPPORT when our CITIZENS are targeted by terrorists. NOBODY found the integrity to comfort us before we were forceed to act and protect the citizens. NOBODY - no 'doctors from Cyprus' or 'politicians from Ireland' or 'unbiased CNN or BBC journalists' came to Israel to comfort the victims of the reckelss mortars, Grad and Qassam attacks coming from Hamas and Iran-occupied Gaza. If that's the situation, thne we owe NOTHING to ANYBODY, and to all those racist agitators we say: KEEP OUT and AWAY from ISRAEL. You are not desired here and your pretense 'humanity' is rightfully regarded here as not more than proactive racism, malicious intent and venomous provocation. For as long as you directly and indirectly support and advocate terrorism and blood-libel against Israel we will keep you away AT ANY COST.
9. SHoot to kill
Enough with the Libs   (12.30.08)
Let them learn a lesson that NO MEANS NO. We should of sank it!
10. Should have helped them to reach solid land
JK ,   LA, USA   (12.30.08)
I guesstimate ... no more than 1 km straight down. Let them swim with fishes.
11. Playing with fire
Neil   (12.30.08)
These people really think they are safe when they play chicken with the IDF and then they are shocked when one of them gets killed. Ramming a naval vessel? They are very lucky they didn't get blown out of the water.
12. CNN?!!
steve ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.08)
What next, Ted Turner's yacht?
13.  aid boat to Gaza Goldfried u
Yonatan ,   Jeruaslem   (12.30.08)
r full of cr^p
14. ok, now you're serious
daniel   (12.30.08)
They'll make a big pooha about it, but remember: The only reason they dared to defy your orders is because they don't fear you. This has now changed.
15. Cynthia McKinney is on that boat
Mike ,   Modi'in   (12.30.08)
McKinney is the former congresswoman, referred to in the article. She became infamous for slapping a cop at the Capitol. She's an extreme leftwing radical, but that's not her big problem. Her big problem is her crazy hair and eyes. Check her out here: http://southdakotapolitics.blogs.com/south_dakota_politics/images/cynthia_mckinney.jpg
16. Why just block it?
George ,   Kfar Saba   (12.30.08)
Surely a ship that refuses an order to stop should be blown out of the water. After all, it might be carrying explosives.
17. why intercepting in international water?
observer   (12.30.08)
the boat is now 4 hours from Tyre, Lebanon escorted by Israeli warship. But why the boat was intercepted in international water? Israeli officials say they extended Israeli water area according to international law. But, that is not war and that is not military boat. Their logic is: if Israel's breaches the humanitarian law, it won't be blamed for breaching international law.
18. ISraeli shipping
A Greek ,   Athens, Greece   (12.30.08)
Next time any Israeli ship passes through Greek waters, it should be blown sky high, then down again to Davy Jones - no questions asked!
19. #17 Nobody here really cares about your "observations"
Islamophobe   (12.30.08)
The aid boat is nothing more than a stunt which imbeciles like you like to climb on and make other stupid analogies such as " violations of human rights", etc. Get Off.
20. To #15 LMAO :-)
Victor ,   Tel Aviv   (12.30.08)
21. to No 7
fish israel   (12.30.08)
Can you please specify which laws it is against? We are tired of hearing that anything that Israel does is against international laws, I'm amazed how many international law experts spring up at every corner on the globe as soon as Israel is mentioned. Everything we do is either illegal or against the law... Some kind of a global law school, never a dull moment, eh?
22. another int.law expert - no 17&7
fish israel   (12.30.08)
Now it is humanitarian law... OMG.... you may call as you feel it boys - against-Israel law, the law that gives you a right to single out, attack, criticize, hate, besmirch, paint in black one country in the world only ISRAEL. You claim you care about human rights. I say you care about hating Israel and Jews.
23. They should have sunk it
Danny   (12.30.08)
24. we should confiscate the medicines and. . .
Reuven ,   Ramat Aviv, Israel   (12.30.08)
send them to Sederot. And then sink the boat.
25. 18 A Greek: Your comment is so typically psychotic for a
Rivkah   (12.30.08)
Greek. You remind me of the Greek relatives of Demi McFadden who went to Greece for her father's funeral, only to be threatened and beaten up and robbed by her Greek relatives who were jealous of her being married to an American. She jumped out of the car she was being punched out in and fled Greece without going to the funeral and flew back to America. That taught me all I need to know about Greeks. They are crazy. YOU think a little boat that could carry a nuclear weapon to destroy Ashkelon (see chapter 2 of Zephaniah in the Bible) or Jerusalem (see Isaiah 3:8 and Micah 3:12) is not a possible problem.
26. To #16 Then we will bomb athens!
jason white ,   afula,israel   (12.30.08)
You have no military and yet you threaten us. Keep your greek nose out of our business or we will celebrate a second Hanukah!
27. aid ship
dondon ,   catarman, phils   (12.30.08)
the ship's captain or the leader aboard the ship should have asked permission to enter Gaza in the first place. now that they're blocked by israeli navy ships they complain! these people were bunch of hard headed fools trying to undermine israel. they're ship should have been destroyed!
28. #18
Madeleine ,   Israel   (12.30.08)
Well hello there! Israeli boats don't go to Greece with the aim of provoking a sovereign country and aiding its enemies. We are at war, matey, in case you didn't realize. These people provoke and then run crying when they get hurt. Where's international solidarity with our citizens onthe Gaza periphery, who've been traumatized by continuous Hamas rocket fire while our government showed 'restraint'. Well, guess what? We're a bit fed up of being indiscriminately shelled so we retailiated. don't like it? Go find someone else to play with.
29. #18
(12.30.08)
would this action of yours be GREEK STYLE OR STRAIGHT?
30. #18 Next time your ship approaches the USA
Frank ,   USA   (12.30.08)
