31. unload the ship in israel, leave the passengers on board...
eporue ,   europe   (05.27.10)
and then they can make an arrangement with egypt, to enter gaza for a week or so ? also, israel immigration could assign visas on the ships, directly to the passengers. or maybe egypt would let them transferring the goods to gaza, if they organize the trucks themselves (via egyptian rafah) ? i understand, that the shipment has to be checked, and not everything can pass. but i dont see the point, why the passengers should be detained and returned...
32. I wonder if the flotilla has dietry supplements?
Jay3 ,   Israel   (05.27.10)
I mean, you seen how fat most of these so called starving Gazzans are?

34. Most residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip wish to emigrat
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.27.10)
A Palestinian poll showed that most residents of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip wish to emigrate, compared to 25 percent in the West Bank. According to the poll, 74 percent of Gazans support continuing the cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in the Strip. The poll showed that 64 percent believe the Western-backed Abbas’ term should end now. The poll was released by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. Pollsters surveyed 1270 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza. The margin of error was 3 percentage points. The time has come for these people to stop with politics and terrorism and search for a solution for their families based on well-being and peace. Most of the inhabitans of Gaza hope for this solution as explained at : http://xrl.us/bjg97
35. Stop the ships and send them to Sudan
(05.27.10)
Where innocent civilians are raped and murdered by Arab militia on daily basis, and people are starving. Throw the lefties with their cameras there for a month, this will be a good reality show, with a lot of blood and violence just like the audience loves.
36. Do you realize how lame Israel sounds?
GretaB ,   Los Angeles, CA   (05.27.10)
Everyone knows that Israel allows only 81 items into Gaza. Everyone in the WORLD knows that Israel occupies 1.5 million people in Gaza. Everyone KNOWS that Israel takes in only a minimum of supplies.. and why should the Palestinians have to count on Israel for their supplies? Let our people go. Let us live as normal human beings. Israel is not going to win the PR game
37. Israel is handling this matter correctly.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (05.27.10)
The flotilla participants cannot be allowed to provide direct assistance to Hamas. They are already doing plenty of damage to the West by furnishing propaganda to Hamas via this disingenuous flotilla stunt - which was fully intended to spur an Israeli interdiction.

39. #36 Realize how lame you sound?
Cynthia ,   USA   (05.27.10)
Everyone knows the Palestinians smuggle weapons into Gaza for terror purposes. The blockade is the outcome. While Israel disengaged from Gaza in 2005, they still provide humanitarian supplies. There is nothing stopping the Palestinians from growing their own food and being more self-sufficient. They have ample funds but elect to invest in weapons and terror. And "normal human beings" don't fire kassams and mortar bombs at their neighbors.
40. Is Colonel Moshe Levi live in Gaza?
Yossi normal israeli   (05.27.10)
How Colonel Moshe Levi know what is going in Gaza, did he visit there, did he check the 20,000 houses That Israeli army destroy? did he check the hospitals? He sit in his office in Tel Aviv and spread propoganda that only in Israel people will buy.
41. Jossi
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (05.27.10)
Huh, Jossi..and how these pissnicks know what is going on in Gaza? Did they visit there? They sit in their comfortable living rooms and listen to the leftist propaganda that only they buy. Btw, I believe you have been to all these 20,000 houses and checked them, so you can claim that IDF destroyed them. Btw, I am not Israeli, and what is normal in this world?

get it into your head.we don't have to give anything to gaza.we have allredy evacuated the place,left it to the facist racist hamas regime that even slaughtered their own supposedly(dont count on it) palastinian brothers. yes,the arabs countries(and hamas particulalry) has a peculiar grasp of reality... in their view it's their natural right to kill israelie jews where as the israelies should give their neck to the palastinian butcher.why? israeli jews has a lot of examples from jews history in europe and the arab world why they can't allow themselves to be the weak side. the arabs muslims can't bear to feel weak and they have a very big luck that that they have us the israelies jews as their neighbours.(what do you think could have happen,for example,if like the kurds,they had turkey as their nighbour?(even better the british:) where in history can you find even one example of "weak" side(they have all the arab wolrd and oil weapone on their side) in a conflict that has the odesity to make demands from the stronger side while he is trying to kill it again and again?if it was vise versa,the jews were the really weakest side here,what do you think could happen here in this region.? what did you do recently that realy helped to the dead and arrested iranians political protesters?:)what did you do for the peaple of darpur?what did you hypocrat do for the tamiles in sri lanka.the list can go on and on. to sum it up: get it into your mind again,(and whether you like it or not,I don't care) we are defending ourselves according to natural low from peaple that says it outloud(off course you europians hypocrats dont want to hear it)that they want to destroy us. but get a nother thing.I don't know if you are a religious person or not but even if not,the universe is a smart entitiy,this is my belief.if the israelies are realy such a "natiz's" as the arab and the anti-semitic propoganda is claiming,we will be extinct from this region.if not,you will see this country inspite of all her enemies keep on developing and giving so much presents to the world as it always did. the antisemitic and the arabs can't bear the "successfulness" of the jews in all eares.let me tell you something as an israely jew,it's not a matter of "god chosen people". not at all.we(ok,most of us:) do not(a lot of israelies are secular)feel like chosen peaple.we just concentrate on the good and do what ever it takes to protect and secure the proccess of development.this is a true calture.it's developing for tousnands of years,assimilating new and old together,ever evolving in a turbulance of eternal religious secular spiritual conflict. the arabs would be very wise if they will accept us as their neigbours,recognize without any smart tricks the jewish state.then and only then peace will come to earh and even the anti-semit people will rest at last and have peacfull life.:) but first the arab and the antisemitic lies must be stoped.there is a proverb on one of the well known jewish hasidics rabi's of the past:"if you really want the truth,first you must bury very deep the lie" that is to say there can never be peace in this region untill the arab world and especially the so called palastinians will say it outloud!: the jews has an historical(and not only historical) right on this land,they have right in jerusalem and in every other place on this country!" what does it mean?it means that they will acknowledge truth and that's all.believe it or not if I will hear such words from the palastinians and arabs,it will be easy for me as an ever developing israely even to give up the west bank for the sake of better life for the palastinians,because I acknowledge they are already there.this is pragmatisim and reality checking,not wishfull thinking.even the issue of jerusalem can be solved as long as the arab reinvention of history will cease to be. Best Regards proud israely secular spiritual jew in the land of zion.
