1. The intent of the "activists" - supporters of the Islamist..
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (05.27.10)
Hamas international terror organization of course - is not to deliver goods to Gaza but rather to generate a confrontation with Israel. If they really cared about the people of Gaza, they could have delivered the very same goods through the existing channels, either through Israel or through Egypt, both of which countries border with Gaza and through both goods, e.g. food, clothing, hardware, electricity, water, petrol, are passed regularly. But going through the proper channels would not generate the TV pictures these "activists" seek, thus the "flotilla" that would connect with those whose goal has been the annihilation of the nation-state of the Jewish people and with it all traces of Jewish life in it.
2. Flights should be paid for by selling cargo
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (05.27.10)
It is outrageous that the people of Israel not only have to cover the expenses of stopping these fanatics but that we will foot the bill to ship them home. This is as bad as replacing burnt garbage cans in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim each time they are torched in a protest. Make the law breakers pay, why should our (my) taxes cover both the law enforcement and costs incurred by hoodlums?

6. Make Them Pay For Their Own Tickets Home
Bill Foonman ,   Jacksonville USA   (05.27.10)
Why give them a free ride at Israel's expense? Keep them locked up in Beersheba until they pay their own way home.
7. PM ERDOGAN, Is this the Same Israel you let enter to OECD?
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (05.27.10)

stude ham   (05.27.10)
israel is too nice to its enemies... just look at how arab and muslim countries treat their enemies.
11. Israel is going to ruin itself
ab   (05.27.10)
It would cost millions to accomodate Israel-haters . Find other ways of dealing with them
12. Fly home at Israel's expense?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (05.27.10)
Oh, I think not. Let these troublemakers and interfering busybodies who care not a whit for any other critical area of the world swim home. Good luck with the sharks.
13. TODAY I TALK. TOMORROW I GONE. SOME OTHERS COME TO TALK.
ATİLLA KARAGÖZOĞLU   (05.27.10)
14. Why On OUR Tab?
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (05.27.10)
They need to be arrested and fined the cost of a ticket PLUS a large premium to dissuade others from doing this in the future. They should sit in jail until it is paid- AND they should also be fined for jail time expenses- accrued daily.
15. #8 - Atilla
Solomon ,   Bklyn   (05.27.10)
How do you "respect others lives" by supporting Hamas and Hesbollah who not only fire rockets indiscriminately, hitting their own people in the bargain, but also hide among their own people and behind their own women and children, caring of their own lives but not those of their own people. Some respect.
16. #14 well...
(05.27.10)
for the same reason that we are paying for Ben-Dvir and other rightwingers...the reason? Someone has to protect all these idiots because truly the G-d of Israel has had enough and isn't paying for them anymore!
17. :: #1 – “proper channels”
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (05.27.10)
You mean of course “proper Israeli occupational channels”. The likes of Eitan Haber always have trouble describing, in correct terms, the actual situation because if they did they would be admitting the barbarity of Israeli war crimes ie; collective punishment. Gaza is under Israeli military control and Israel, as a form of collective punishment, bans such items as: children's crayons, toys and books, vinegar and spices, paper, glass, baby diapers, jam, chocolate, french fries, dried fruit, fabrics, notebooks, empty flowerpots etc etc from entering Gaza. Obviously Israel can never be trusted to deliver this aid to Gaza as it would defeat the purpose of Israel’s collective punishment of 1.5m civilians. The flotilla will arrive and yet again the World will witness Israel refusing to allow international aid into Gaza and no amount of ‘soft’ words from Haber and his ilk will lessen the disgust that the World will feel towards this inhumanity.
18. Israel does the right thing
roli ,   miami beach, USA   (05.27.10)
however, there is a third option that is missing. A lot of the people who might be on those boats have their hearts in the right place but fear is in their head, and that's what makes them so wrong. Most of them have never been to Israel and might accept a brief guided tour in lieu of an immediate deportation and banning from ever getting a visa again Or they can dock in Tel-Aviv, get a little sun, a few drinks, some lunch and UPS the stuff. As long as there's rockets there will be a surcharge for security.
19. Shoot "Home Made" rockets at the boats
Andrew ,   Miami,Fl   (05.27.10)
and call it "The Sderot Experience" - a teaching moment - let them see how they feel - perhaps take a survey
20. Israel is acting like a sovreign state but
american ,   USA   (05.27.10)
they are not .. they are seen by the rest of the world as an occupying colonial force . it is easy to conclude that those actions are coordinated with Egypt and Fatah . very Damaging to the Egyptians . Turkey will seek Diplomatic retaliation .
21. Why is Israel Paying??
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (05.27.10)
Why is Israel Paying the airfare?? http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
22. production
kapriza ,   usa   (05.27.10)
What a Hollywood production! Such a waste of valuable resources - people, time, money.
23. Leftists to swim home!!!
Uzi Morris ,   Holon, Israel   (05.27.10)
Throw terrorism advocates into the middle of Middeterranian & let them swim home drinking sea water!!!
24. Don't bring them to Ashdod
Pheppsie ,   Netanya   (05.27.10)
Sink them--then send out Pollution Control to clean up the mess.
25. Deport Them To Mecca
Dan ,   Titusville, FL   (05.27.10)
26. Fly home at Israel's expense?
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.27.10)
You mean: fly home at your own expense or stay in Hamastan until the hell freezes over?
27. Stopping the Flotilla
LJ ,   USA   (05.27.10)
No military can match the IDF --they are King David Army- Back by the God of the Bible for every. Great work men. Your actions are totally honorable, compassionate and most intelligent. All Christians here in the USA commend you for your ongoing work. You will prevail..I read the end of the story {Bible] and you win! Keep you focus on God alone. Trust Him only and he will delivery all the enemies of the world into your hands.
28. FLY THEM HOME?
earl mann ,   TORONTO, CANADA   (05.27.10)
ARE YOU KIDDING? AT LEAST, IMPOUND THEIR BOATS. THEY ARE ASSETS WHICH CAN BE SOLD.
29. Make them pay for the cost of this operation as well!!!
EST ,   Miami USA   (05.27.10)
Charge them for their tickets home!!! Charge them for the food and beverages they are forcing the state to supply to them. Charge them for medical and immigration services too!!! Let them pay a steep fine for all the balagan they are causing... the morons! If it doesn't cost them they'll feel free to try it again and again! and other groups too. Why take away funds that could better be utilized on those who need services in Israel??? Let these flotilla idiots foot the whole bill!!!
30. Why should I pay for their flight?
conenorm   (05.27.10)
I could understand if Israel would fly the infiltrators to the place their boat left for Gaza, mostly Cyprus. Or let them pay by themselves their flight. The Israelis on the boats should be jailed, they are collaborating with the enemy.
