There is only ONE country left in the World that actually does what needs to be done. This was not a war crime, it was an act of justice. All other nations in the world have been going from worse to worst since Islam has had a place in our governments. The Jews are not the problem, they are the solution! WAKE UP!

I believe that Israel did the right thing! You can't trust someone who support teror!!! Let us not forget the captured soldger Gilad Shalit!!!! If you play with fire, expect to be burne!!!

What don't you people understand??? They were given multiple warnings that if they continued the IDF would take over their vessels, and they ignored the warning. The IDF takes over and the "peaceful activists" stab and beat the soldiers. You can't deny it - watch the video clips on the news. Stop being hypocrites! Get your facts straight before you criticize Israel.

by hatred, Islamic intolerance, far left naivety, jealousy, etc. Say No to 8 mile wide Israel say yes to Jordan REVERTING to be "palestine"

Israel is playing with fire now after the massacre will not find any one from the liberals of the world to standing of Israel side after the murder with cold blood

directed at them by the "peaceful" passengers on the boats, including the use of firearms, gas and knives. Indeed, reports indicate that some of the passengers attempt to lynch Israeli soldiers. Several Israeli soldiers had to be hospitalized at Tel-Ashomer and Rambam hospitals with major body wounds that they suffered. In the face of this, of course, the soldiers on the boats needed to respond in kind in the process of protecting themselves as part of the obviously legal takeover of the ships that broke international law and refused to heed Israel Defense Forces' (IDF) warnings. Let us hope this will be a signal that provocation doesn't pay, and that a Hebrew soldier will not stand still while being attacked by those aggressively hoping to bring about conflict to the region.

Once again Israel shows how good it is at killing civilians. If the world doesn't know what a terrorist country Israel is they should know now. The wounded IDF thugs had no business being on the boats. Those boats were in international waters so in addition to being an act of government sponsored terror this was also a crime of piracy on the high seas. Israel must pay for this crime at least in the court of public opinion. As a Jew I renounce every one of your horrible actions. You did not do this crime in my name nor in the name of other Jews throughout the world who are fed up with you.

"Sol Greenfeld," what does it mean "my families association with israel" (with 3 spelling errors) and you are in favor of a one state solution? You sound like an Arab pretending to be a Jew.

"Not even the Taliban would kill activists carrying food and supplies to their enemies." Um, the Taliban beheads people, launches mortars and suicide bombers into crowded marketplaces, targets and kills Shia Muslims at prayer....what planet exactly do you live on?

The fact that the activists on board include known terrorists, that they were chanting antisemitic chants and for destruction of Israel along with the fact that it was the activists and not the soldiers who started the violence means nothing

Jesus, what the hell happened here? I hope Israel has clear proof that they were forced into using deadly force. Without that, all the world will see yet more armed Israelis killing the unarmed. Given Israel's reputation, there will be no benefit of the doubt. Israel can either prove its soldiers acted properly. Or be condemned by default. Who allowed this to happen? How could this be botched so badly?

God protect the Israeli soldiers! I am so proud of you, guys ! You make my day despite the fact that I am living in the Islamic Republic of France :)))))))))))

there are 4 soldiers wounded some from gun shots ? i guess its says it all .... and beside can someone answer me one questions : why did they decided to pass thru the sea and no thru the egyption boarder ? i guess we all know the answer.

God rest the souls of the dead

human being than the Israeli top elite army. Wow. I cannot imagine there is people in Israel can do such stupidity and reckless actions. They scream day and night about how the Iranian regime is unpredictable and Tiran, but in reality the horror news are constanly coming from Israeli brutal actions, shooting and killing unarmed activists humanitarian boat ,running over peace activists by bulldozers in West Bank ,shooting and killing Palestinian teens on daily basis trying to sell nuclear weapon to an apartheid regime in South Africa ,Gaza massacre etc…. the list can go on . Israel is a dangerous state for the humanity and must be dealt with as soon as possible before spin out of control. .

That's called deterrence. The whole thing was a set-up, an ambush. They always intended to use violence to create an incident. Now the propaganda machine will go into over-drive, believe me, they wrote the articles last week, it's all coordinated. This was never intended to be a ''peaceful'' delivery of aid, not that aid was needed, that's just a pretext.

no israeli should have even broke a fingernail. they should have approaching the invading ships and open fired without warning and killed all on board and taken the ships to israel.

Is there any reasonable person here? Every country has "red lines" and they never let to others to cross them. Israel did same, legal or not, nothing surprising. Also as well known (by normal IQ ppl) HAMAS IS TERRORIST and should not to be supported. By the way to Mr. David from line 38, belive me even though most of the flotilla morons on those ships are from Turkiye, if Turkiye declare war on Israel, Iran will join probably then Israel will become regional super-wreckage instead of regional super power. But it will never happen. And the ppl, which are shocking by hearing news from Turkish media... What do you think? Turkish media is completely fake? Not that much!!!

FIRST OF ALL, I WANT TO CONGRULATE THOSE BRAVE FLOTILLA PEOPLE. THEY DID GREATLY DEFENSE THEMSELF WITH KIND OF BASEBALL WOODS. WELL, SOME OF THEM KILLED BY COWARD ISRAELI ARMY. ITS OKAY. *** THIS IS A WAR BETWEEN TURKEY & ISRAEL NOW. NO NEED TO TALK AS WAR MONGERS. WE WILL RESPONSE THIS AS THE WAY WE MUST DO ACCORDING TO OUR HONOR. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS. *** ISRAEL WILL FACE THE RESULTS OF THIS COWARD ATTACK. THERE IS NO DOUBT ABOUT THIS. THERE IS NOTHING TO TALK MUCH. IT IS TIME TO SEE HOW TURKISH HONOR ( MY HONOR ) WILL RESPONSE THIS. NO NEED PANIC. THOSE FLOTILLA PEOPLE WERENT ALONE. THEY ARE STILL NOT ALONE. from now on this become our honor fight as Turkish Nation to israel.

Who did they think they were dealing with? Little children? Maybe NOW they will learn and get a 'real job or something.

Australia can no longer support Israel at the UN.

humenitarian than the Israeli elite special force. I cannot imagine there is people in Israel can do such stupidity and reckless actions. They scream day and night about how the Iranian regime is unpredictable and Tiran, but in reality the horror is coming from Israeli brutal actions. shooting on killing unarmed activist humanitarian boat ,running over peace activist by bulldozers in West Bank ,shooting and killing Palestinian teens on daily basis trying to sell nuclear weapon to an apartheid regime in South Africa ,Gaza massacre etc…. the list can go on . Israel is a dangerous state for the humanity must be dealt with as soon as possible before spin out of control. .

The repercussions of this are going to last for a long time. The divestment movement has been strengthened. So has the boycott movement. The international solidity movement will grow in numbers and moral suasion. Add this to Patreus' comment before the US congress that Israeli intransigence is endangering our troops in the region, and you have a recipe for real disaster for Israel. This is piracy and murder in international waters, committed against people bearing aid to the besieged people of Gaza. Committed by the Jewish State of Israel. Israeli supporter's ludicrous claim that criticism of Israel is synonymous with antisemitism has stripped the term of meaning. But the real thing is dangerous, and Israel may well have unleashed a wave of revulsion and hatred that will bring that monster back to life, with unpredictable consequences for Israel. It is a shame that our government is underwriting your crimes. That may end, which might spell the end for Israel.

that was loaded full of explosives that was going to be detonated in or near an Israeli harbor. That made ships suspect. The Gazans have been lobbing explosives in rockets at Israel for five years now, ever since the Israelis pulled out of Gaza. Perhaps Aussies don't mind if foreigners lob rockets at them and blow up their buildings and schools and kill people and terrify children since you think Israel protecting itself from Muslim deceptions is unconscionable. Australia will soon learn about being invaded since its people have been largely disarmed, so Australia is a more inviting target for invasion. The Japanese would have attacked California and the West Coast of the USA in World War II if the citizens had not been armed with guns and rifles in their homes. Australia no longer has that defense and China needs land to expand its ever growing population into. My father was a US Army LIeutenant Colonel in G2 Army Intelligence in the early 1960's and even then shuddered for Australia and said he would not want to live there because it is so close to China. Field Marshall Montgomery of WWII fame had two rules of war. One of them was, "Don't attack China." It is not likely Australia will attack China, but it is very likely China will attack Australia. China now has one of the biggest navies in the world. Visionaries at the Prophecy Club of Toopeka, Kansas, have seen the slaughter of Aussies that is coming. Better arm up and get more like the Israelis if you want to survive.

with protestors, everyone - the activists, the forces and the rest of the world - is expecting some "confrontation"... ok so far. but with 60 wounded and up to 20 dead this was a massacre, not a "confrontation"... this is not acceptable. not to use life ammunition. on the pic, there are dead people in life vests. its a bit hard to explain, why someone determined to fight pretty alone against an army would put on an uncomfortable life vest before committing basically suicide... its said, the forces entered the ship and immediately started firing. this, however, would explain the bodies with life vests... the operation was fully out of proportion. and, as there was no reason to shoot around, wounding 60 people in some minutes, and kill 14 at least, it seems to me, the operation was to be ordered this way... its so astounding, to see so many "supporters" for this attack and how it was carried out. there were so many options, to take over those ships. this was the most violent, brutal, disgusting and condemned one... but you all agree with this ?
