Hamas has found suicide bleeding hearts, and more wayward youths are being sacrificed for Islamofascism and Barbaric Zenophobia against non-muslims. Down with the false saints!

Here's the deal great humanitarian Government of Ireland you arrange for Gilad Shallit to be returned safe and well to his parents and we will let the Rachel Corrie dock in Gaza. If he has not been returned safe and well by the time the ship reaches Gaza territorial waters we will remove the crew passengers and cargo and sink the ship - so what's it to be?

I love how they provocatively name their ships. But even if you name it "Rachel Corrie adorable blind puppy and kitten transport for peace on earth and goodwill towards men" ship, you still have to go through security inspections before entering Gaza

They wont surrender peacefully as they want to cause as much trouble as possible for world attention. Sickos that they are.

from which you can't extricate yourselves, the only wise course is to stop digging. In Israel, however, they continue to dig hoping to find a 'pot of gold' at the end. If the definition of insanity is..'doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result'..then in Israel insanity is the national disease.

The world is watching your behaviour now... Mr. Obama is a smart guy... he won't stand for piracy & murder in International waters.. We wish all our friends in Israel peace but talk of sinking Irish vessels carrying aid and nobel peace prize winners and UN employees will lead to serious issues for your Country.

I hope that your Nobel peace prize winners will not assault Israeli paratroopers.

Obama can think whatever he wants it's none of his business though. The ship is Irish and it's not like a small unimportant island with a cash flow problem is very threatening. If they don't want to be boarded they can simply turn back to Ireland, if they keep going they'll have no one but themselves to blame.

Israel is illegally occupying Gaza and the West Bank and therefore have no right to stop the aid from coming in. End of story. The international community needs to be sobered to this idea because it's bottom line truth. International law is international law. Israel wants to be about human rights, yeah right.

Irish learn to hate Jews from their earliest years. Another reasons this nation of pedophiles and rampant alcoholism supports the Islamofascists is because the IRA when they were deliberately murdering only civilians got all their training from the PLO . The Irish and the Islamic jihadists are 2 peas in a pod.

Why is it that all camera equipment, & mobile phones were "destroyed" by the IDF and only selective images were released to the media? And also wondering if the paratroopers were travelling on Israeli passports or did they "borrow" some UK or German or Irish passports AGAIN. Nice way to treat your friends... The world is watching now...

Bill you really need to get your facts straight. Ireland has a large Jewish population, my friends and neighbours. There is absolutely no hatred towards the Jewish people and never has been. There is however some sympathy for the civilians of Gaza. I won't even comment on your other comments as they don't deserve it. Utter rubbish

Just wait and see. We might be a small island but the Irish diaspora with a population of 80million plus has influence in many countries. Lets hope this situation can be resolved peacefully soon - it would also be nice to see the Israel - Palestine situation resolved so everyone can live in peace.

Would Turkey let in the Salman Rushdie with aid goods for the Kurds?

Ireland is Israels Enemy they were in cahoots with the terrorist in this flotilla.They are hostile towards Israel and are funding left wing groups in Israel trying to destroy Israel. My advice to the Israeli government if we have a government with any guts left sink the Irish ship. Rachel Corrie was no saint. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com

It may be time for Israel to reconsider the peace process and withdraw from it. If Israel cannot be treated fairly by the world community then there is no point to further negotiations. Past appeasement and weakness by Olmert, Livni, Barak, Peres, and Rabin and others have destroyed our deterrance. Israel must develop a real policy of Mutual Assured Destruction the type of policy the US had during the cold war against any country that would seek to destroy Israel both physically and economically. Normal rules of diplomatic behavior does not seem to work. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com

to Ireland. That'll show 'em.

I hope they serve pancakes at the breakfast buffet.

The man is totally out of place. He has no business being a collaborator in a confrontation that is clearly promoted as "an initiative to break Israel's blockade". One must now see the "initiative" for what it truly is. This now requires that Israel make a direct demand of the Irish PM to stop his interference and to withdraw that request immediately - and to demand also, that the PM insist that the captain and passengers follow the established procedure for discharging cargo and getting it to Gaza. Having entered the fray, it is now his duty to see that the Irish boat abide by the rules of a sovereign nation. Anything less than that is a hostile action against Israel! Let the PM know in no uncertain terms, the consequences of this confrontation. Let him know too, the legal basis on which Israel will act. The man has to be mad or he is a fool!!! And he is a Prime Minister???

First send in the fighters to straff the ship, then gunboats to rake the ship from bow to stern on both sides, shoot at anyone trying to put out the fires and sink any lifeboats they put into the water. Wait a minute, that sounds familiar. http://www.gtr5.com/summary_of_events.htm Remember the Liberty!

Even Hague in the UK advised heavily against the flotilla happening. You have been warned and you see what happens when you attempt to break a legal military blockade. If you continue - the results rest on the hands of the idiotic, self-righteous retards of Ireland. Do the right thing and dock in Ashdod so the people of Gaza can get the items. If not, the ship's purpose is selfish and for an agenda....as always with a Leftist.

So it WAS aptly named after "Rachel Corrie". She was too slow, too.

and we see where it's gotten them in 62 years. A defunct govt and leaders admitting their violence was completely futile and a big mistake. Ooops!

Hamas declared war on Israel and fired weapons onto civilians for 10 years - that's a war crime! Under the laws of war, the same enshrined in US and UK navy manuals, blockades are legal, AND can be enforced on ships intending to break it as far away as when they enter Intl waters. Intl Law does not cover Gaza or WB except that it falls under Israeli jurisdiction after Jordan/Egypt withdrew claims of the territory. The land is "disputed" not "occupied", and only Pals dropping their claims on Israel can they have peace.

I see tons of 10-sec clips come out on Arab TV, and picked up by the likes of Irish media, showing Israelis in a bad light. You've never asked to see the rest of the video for the full picture. Infact, when parts were released, you claimed they were lies and discounted them. Suddenly, you want all the video for the "full picture". Well, it's enough to see IDF soldiers being lynched without their weapons drawn even before the hit the ship's deck. You're a biased skunk, which is underscored by your low-shot claiming Israel forged passports when no proof has been presented yet. I can't believe my ancestors came from Cork! But thank G-d they did....I can see what trash they left behind.
