31. Do you feel better now...
Mencken's Ghost ,   Baltimore, USA   (06.03.10)
...after performing that moral chin-up?
32. My Heart Is Closed to The Brotherhood
Sylvia ,   USA   (06.03.10)
I am a Jewish mother with a daughter in the US Army and a son in the IDF Special Forces both fighting that brotherhood of terror . I am "loosing composure" with the brotherhood's so called "non violent means" of action. When was the last time you dodged a bullet or rocket. I will not "suppress my rage". You may have served 30 years ago but now you are now traitor to Isreal. You are the face of cowardiness. Your support of a "coalition of contrast" that were "going to act for freedom" sounds like the terrorist's own "patriotic psychosis". Justice for them was getting Gaza back. Yet they still attack Isreal. Ehud Barak read this and know Isreal is the only free country in the Middle East .Take action for freedom. I support you.
33. I sympathize with the people of Gaza. Free Gaza from Hamas!
Liron ,   zichron   (06.03.10)
Udi, my dear friend. you have it backwards. I suppose you would refuse to have your bags checked at the airport also? How do you know there are no arms on board unless you board the ship and conduct a proper search. You advocate arms to be shipped to Hamas. Good for you. You are not thinking logically. I believe in 2 states, but you are making it more difficult to move forward.
34. The truth about the attack
Israeli   (06.03.10)
as usual Udi I am ashamed you are a fellow jew. One day i hope you would look back and regret betraying your people and all the lies that you spread. for the truth please check this link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kus12PL8htQ
35. Oh my Gosh
nr ,   los angeles, usa   (06.03.10)
Somebody tell this jerk the Emperor has no clothes! Oy, what an idiot.
36. Weapons, and no "humanitarian aid"
Kyle ,   Southpark, CO, USA   (06.03.10)
The ship was full of low-tech weapons that can kill at close range. Also, all of the so-called "humanitarian aid" was just a random bunch of worthless crap and Hamas didn't even want it. That teenager in LA who raised the Israeli flag against the screaming mob, that's a hero! Udi, just like his ugly mama, is washed up and useless.
37. "Euality thing" is very noble Udi Aloni but.....
Sam ,   Canada   (06.03.10)
Those Hamas Jihadis think Islam is the "real deal" and would probably slit those Jewish Israeli throats if they could. Those Gaza "brothers" and "sisters" of yours would probably be handing out candies if they did. Don't mistake the quiet after Hamas was smashed in Gaza for peaceful struggle. It's called recuperation before they resume violence against Israelis. It's missiles and arms Hamas hopes to smuggle into Gaza not chocolates for the children. Hopefully, the actions of the Jewish goody-goodies will not cost Jewish lives.
38. The left is as predictable as it is wrong.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.03.10)
This article is such a lot of delusional nonsense, it's hard to know where to begin. First of all, the flotilla was intended to create another anti-Israel hoax like the "Jenin massacre" hoax. The author was a Jewish dupe who went along with it. I.D.F. videos provide 100% proof that I.D.F. soldiers were met with violence when they boarded the ship, as they had every legal right to. In fact, they had the obligation to stop the hostile ship. Most nations would blow it out of the water. The left is as predictable as it is wrong. Can anyone provide an example of when Israel's left was proven correct on any substantive issue?
39. You Sir Are A Courageous And Honorable Man
World Citizen ,   the world   (06.03.10)
Sometimes when I read the articles and the posts on this site I think that there is not a rational person left living in Israel. So I just want to say thank you for renewing my hope that there still may be a way out of the horrible corner Israel has painted itself into. Truly justice is the only way to true and lasting peace. Best regards.
40. truly pathetical,delusional ravings
ak   (06.03.10)
41. Humanist
Hanan Druker ,   LA   (06.03.10)
You say humanists are left to wonder.... Well, if anything, this doesn't present a very good light on humanism, that they are not able to look at the totality of the situation and see WHY Israel did what it did. In an ideal world, you would not have to do what Israel does. But this is not an ideal world is it? So you have to look at what is the less of two evils.
42. useful idiot
Viktor ,   USA   (06.03.10)
Lenin called people like him "useful idiots", I do not know how terrorists call him, probably, the same.
43. misguided fool
jon ,   wall   (06.03.10)
You sir are a misguided fool. Israel could have waited till they were in international waters, that would have been smarter. They should have also not repelled in with Shayetet. But, they had every right to stop the ship and when they did come aboard, they were attacked by terrorists who planned it well in advance, not some poor people who were surprised and scared. They knew it was coming and were ready. You are a self hating jew and should leave Israel if yu dont know by now, the more you giove the closer you are to your grave.
44. Thank you!
Alain Robert ,   Montreal, Canada   (06.03.10)
Thank you for reminding the rest of the world that not all the citizens of Israel have lost their compassion for the suffering of the Palestinians. I imagine it must not be easy to have these kind of opinions in Israel right now, but we need to hear more from courageous people like you who are ready to go against the flow when a society loose its moral compass. Nobody I know is against the right of Israel to defend itself against real AGGRESSION, but it's very hard to witness everything that is done to the Palestinians in the name of Israel security. Killing innocent Palestinians is now consider ok in the name of Israel security, a Palestinian's life is worth far less than an Israeli's life. And what Israel can't justify and explain to the world is the illegal colonies slowly eating up Palestinian territories all over the place (with the additional fences and private secured roads to reach them). Are they expecting the Palestinians to do nothing and accept this injustice ? It's very difficult to have peace without justice.
45. Typical leftist Slime
Craig ,   USA   (06.03.10)
Nothing new here...not even worth the effort to respond.
46. what a brave man to be able to say that
zackary ,   milwaukee   (06.03.10)
I never heard of you but you are a great man to be able to say the truth also it is unpubular we all have to face the truth and stop lying to ourselves
47. Are firearms the only weapons?
leo ,   usa   (06.03.10)
48. Are suicide bombers the only bombers?
leo ,   usa   (06.03.10)
49. I can read this no more.
leo ,   usa   (06.03.10)
50. these leftists need to be killed!
they are the enemies ,   of israel   (06.03.10)
51. They planned the violence
Ilan ,   Ariel   (06.03.10)
They brought a supply of baseball bats,rods and slingshots with an expressed plan to resist violently to an IDF redirection of the ship to Ashdod. Any reshaping of the facts is resorting to lies and bullshit. We don't expect otherwise from Udi Aloni, the worn didn't crawl far from the rot. But I would have expected more creative lying from him.
52. Devoid of Fact
Salim ,   Michigan, USA   (06.03.10)
What's he smoking? I guess no one told him that Gaza has higher life expectancy and literacy rate than Egypt?! What about sending a flotilla of aid to Cairo?
53. Pathetic
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (06.03.10)
With what you know now, a decent person would admit that it was best not to participate in this mission. How can you lend your person to be a shield to an extreme muslims wanting Israel's destruction ? Would you join in and sing with them "kill the jews" ?
54. Udi Aloni just had his a$$ lambased by 1000+ Israeli TBs
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (06.03.10)
in the Hebrew site. What a damn shame that most of you cannot read how they tore a new one for this deranged moonbat.
55. Our dear Udi Aloni
Islamic Jihad PR ,   Everywhere   (06.03.10)
Thank you for your warm praises of our non-violent struggle. Our innocent martyrs who blew up themselves within shameful Israeli civilians will keep for you several virgins in heaven. Also best regards from IHH, the Turkish flotilla organizers who passionately represent us in Turkey. Sir, with people like you we will peacefully enforce the Sharia law over the globe, like we did in Iran and Gaza. Please allow us to salute you with our flotilla slogan: Khaybar Khaybar ya Yahud, Jaish Muhammad saya'ud. Or an easier alternative for you to understand: Itbach al Yahud. Kama metumtam ben adam mesugal lihiyot?
56. what a load of bull!
Jay3 ,   ISrael   (06.03.10)
Non violent PAlestinian struggle???? Which planet are these moronic Leftists on.

AV ,   london.uk   (06.03.10)
YOU JUST ONE MORE SCUM BAG GO AND LIVE IN GAZA
59. Not sure to hug you or condemn you
Gilad   (06.03.10)
i need to reflect on this article. It makes sense to me as a human being but it deeply troubles me as a patriotic Israeli.
60. The real title of this article
Naor ,   USA   (06.03.10)
The real tile of this article should have been 'A view from an idiot'. Do no call yourself left, you dishonor that political spectrum. You are a radical, no more no less.
