1.  flotilla invasion
eddie cress ,   south africa   (06.16.10)
Have the previous vessels been returned?, if not let them be used as rams to incapicitate the new attack boats or use it as for some other defensive purpose
2. They will send Toys, is this a joke ?
AlbertoGA ,   St. George, USA   (06.16.10)
Iran is provoking again. Then they will cry the blues. Sad bunch. Sink them first.
3. Absolute provacation and act of War. Disable the ship.
Arul   (06.16.10)
4. THE TURKS ARE KILLING THE KURDS. WHERE IS THE EU, UN
tony   (06.16.10)
The Turks are killing the Kurds and where is the EU, UN and the world medias. If it had been Israel, the EU, UN, and the hypocritical medias would have been screaming and crying, calling for the crucifixion of Israel, and Bibi will begin to panic, rather than being a man. What a wonderful world we are living in?
5. July flotilla
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (06.16.10)
I call on Turkey to provide a full, armed naval escort for the next IHH flotilla. I believe the Zionist regime will think twice or three times before making any attempt to enforce its illegal, immoral blockade under those circumstances.
6. its not rocket science
abraham ,   toronto   (06.16.10)
issue warning to Turkish govt. Then blow a hole in the ship and let them swim to shore. or make a 'work accident' blow a hole in the ship in Turkish waters-let them clean up the garbage !
7. Where is the justice here?
(06.16.10)
8. The turkish occupation
American ,   Los Angeles   (06.16.10)
of Armenian ,and Greek lands and the Armenian Genocide and the killings of the kurds should be the main issues for the UN.Turkey as a state commited crimes against humanity and should be tryed by the international community.
9. How many toys do they need for pete's sake?
The 11th Man ,   London   (06.16.10)
10. A terrorist state of Turkey
American ,   Los Angeles   (06.16.10)
is align with iranian regime and other islamofashist terrorists organizations.Turkey should be held acountable for the Armenian Genocide and etnic clensing of the armenians and the kurds from their homelands.
11. don't let them pass!!!
gerry   (06.16.10)
12. Mine the Harbor
Matt ,   USA   (06.16.10)
Put sea mines all along the Strip. Warn the flotilla if they approach they will be hit by the mines. Not sure how the international law falls on that kind of thing, but it'll be clear the flotilla is putting itself into danger and no Israeli soldiers will be put in harms way.
13. Simple mine the area!
Leah ,   Israel   (06.16.10)
14. What evil people.
noa ,   israel   (06.16.10)
People are being killed and raped again in Darfur, and they could care less.
15. I am reminded
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.16.10)
... of rather a famous comment made by Nikita Khrushchev -- he said that the best way to put an end to loose talk about revolution in Hungary was to go out and shoot a few revolutionaries. The best way to put an end to the blockade running is to blow up a few blockade running vessels. The vessel owners will not be able to collect insurances on the vessel, because it is illegal to attempt to run a lawful blockade. These vessels are not inexpensive. None of these countries really have a taste for conflict with Israel -- they will fade into oblivion. Along with Iran, who is responsible for it all. Israel needs to stand firm and assert its rights of sovereignty. To hell with world opinion. The only thing that will make the international community happy is for Israel to roll over and cease to exist. That isn't going to happen. So their opinions are entirely irrelevant. If they want to lose expensive vessles in the pursuit of a completely spurious cause at the behest of an Islamofascist regime that is poised on the brink of oblivion -- well, we will help them.
16. CLEAR DECLARATION OF WAR!
Philip   (06.16.10)
17. Hypocrites
sm ,   Uk   (06.16.10)
What a pathetic bunch of losers. Ships full of the new 'poster boys' of the Arab world, the Turks barking anti - Israel slogans like crazed hounds and the usual bunch of misguided, ignorant western activists and cowardly European politicians trying to jump on the gravy train. What a distortion of history it's all about delegitimising Israel. and just a prelude to getting weapons to Hamas. These stupid activists would be first in line to be crucified by the Islamo - facists if they lived in Gaza.
18. Humanitarian aid flotilla
R ,   Israel   (06.16.10)
for Gilad Shalit should be launched at the same time. Gilad's situation is more dire than any Palestinian on this planet. Gilad has had no contact with anyone but his terrorist captors for four years. He has no medical access, and from the last clip we saw of him released by Hamas terrorists in September, he looked terribly thin, so we can assume that they are hardly feeding him despite the tons of food that is trucked into Gaza daily. HUMANITARIAN AID FLOTILLA FOR GILAD SHALIT!
19. This time stop them in coastal waters
Danny   (06.16.10)
see if it makes any difference....
20. Mr. PM how's that settlment freez working out for ya?
(06.16.10)
21. Is Turkey going to invade Gaza? Is Turkey going to provide
Bat Zion ,   Centre, Israel   (06.16.10)
for the Gazans from now on?
22. dear Mr. Howitt,
Dana Rothschild ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.16.10)
you say, that "the European Union had an obligation to ensure respect for humanitarian law and access for the next flotilla. "???? what about an obligation to ensure respect for humanitarian law and access to Gilad Shalit??? what about respect for the State of Israel and it's fight against terror?
23. Dummies
sm ,   uk   (06.16.10)
Very few of these wannabe 'shahids' are the real article. The Mustapha's, Abdul's, Ali Baba's and Fatima's just want to return home as 'heroes' and gather in the coffee shops (though Fatima will probably have to wait outside), lap up the admiring glances and get free drinks. Israel doesn't need any lessons from countries that routinely torture their own citizens. They wouldn't dare say boo to a traffic policeman at home. What a bunch of cowards. Their real agenda is quite simply the destruction of Israel which they try to hide behind 'humanitarian aid'.
24. Human rights for Hamas terrorists but not
Vardina   (06.16.10)
for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit? I call all Israelis and Israel supporters to organize a counter flotilla of civil ships to block access to Gaza from the sea. Terrorist supportes should not be allowd to break the blockade. Humanitarian supplies should be transported only from Ashdod under Israeli supervision.
25. to #17
Johnny ,   Nazareth   (06.16.10)
very well spoken! thank you for your understanding the truth! Your a brave man and Europe needs a lot like you! God Bless
26. :: Looks like Israel will have to...
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.16.10)
...behave itself this summer: 1) No building in the Palestinian WB and E Jerusalem. 2) No killing international civilians in International Waters. 3) No major attacks on Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Syria etc.
27. #5 I pray that they listen to you. This will
Vardina   (06.16.10)
provide an excellent reason for blasting off the whole terror flotilla.
28. #19: Smart!!!
Vardina   (06.16.10)
29. #10 The only terrorist state is USA
Izzet ,   Turkey   (06.16.10)
America has used nuclear bomb in the history, killing hundreds of thousands.Killed the natives, killed thousands in Iraq. Look where America is there is only pain and murder !
30. Fine!
