Ynet editors, you really should look into this clown who uses other people's names for his own jollies. And to the imposter, GROW UP !!
33. Sarah; post # 30 is, of course, not from me.

I trust that, by now, you know that I'm a bit more 'polished' than the juvenile putz who has taken to using my 'name' for his own cheap thrills. But, just in case, please know that the "real" flyingdoc57 would never disrespect you.

Oh, ixnay on the cafe. We'd go to a bar. Husband? What husband? He's in Guinea-Bissau fixing cleft palates and other facial deformities. What he doesn't know, won't hurt him! (Only kidding. He is REALLY my better half ....)

36. To Sarah B 18: Dont contradict yourself
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (06.22.10)
On previous discussion, you vehemently defended Israel's attack on Egypt in 1956 citing that Egypt was illegally enforcing a blocade on the Tiran Straight, citing that such blocades are against International Maritime Laws....and Israel had every right to launch a war to break that blocade... Now you are switching to a position where blocades are legal and breaking them is illegal Sounds like Israel changes its interpretation of international laws according to its own interest. Watch what you say Sarah...it might come back and bite you...
37. To M Carr 11: FYI on Lebanon
Anonymous ,   TX, USA   (06.22.10)
You seem confused by the mixed messages emanating from Lebanon...don't be, let me explain. 1- Lebanon is officially still in state of war with Israel. 2- Lebanese Laws forbids any Lebanese to go to Israel or Israeli occupied/ controlled territories like Gaza & West Bank. 3- The Flotilla's official request submitted to the Government states that their intent is to go to Cyprus, a trick to get green light to depart. If they had submitted one stating they are going to Israel - The Lebanese Authorities would have prevented their departure and arrested them. 4- Once in Cyprus, it is from there that they intend to head toward Israel, hence the Minister's statement that it is up to Cypriot's government if they wish to allow them to head toward Israel from their territory. 5- Don't be surprised by the lack of enthusiasm from the Minister...I might surprise you by saying that the feeling is shared by most Lebanese. 6- In fact, Hizbullah and his allies are dramatically loosing popularity in Lebanon....Their Losses in 2009 Parliamentary elections as well as in last month's Municipal elections is an undeniable proof of that. Same feeling is also extended toward any Iranian proxy like Hamas 7-With that said, Lots of Lebanese feel sympathy toward the misery of the civilian population in Gaza.

Sorry to disappoint, but you are wrong. (Bet that happens to you a lot.) Egypt blockaded Israel's access to the sea. Israel, at the time, was an internationally recognized nation. Gaza is non-sovereign territory. Oops! You lose! Care to try me again, "Anonymous in Texas?" Right. Didn't think so. Idiot.

Yes, I know. But I was flattered with the fantasy, nonetheless!
41. online incitement to violence
Mirza ,   Londonistan   (06.22.10)
....should not be permitted by the moderators. and ure point is superbly made - to counteract the "israel looks bad month", let's get israel to sink an aid ship.
42. international law
Mirza ,   Londonistan   (06.22.10)
I know next to nothing about international law. In terms of casus belli, the clock did not start with the attempt to run the blockade. Israel gave the Pals a casus belli on many occasions prior to that (continued occupation, cast lead, targeted summary executions and kidnappings). Still on the subject of casus belli, Turkey now has one with Israel, as per maritime law regarding civilian vessels in international waters delivering aid, not to mention the Geneva conventions on human rights which trump the NON-BINDING san remo manual in any case.
43. gaza's status
Mirza ,   Londonistan   (06.22.10)
Agreed that Gaza is non-sovereign territory, in other words, it is occupied by Israel. Therefore, Israel has a legal obligation under Geneva Convention IV to extend full civilian aid to the people of Gaza. If Israel fails to allow medicines, cement and foodstuffs into Gaza for whatever reason, then it is failing in that requisite and others are obliged and indeed legally allowed to fill the gap.
44. Sarah B (#'s 34, 39, 40)...LOL

45. Gaza blockaged
William Fuller ,   Valdosta, Lowndes   (06.23.10)
Alberto, GA, you are not only a fool, but an ignorant tool for religious nuts, both Israeli and Christian fundamentalists. Go join a snake handling church. At least they hurt only themselves.
