1. THE JIG IS UP
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (10.21.10)
So to quote the article: "the humanitarian aid on board includes 100 vehicles carrying 500 tons of food and medical supplies." Presumably that means they offloaded the supplies to be delivered overland in the 100 vehicles, to the the Egyptian blockade gate at Rafah. Which the Egyptians control and work with Israel to enforce the blockade of Gaza. In addition, this means we probably won't know whether the "aid" is really necessary? Remember last time most of the medicine was outdated and the updated medical equipment Gaza wanted wasn't included. Add to that, we all know now there is no need for food since the pictures of the well stocked food courts and markets came out, showing the world there is no food shortages. Remember there has never been a single death in Gaza due to starvation. Whenever pictures come out of Gaza a close look reveals a well fed and dressed population. Just like any middle class family in the U.S.. Now for a long time...at least the last two years it has been reported that Hamas confiscates 60% of all the fuel shipments from Israel. So there has never really been a fuel shortage either. Just staged fueled shortages by Hamas to create bad PR to vilify Israel. So when you hear a story about no fuel for the hospitals, you know it's BS. If Hamas didn't steal 60% of the fuel shipments, there would be no Generator shut downs. But hey, it plays well the in the Western Media, to vilify Israel and foster the false David vs Goliath myth of a Arab struggle against Israel, what laughable nonsense!
2. How are "100 vehicles carrying 500 tons of.." getting to Gaz
rebecca ,   Modiin   (10.21.10)
How do they plan to get "100 vehicles carrying 500 tons of." stuff into Gaza if not via a proper port? There is no harbor in Gaza that can unload this sort of thing. They thinking of floating it onto the beaches?
3. Israel must learn from Egypt!
Ben ,   Tel Aviv   (10.21.10)
Wished that Israel would act like the Egyptian. Don't care about anyone. They do what they need to do. Liberman, lead they way PLEASE!!
4. Let us hope this is the first step towards the...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.21.10)
...integration of Gaza into Egypt as was assumed by UN Security Council Resolution 242 but was never implemented, for the benefits of all...!!
5. very well out, Mark from Georgia!
sleepless   (10.21.10)
Slowly slowly the truth seeps out and the biggest propaganda machine ever will be dissected part by part. Egypt should donate it all to Sudan or some place where real kids are really starving and unable to get any mecial care at all- that is if the food and medications are not outdated !!!
6. Gaza flotilla
Ger ,   Raanana, Israel`   (10.21.10)
When the participants reach Ashdod, their passports should be stamped with an Israel entry. Then the participants would not be allowed to enter Arab countries until they applied for and received new passports. Make it a little tough on them.
7. no.2
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.21.10)
These vehicles,not all of them, wil be driven into Hamastan though the Haniyeh/Mashaal/Al Zahar tunnel system where they will be subjected to high Islamic taxes ,courtesy of the Hamastan car dealers who also want some good old Muslim traditional baksheesh after they,ve paid their baksheesh to the Egyptian corruption at El Arish and a few of these vehicles have mysteriously vanished .
8. George Galloway
hebrew prophet ,   israel   (10.21.10)
Garrulous George won,t be onboard this latest Islamic aid flotilla due to his past shennanigans in Egypt ,so maybe one can find him at his local pub ,looking for his next tipple ?
9. Declartion of war
Ezra ,   Florida   (10.21.10)
This is a declaration of war on Israel. This ship with all its "civilians" must be SANK as soon as the terrorists on board refuse to abide by the Israeli nasvy. Let the world BARK as much as it wants, later. Anyhow it s going to bark endlessly as long as Israel exists.
10. #8
Hal ,   Usa   (10.21.10)
They should donate Galloway to a soccer brawl.
11. #9 Declaration of War
(10.21.10)
and Ezra... Israel will exist forever. With the terrible noise the world barking is going to make, we should all be given for free strong plugs for our ears. But I say, let the idiots BARK. Galloway (the nincompoop) can stay in the pubs and drink his Beers until he no longer exists!
12. Since The Entire Darn Fleet and Get ON With It
Dav Lev ,   Burbank CAUSA   (10.21.10)
Make me the P.M. or Defense mInister of Israel and that flotilla will have not have a ...chance in hell of reaching Gaza. 22 Israeli warships should embark and surrounjd this entire flottila, and using their torpedoes, since the whole darn fleet. They are trying to break the blockade and create an incident. Israel arrests seamen for stealing a few computers..(1st flotilla) yet allows these people to go home free. Something is remiss with Israel's thinking. Again, it is racting. Just sink the Bismark like fleet..no sympathy or mercy. Let the sharks have a feast. Like the Wall, Cast Lead and the 240 homes, Israel seems confused, perplexed and indecisive.
13. re; declaration of war
rahul ,   london uk   (10.21.10)
its reached Gaza, does that mean you have lost the war and will return to the 1948 borders?
14. ISRAEL-EGYPT PEACE TREATY
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (10.21.10)
Article3,para.2: "Each Party undertakes to ensure that acts or threats of belligerency, hostility, or violence do not originate from and are not committed from within its territory, or by any forces subject to its control or by any other forces stationed on its territory , against the population, citizens or property of the other Party. Each Party also undertakes to refrain from organizing, instigating, inciting, assisting or participating in acts or threats of belligerency, hostility, subversion or violence against the other Party, anywhere, and undertakes to ensure that perpetrators of such acts are brought to justice." That's the Egyptian governments obligation towards Israel and it should be held to it. If it will not,the treaty's a dead letter. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
15. Look Who's At It Again
Brazen   (10.21.10)
when will you people learn? If You Play With FIRE YOU will get burned. However this time you might get asses blown right out of the water, it it will be well deserved !!!
16. # 13
Birdi ,   Israel   (10.21.10)
Egypt is not Gaza.
17. The jig is up - Mark you hit it bang on the nose, mate.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (10.21.10)
