1. Israel should MAN-UP
Sheik Rattle & Roll ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Israel should MAN-UP and sink the Iranian ships next time they cross the Suez canal. They should of known that the Iranian vessels where not handing out roses.
2. Turkey, a full NATO member is aiding terrorists
Mikey   (03.15.11)
NATO should double check Turkey, they might be informing Iran. Turkey should be kicked out.
3. Weapons??
Mark ,   USA   (03.15.11)
You must be mistaken..there weren't any weapons on board, just humanitarian aid!
4. Israel steals humanitarian aid
bbc ,   UK   (03.15.11)
Once again, Israel is attempting to starve the poor people of Gaza of their 20 mm zucchinis.
5. weapons seizure
Mark ,   USA   (03.15.11)
I'll bet there are some real disappointed arabs right now. Imagine how much "peace" they could've spread.
6. another peace flotilla
tamir ,   los angeles   (03.15.11)
it still shocks me that there are arab apologists out there that will claim that this seizure is illegal because it was done in international waters and completely ignore the fact that these weapons are completely and utterly illegal and a huge threat to israel's security. Be it illegal weapons or illegal activists who try and break the blockade, the end result should be the same, a first class ticket to the bottom of the meditteranean sea. All of you leftists out there who defend this, how twisted does your view of justice have to be to come up with an excuse? More reason for Israel to ignore the rest of the world and do what is morally and ethically right.
7. Israel can also do this...
Israeli 2   (03.15.11)
1) It can put a stop to all this 2) It can blow up the Iranian government 3) It can defeat the Iranian army, air force and navy 4) It can either destroy or arrest the criminal regime of Iran 5) It can re-establish relations with Iran. The Israelis are very smart and they have many ways. The question is: Do they have the will? Let us see what will happen soon.
8. HOW DARE THEY STEAL PALESTINIAN PROPERTY!!!

9. those weapon were going to lybia to aid
turkman ,   istanbul   (03.15.11)
the rebels against Gaddafi they should released and let go Unless Israel is protecting Gaddafi as every body knows then the thing will backfire
10. #9 Turkeyman
Steve ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Since as you say, "Those weapons were going to Libya" , I would assume then that they were hidden in crates marked lentil beans and cotton because of ahhh, .let's see...?! Does Egypt (Alexandria was the destination according to the captain) ship lentils and cotton to Libya normally. Do they normally ship through Iran, Syria, Beirut and Turkey before delivering the much needed cotton and beans (much needed aid for the rebels). Oh that's right! The beans weren't beans and the cotton didn't look like cotton! Surprise surprise, must have been a mix up at one of the several ports of call and without the captain and crew knowing anything about it (not so sure about that one).
11. Guns from Gideon Levy friends, to kill jews soldiers.
ROSENVALD ,   BRASIL   (03.15.11)
Tsahall: Please,send Gideon Levy to make meluim in Gaza border near the fence. If he whant cross the border to stay whit your falestinians friends forevar,let him go.
12. Farsi manual
observer ,   Egypt   (03.15.11)
although Gazan fighters does not know Farsi, they were trained in the Persian way.
13. since you are turkish
armygirl ,   ca   (03.15.11)
since you are turkish i am not shock that your head is deep in your ASS, trust me my friend we also know your brothers are not smart to choose anything better even if Gaddafi's gone. but sit tide and hige so you can be far from the tzunami coming your direction... hope ynet wont shut me down, i think you need to hear it.
14. #9, sure they were
Mikey   (03.15.11)
And the Turkish flotilla was 'humanitarian' and the Mossad sends vultures and sharks to spy on Egypt and Saudi Arabia. Don't mock people's intelligence, enough with the wonder stories and lies.
15. To #9 Turkman: You seem very confused!
Galilean ,   The Galilee, Israel   (03.15.11)
If the ship was bound for Libya to help the "rebels" as the BBC and SKYNews call them, why wasn't the real cargo listed on the ship's manifest? You only "fiddle" ships' documents to hide an illicit cargo and their is no embargo on weapons to the protesters in Libya! Turkey and its people have turned their backs on an old friend and your Prime Minister is trying to turn you country into an Islamic state. If you can't see that well see an eye specialist but not your PM's friend, President Assad of Syria! Turkey has become a hostile state against Israel and I cannot understand why our Government has not broken off Diplomatic Relations with Turkey and closed Israel's air space to Turkish Airlines as Turkey has done to Israeli aircraft.
16. # 9
Birdi ,   Israel   (03.15.11)
Yeah sure. Stop talking nonsense will you.
17. turkma
jerry   (03.15.11)
gadafi doesn´t need anti ship missiles
18. PROOF POSITIVE
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (03.15.11)
Again Israel proves beyond a shadow of doubt 1) Iranian complicity in Israeli internal affairs and pure arrogant aggression against Israel, an act of war. 2) Hamas was the destination for the weapons, clear proof of their plan to attack Israel. So this changes the picture, with proof of Iranian smuggling all Iranian shipping can be stopped and boarded on International waters, refusal to to and the ships can be sunk at will by Israel. Iran has lost all rights anywhere around Israel. In addition there is nothing Iran can do, without risking Israel leveling their capital. Again we see why Israel must remain the only nuclear power in the region.
19. Another clear israeli violation of international law
christianpalestinian ,   las vegas   (03.15.11)
How is Israel allowed to be the high-seas hijacker within international waters? Maybe these weapons were actually meant for egypt. How does the world allow this nonsense?
20. AN ACT OF WAR. WHERE IS GOLDSTONE?
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.15.11)
21. If weapons owned by Iran or bound for Gaza then is legal
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (03.15.11)
If Syria or Lebanon are willing to claim weapons and bound for Libya then Israel bring the ship to its port could be declared illegal. Its legal to stop Iranian owned weapons being transported to other countries under UN sanction rules or stop weapons bound for Gaza under Int. blockade rules. Israel's spin on this makes it a legal action but later facts may or may not bear that out.
22. Israeli TV: Journalists will be "invited" to se the cargo!
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (03.15.11)
Yes, and which TV station will be interested in showing the footage? Earthquake,Tsunami and radiation in Japan, almost civil war in Libya, riots in Bahrain and the whole Arab world in turmoil and we expect a "pro Israel" report on arms smuggling to Gaza which Prime Minister Cameron, visiting Turkey a few months ago, called a prison camp? Come on, let's be realistic and wait for the international condemnation of our actions on the "open sea"!
23. baidetz and ahskenazi
marcel   (03.15.11)
adnyou wanted to explore peace with syria and returning golan. Syria's hands are red withblood and weapons transfer and would not make peace with israel ever. How could you be so naiive to even explore talks.Are you stupid like gideon levy who never served in combat in the idf, and has no real concept of nazis or arab intentions. So he blames zionism. This is a self hating jew like olmert, like barnea, like livni, like beilin, like burg, oz and avineri whose dreams will never come true.
24. Turkey and IRAN an act of war, where is the UN
carlos ,   San Diego U.S.A.   (03.15.11)
25. #19 christianpalestinian
solomon ,   bklyn   (03.16.11)
The weapons were bound for Egypt just like the cotton was. Right. Egypt has plenty of both, with the weapons thanks to the US.
26. turkman #9 Erdogan did not succeed again
john   (03.16.11)
Your terror supporting p.m must be feeling very sad tonight.
27. Barak
Moshe ,   US   (03.16.11)
is dangerous to Israel. He is an unrealistic dreamer. He may want the best but his opinions and strategies put Israel and Israelis in existential danger. The Iranian ships he called "a cadet's outing" were loaded with weapons for use against Israel. His withdrawal from Lebanon was?- Well look at Lebanon now-loaded with Hezbollah in the government with tens of thousands of missiles pointed at Israel and noone to put a stop to their rearmament. He evicts Jews and stops them from building in Judea & Samaria to fulfill his catered promises to the US and Obama. He is obviously working for the American Administration against Israeli interests. What happens?-MURDER. It is time for him to go, to leave the government-DO NOT RETURN! PLEASE
28. you people are falling for the trick again
turkman ,   istanbul   (03.16.11)
this were intended for the rebels because nobody want to help them turkey has nothing to with it the french found this way easy to help the rebel today Gaddafi threaten to hit france with chemical weapon you shoulld urge your government to release the shipment back to alxendria unless you love Gaddafi
29. What Gaza bound ship? BTW Why english writing on the mortar
talknic ,   Sydney Australia,   (03.16.11)
BTW Why english writing on the mortar if the manuals are in Farsi?
30. 19.
Normal1 ,   Toronto   (03.16.11)
No matter what good Israel does or what bad these terror states do, Israel will always be in the wrong. The sad part is that it will never change and we can't do anything about it. These idiots that are complaining about the breach of Intl. waters are the biggest losers....by saying that, it just makes them look like bigger fools. Israel and the Jews have always survived and will continue to do so.
