Anton, please make us a detailed essay refuting all the points made by Sarah B. and stating your opinion on the matter. I found her talkback very informative and I agree with her.

How will blocking a flotilla of terrorist supporters from crossing a war-time blockade line aid the building of a PA State? There won't be "Palestinians" on board, so its not like Gazans are tying to get into Gaza using the flotilla. and there is no humanitarian crisis there - which the flotilla uses as premise for this illegal act - so please explain. Personally, I'd love it if PA declared a State because the Right of Return would now be to Ramallah - and Jerusalem would stay united inside Israel. Works for me.

You can either directly support with weapons, training, or money (as Iran does), or you can indirectly support by spending time doing diplomatic work on their behalf, telling the world these terrorists really aren't that bad and those beheadings were just a misunderstanding. or by allowing weapons to flow through your area without impeding them. It's still support no matter how you cut it.

not one person versed in intl maritime law was on the committee. One of them was a women's rights activist, Muslim, from Malaysia. How that gives her credibility to rule in this case is beyond me, but they all agreed to the pre-determined outcome.

One of the biggest mistakes made by Israel was to give back the ship, in a very short time. This time, Israel should keep the Navi Marmara docked until it rust, or at least a year with bureaucratic obstacles (let THEM swet to get it back, for a change). Had Israel done that, there would be no Navi Marmara this year, with its fame as a symbol against us. Of course, even better would be to convert it in a Hospital ship, and send it in humanitarian missions around the world. THAT would strike a blow in all fronts! On the other side, I think the IDF HAS learned the lessons of last year, and will come up with a surprise for those "activists". If they accept ideas, here's one: blast out their propellers and let the drift in the ocean untill towed, but not to Gaza. That way, nobody has to board the ship. Idea # 2: before boarding the ship, let a select group of snipers make target practice with the activists/terrorist on deck, with rubber bullets, for as long as it takes to clear them up. It would be fun to watch!

Turkey, the new super inflated know- it- all power in the Mid East.> After having had a lengthy bloody exposure with Armenia, Cyprus, the Kurds,with tanks, ships, guns, It's FM Ahmet Davutoglu, the new idiot on the stage, is advising Israel to cease and desist and let their own pirates ships pass in order to help those miserable destitute millionaires living the hi-life in Gaza. Are we witnessing another Assad/Kaddafi/nasrallah in the making ?

Your retort contains nothing substantive. You had every opportunity to counter my observations with substantive observations of your own, yet you have chosen not to do so, and I believe I -- and everyone else -- knows precisely why that is the case. Your problem is that you either need to put up, or shut up, if you get my drift. Otherwise, please refrain from taking up space on this forum with your meaningless and worthless non-observations.

Your 4 sentences you wrote are not understood. You are critising Jewish people in a Jewish newspaper all the time with no sense. Let me tell you something Anton, we Jewish people are not perfect but we are not killers like turks that have killed Armenians, Kurds (in the Occupied Kurdish Republic), Greeks and Bulgarian. We do not go on bed with 145 cm creature from the teheran entity (former traffic engineer that suffered a set back from his god ayatolahs). We, Jewish people, want peace but not any any cost. So if you do not get it, do not critisize us. There is one thing that cannot be changed: A Jew will be always a Jew. Leave us alone with your non sense writing

Clever idea, how about you row your canoe over here to help us ? We sure do need your services.

Davutoglu is everyting, except an F,M. Maybe a ( useful idiot),description of a leftist by Lenin !

Don't be a Pollyanna. The only reason Turkey inspected those aircraft is because Israel knew about them, informed the United States, and the United States informed the Turks that either Turkey do it, or the U.S. would, on Turkish soil, under the aegis of NATO. I guess Turkey decided that it was better to show itself as aligned with the West in the war against terror, even at the cost of antagonizing Turkey's Iranian masters. The only other alternative -- having the U.S. do it -- would have been too humiliating. It was not something the Turks did willingly. Stop weapons, indeed! Don't you think we know that Iran uses Turkey as an overland conduit of arms to Syria which find their way to Hezbollah. Do it often enough, and Israel will yank your chain. Bottom line -- don't take credit where none is deserved. Israel has itself to thank for having excellent enough intelligence to know about the arms shipments, and the United States for telling the Turkish government "inspect those airplanes, or else." Just about the last place credit is due is Turkey. By the way -- for you to suggest that Israel supported the Taliban and Al Qaeda is testament to your sheer stupidity and deplorable ignorance. The United States did support the mujahadeen in Afghanistan, but Israel NEVER did!

In the middle east, there isn't so much the idea of peace (more like just people with agendas) and there are no pacifists. This is what I have felt last time from the flotilla. I think that we need to send a few confirmed pacifists over so that people from both sides can have an opportunity to really meet and talk with one.

To Davutoglu ! To cover your incompetence in solving Turkey's international problems you attack. Israel as usual. You can cheat only some of your ignorant. Electorate. You are the worst .F.M. In Turkish history.! Shame on you !

please destroy all the terrorist ships

You will AGAIN be unmasked as the sponsor of these Acts of-War against Israel. This time you won't be getting your ships back except as scrap metal.

The BBC recently made a documentary they cause an organized Muslim response that attacked the TV show. Because even the BBC with a well known bias against Israel. Even they couldn't spin the story to help the Arabs. The video evidence was so overwhelming against the terrorists, that the BBC had to blame the terrorists on the ship. What the UN concluded is irrelevant, they are no different. They have a built in bias. 57 Muslim countries out of 192 member nations of the UN.

do not use comandos this time use torpedos.

Israel has the RIGHT to defend herself. Nobody knows for sure what is on those flotillas and Israel is suppose to let them come into their county!!! Are you kidding me.
