61. Israel does indeed need friends bad
Bill ,   U.S.   (07.03.11)
@46 Yes Israel does need friends, a lot of friends, quick fast and in a hurry. Speaking of Alexander the Great 2,300yrs. ago, you are talking about a whole different ethnic composition of people, Hebrews becoming somewhat multi-ethnic with the conversion of the Roman=Palestinians to the Hebrew faith and a terrible gentrification that didn't work, right up to the destruction of the second Temple, always remember the words Greco-Roman an after effect to the Hebrews and a very bad one.
62. Hopefully, the captain is indicted and kept in jail

67. #44 On Audacity and Greece
Eran ,   Singapore   (07.03.11)
Why do you ask what I do in Singapore. Do you want to be my friend? Are you talking about the Audacity of DOPE? A NON-humanitarian hamas /terrorist flotilla (you know some of the characters participating) promoted by liars who cry wolf when things don't go their way and expect people to emphatize by singing KUMBAYA. Yes "Palestinians" have a country. It is called Jordan. Hebron and jerusalem is the historical homeland of Israel and the Jews. What can you do if the foolish people you try to defend tried to kick the jews from Israel three times since 1947 and cried foul every time their "final solution" did not work. If you love them, tell them to go to Jordan. They will be in peace there. And by the way. I am not Jewish but I love Jews because they are smarter than most people and they are the people of Jesus Christ. Vaya Con Dios my friend. Note; We in Singapore do not drink Singapore Sling. That was a century ago.

Somewhat Impressed ,   Toronto   (07.03.11)
Alexander wasn’t Greek, he was Macedonian, and Greece was subjugated by Macedonia. While I applaud the Greek actions now, we must not forget that the original anti Semitism was a development of Greek Alexandria, and imported into the New Testament. The suffering of Jews for over 2000 years is the consequence of this hatred whose source was commercial competition in Egypt and other Mediterranean centers.
69. Interesting
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.03.11)
Our traveling terrorist supporting fascists are now threatening Greece because they too seem to believe that they are a sovereign country and should enforce their own laws. Tells us how pathetic these mongrel mutts truly are.
70. "Humanitarian Aid for Gazza!!!!!!!!!
Vicky ,   Ashkelon Israel   (07.03.11)
I've yet to see a starving Palestinian, they get their food free courtesy of the United Nations! And those so called Israeli Jews that are taking part they should be tried for treason!

Hellenic Makedonian ,   Hellas   (07.03.11)
Alexander the Great was Greek and Macedonian thats for n# 68 my Slavic friend from Toronto I am sure about my history. Makedonas in Greek means in the language that they spoke (Aeolic Greek,) and not Bulgarian as yours - Tall Greek form the North. Enough said for this, Go read a good old History book . We Greeks support Israel against the Islamofascists and their friends in the Region Stemming form the Levant or the Balkans ( toronto=that is for you, Fyrom has alligned with the Turks) . Toda Roba Long Live Israel and Greece.

JUDAH THE LION   (07.03.11)
Holy Land of Israel already been LIBERATED BY THE JEWS after 2000 years in exile.No such place or address called Palestine.Eat your heart Mr.Graczek.The land of SION IS FOR JUDAH not for Islam
73. #13 Salma
Anadelfos ,   Athens Greece   (07.03.11)
Dear Salma. During 1981 Andreas Papandrew was elected as PM of Greece. He was the father of today's PM and within his antiwest rhetoric he embraced Arafat and his cause. As a result the country became politicaly isolated from the west and lost any kind of support. This is how today's huge state debt started. As a reward at July 7 1988, 3 palestinian terrorists from Abu Nidal Organisation embarked and occupied the passenger ship "City of Poros". They killed 9 passengers (most of them foreign tourists ), causing great damage to greek tourism. After this incident the public opinion became negative toward palestinians and positive towards Israel. Two years later when Kostas Mitsotakis became PM, Greece formaly recognised Israel.Greeks hate nobody and wish prosperity to all the peoples of the world. However you have to realize that what you go trough now ,is the result of lost wars by arabs against Israel. This is how world works ,even if it seems unpleasant. Do you really believe that in case arabs had win, the israelis would have been in better position than you are now? The most probable is that you would have exterminate them all . During 1922 when the greeks lost the war agaist turks in Asia Minor ,800.000 greeks lost their lives. Keep that in mind and dont be ungratefull. If you dont like the conditions there, try Jordan or Egypt, where your brothers live. Thus you will be able to test their will to support you.
74. WHY DOES THE AP LIE?????????
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.03.11)
Leave to the AP to print a false and inaccurate story. From the opening paragraph where it states: "trying to deliver humanitarian aid to the Palestinian territory, officials said Saturday." What's funny with this floptilla the participants and leaders have been very clear about the purpose, to break the Israeli blockade, NOT to deliver "humanitarian aid" to Gaza. So why would the story be written that way? We all know, don't we? The bias of Reuters, the AP, really all the MSM with regards to Israel has become laughable. The news is suppose to inform us, without bias, what's happening in the world. But all the major press corps are so afraid of being banned from Gaza and the West Bank, where so much news comes from, they allow themselves to be blackmailed into printed false stories. Hoping to elicit undeserved sympathy for the Palestinians. We know no crisis exists in Gaza, no aid is needed, and even if aid was needed, there are well established overland routes from Israel and Egypt to deliver any such aid. So really the news should be printing this as a story of radicals trying to break a legal Israeli blockade. Why are groups like the AP afraid to say that? That is the question you should be asking yourself. Why does the AP print a story everybody knows is false, and bias against Israel?
75. Greece arrests
debbie ,   israel   (07.03.11)
TO VICKI, #70: I soooo agree with you. I'll go one step further: Any Israeli on board this flotilla, should be sent, with a one way ticket, to live in Gaza, and not be allowed back into Israel. They are a disgrace, they are ignorant, and they are aiding and abetting a terrorist organization. They take advantage of all the freedom and democracy that Israel offers, and they spit in the country's face; let them try living in Gaza under HAMAS for a few months, and then we'll see how pro-Muslem they are. They are an absolute disgrace to Israel, and to the civilized world.
76. #60 Edithann: How about YOUR $$ for Pakistan?
Tom ,   USA   (07.03.11)
You are an accomplished antisemite, permanent resident on every anti-Israeli thread, so please tell us your opinion on sending money to Pakistan and a host of other hostile countries. How about money to Islamic Brotherhood (Egypt) by your black jesus you worship?
77. #74 They have lobbying groups working to give Israel a bad r
rachel ,   usa   (07.03.11)
reputation . In Cambridge massachussetts , a lobbying compagny called the "Monitor group" a "strategy consulting firm" was caught taking millions from Kaddaffy to give lybia a good reputation . Arab Money talks !
78. to no 73
john Darren ,   cairns-Australia   (07.04.11)
A very good reply to Salma but she always rejects the truth.
79. #77; rachel, NICE PICK UP
Mark from Georgia ,   USA   (07.04.11)
That was a great pick-up on your part, the "Monitor Group" does have a website. Here is the article on that website regarding this issue. The deals they have are with Libya and Jordan. http://www.monitor.com/AboutUs/News/tabid/56/ctl/NewsDetail/mid/653/CID/20110107142655221/CTID/2/L/en-US/Default.aspx Arafat had a PR firm in New York when he was alive, that did a lot of similar work. Every time there was a terrorist attack they issued a fake condolence by Arafat allegedly condemning violence. Yet all the idiots talk about is AIPAC, tunnel visioned fools.
80. #79 yes these are the most dangerous people for Israel ,
rachel ,   usa   (07.04.11)
They are the Trojan horses using influencial people and taking a lot of money to make Arabs look good to westerners . They have to be exposed.
81. Ethiopians are Starving
ambrosine shitrit ,   london uk   (07.05.11)
The flotilla are concerned with a people who are the largest welfare recipients in the world, who receive tons of food and medical supplies week in week out.. So why pick Gaza and not Ethiopia, who are going through the biggest drought in history, where children are dying, and starving? Why not Africa? The flotilla is only concerned it seems with the killing of Jews
