61. do not boycott Naples
Bluegrass Picker ,   Afula   (10.08.12)
Only this city mayor, Luigi de Magistris, should be subject to closer attention. He is supporting the delivery of rocket parts to an organization which will use them to commit terrorism against US citizens. As such he can be LAWFULLY EXCLUDED from entry to the USA. Write to: His Excellency David Thorne, US Ambassador to Italy, PSC 59 Box 100, FPO AE 09624 USA.
62. Charles, a knot is a nautical mile...

As such, it's a unit of distance AND a unit of speed. That doesn't change the fact that in the fall, when winds in the Med are high, you expect people to believe that the Estelle will sail at the speed of a normal walk? Lots of luck on that one. For a sailing ship, 3.5 knotsper hour is practically standing still. Ask anyone who knows about sailing on the wind. Do you know how little 300 cubic meters is for cargo? Hopefully, if they have any humanitarian goods on board at all, they won't be rocks, which is about the only thing the Estelle could cary in any quantity.
63. 58 , take a look at the video !

You will see that the ship is loaded . If i have to choose between your stupidities , and what is written on this website , i will not choose the lies you tell . This ship has two holds , if you continue to deny it , it's "vayiftach Hashem' et pi ha'aton" . You said that this ship has no IMO , it has , that this ship has no holds , it has . This ship has carried materials to and from Angola . Become a Mensch , don't stay an "auswurf" , and admit your stupidities .

The flag , her "nationality" , is always at the BACK of a ship , not at a mast . And we don't see the back . Again your stupidity to try to convince people who know something . Your ignorance has no limits , exeeds all the human boundaries . Enough time wasted with a "rejection of humanity"

A knot is a measure of speed . Never heard a distance expressed in knots , but "this ship is sailing at x knots" . This ship , a sailing boat , does not sail directly from Napoli to gaza , it should need always wind in her back to do so . Does the wind always come in the good direction , in the back ? No . 300 cubic metres is not much for a cargo , i know . But this ship is more a poliitical one . If this ship can carry rocks in any quantity , as you stated , it can certainly carry a quantity of [ not needed in gaza ] humanitarian aid . You know , 10 cubic metres of medecines is already a vast quantity [ if they carry it ]

67. your comment shows utmost ignorance of facts on the ground
martin ,   uk   (10.08.12)
68. Flotilla
Jane ,   Jerusalem Israel   (10.08.12)
If Gaza is so in need of supplies why are they exporting food and furniture to the West Bank and what are the 600 millionairs, in Gaza, doing with their money. look up Gaza millionairs on the internet
69. Erdogen's folly cost 9 violent turks their lives
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.09.12)
and he now insists on Israel's apology for his idiocy and insane decision to break international law by sending a ship of armed terrorists to break the law. His 'IHH' paid in advance thugs got what they richly deserved. It is Erdogen who should be sued and jailed for being a criminal.
70. # 50 Give 'em hell Sarah B.
big bad Jew   (10.09.12)
Your knowledge of maritime vessels is quite impressive. Looks like old Charlie can't find his balls with both hands. Bravo!
71. Where's Pamela Geller?
Big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.09.12)
She or others should post ads in every subway, airport, naval port and bus stations explaining why these blockade busting illegals and their ridiculous publicity seeking idiots continue to act like drunken college kids on a dare. Where do I contribute my $$ for the cause?? Hope they sink this pleasure ship and her passengers still in it.
72. # 61 Thanks for the heads up.
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.09.12)
73. 70 , you fit well together : the bad and the rejection
