1. now the brotherhood can distribute all the weapons
Jerome ,   Basalt, Colorado   (04.04.13)
to hamas themselves
2. Iran & N Korea
Norbus ,   JERUSALEM   (04.04.13)
Clearly enjoy disrupting USA allies in the far and middle east. Taking both out will help stability and peace in both regions, but Obama is not the man with the balls to do it. Talk comes cheap to him. He promised Israel a US troop physical presence at Philadelphi corridor to stop GAZA rearming.. Well talk comes cheap to Obama
3. Let's not jump to rash conclusions
Avi   (04.04.13)
Someone finds a few guns on a boat and everyone just assumes the worst. How would you like it if everyone judged YOU based on superficial appearances? Puts it in perspective, which is needed here.
4. Sailing from Eilat?! With AK-47 assault rifles?!
Yael Schlichting ,   currently Munich   (04.04.13)

I'm no math genius but, 62,283 firearms are a bit more than a few. I'm glad you are not making the defensive decisions for Israel.
6. And what if...
Cisco ,   France   (04.04.13)
I know it can sound really weird... But what if all this show was a smokescreen. The Egyptians are showing to the world how bad are the Iranians but in the backdoor...MB & Tehran work hand in hand. And the weapons will reach their final destination: Gaza strip!
7. This is how it really went down...
BG ,   Israel   (04.04.13)
The mossad or IDF located and identified the ship and its purpose. They caused the mechanical failure. They then contacted the Egyptians and said go get you will look good to the Americans and if we do it there will be blood shed.
8. Where The Condomnation From moon?
(04.04.13)
eu, and All The Worlds Do Gooder's? More Proof That the persian arabs Are Fomenting The Region And Messing Around in the internal affairs of So-Called sovereign nations ie... syria and lebanon! EXPELL iran From u.n. And Punish the ILLEGAL regime in tehran For All Ill's in Region and korean peninsula!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The World Will A Much Nicer Place Without the little bearded monkey and his ayatollah Cockamamie!
9. Send arms to Syrian Rebels
SE ,   Boston, USA   (04.04.13)
The best use of the arms would be to send it to the Syrian Rebels fighting Assad, as long as the rebels are not Muslim radicals.
10. #3 you mean ali?
(04.04.13)
Nice try you dondullah, 62,000 guns, rpg's and everything else Confiscated is Of Great Concern! Mind your own business Gochba!
11. Probably Arms For Hez or Hamas
Noah Lev ,   LosangelesUSA   (04.04.13)
Eilat? More like the Jordanian port. Come on, what would a Togo ship, with Iranian arms, being doing in Eilat? Another fable from the 40 thieves (Arabian Nights), 60,000 is not choped liver. Iran will deny any involvement, blaming the Jews for a conspiracy to overthrow an African nation, and set up a Zionist enclave. Okay,so what to do with the arms? Will the MB distribute them to thearmy,or to Hamas or Hez to kill more Jews effectively with? Only time will tell.

62,283 firearms is hardly a few.
13. 5, 10, 12 - Guns don't kill people
Avi   (04.04.13)
People kill people. Those guns won't shoot by themselves.
14. Avi # 13
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (04.05.13)
What does that have to do with anything? Did anyone here say the guns would shoot themselves? Congratulations for figuring that out. Your smarter than I thought.
15. Just a Scam
Tony ,   USA   (04.04.13)
That ship needs to explode before those weapons reach gaza.
16. To: No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.05.13)
Hey, Ali, did you actually think that those guns would be used to plant flowers out of the barrels? You are far dumber than I thought -- and that's saying something. Your good buds in Hamas are standing in a corner, kicking themselves and cursing their lousy fate. I think you should join them.
17. Mystery?
Get Real ,   UK   (04.05.13)
Would not expect any Israeli involvement in shipping arms here,for they would have ensured vessel was seaworthy first .More likely Iranian arms for the usual suspects.
18. Eliat
Jerzy ,   Oz   (04.06.13)
The ship sailed from Eliat, the weapons are being exported from Isreal
