1. Make it sink, as frenchies did for Rainbow Warrior
YOEL   (08.08.08)
No way, they cannot express in the name of freedom and spit on Israel. It's a Hutzpa to say Hamas are great people, just one week after severe clashes with a Fath affiliated clan. Israelis were more human, and helped those fatah gunmen. Shame on those leftists!!
2. human? what about Guilad Shalit?
YOEL   (08.08.08)
3. make sure to protest
ilan ,   ta   (08.08.08)
egypt's inactivity as well. they are holding gaza captive as well, are they not? i want to hear them shout "open the egyptian border!!" but they won't and hence their argument and "protest" is tired and will fade with the last of them.
4. as their hero Arafat used to say
bob ,   potomac md and TA   (08.08.08)
Let them drink the sea water of Gaza-- Ms. Epstein of Missouri--you're an idiot.
5. careful they will make you shaheeds just like they did with
rachel ,   usa   (08.08.08)
Rachel Corey ...
6. you are protecting people who kill homosexuals
rachel ,   usa   (08.08.08)
7. who have no respect for women and kill them for their honor.
rachel ,   usa   (08.08.08)
8. What siege?
Jeffrey ,   Boston   (08.08.08)
There is no siege. I saw pictures of the Hilles clan and they were all fat and had plenty of weapons. Food and guns came from somewhere. Has anyone seen Ismayal Hanniyeh? He's got to be pushing 400 pounds. These leftist buffoons could just as easily enter Gaza through one of hundreds of tunnels that Gazans use for commerce with Egypt. Who needs a boat? And oh yeh, there are no Gaza Palestinians. The people of Gaza are displaced Egyptians. The Arabs of the west bank are Jordanians. I've never seen a country of Palestine on any map in all of recorded human history.
9. Well...they expect a storm in the area.
Reality ,   USA   (08.08.08)
Does the state of Hamastan have a rescue crew? Nah..it is too busy building the explosives in the most densely populated Arab neighborhoods and than firing them at the innocent Israeli civilians.
10. activities=fools
ralph   (08.08.08)
the boat should be taken to furthest port and left there or ship confiscated with passangers let off in gaza and israeli's jailed or right to return to israel revoked for ever. thsy support the enemy and are enemies of peace. no free ride for them. this has gone on for to long.
11. Whaaaaat??? Gaza still occupied?!
Observer   (08.08.08)
If the ship is blocked it will be clear that Gaza is still under occupation.
12. Deranged. send em to live in gaza.
Period   (08.08.08)
13. Totally biased article.
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (08.08.08)
Gaza is "free" to have an Islamofacist terrorist government. It's hamass fault that the situation is dire because it attacks Israel at any opportunity. These idiots are not "peace activists" as they claim. They're terrorist supporters who impede the security of Israel at every opportunity. Hamass actually contributed one of the boats that is invading Israeli waters. Shame on you Ynet for reporting hamass propaganda!
14. "Hedy Epstein" is not a Holocaust Survivor.
Palestiniansareamyth ,   USA   (08.08.08)
It was reported that this woman was actually living in Britain when she claimed to be in a concetration camp. She might not even be a Jew because of her sketchy background. "Hedy" might be a Gentile who married a Jewish man. The anti-Israeli crowd have always lied about Israel and will continue until they're stopped and confronted!
15. Let them in not out
Bernard ,   Brussels   (08.08.08)
If they want so hard to enter Gaza let them in and let them enjoy it for a while. No visa in, no visa out ...Such nice people.
16. Gaza is wide open
(08.08.08)
Israel is allowing humanitarian aid into Gaza while Egyptt is allowing Gaza to get weapons and missile. The only thing these "activists" will archive is a PR meeting with genocidal Hamas.
17. Talking of sinking ships ...
Chanalau, Tova ,   London, UK   (08.08.08)
reminds me of that happy day when Ben Gurion sank that Jewish terror ship, the Altalena. At least BG got one thing right in his life.
18. Perfect training opportunity for the Israeli Navy!
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.08.08)
19. #17. Talking of "pacifists" and "human right fighters"...
The Doc ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.08.08)
Chanalu's reaction just proves that all his/her/its efforts to appear "human" and "pacifist" are nothing more than a smokescreen trying to hide a hideous, racist and barbaric Islamo-Leftist. But what's new? We knew exactly what has been hiding behind that Jewish-sounding alias all along: yet another pathetic brainwashed imbecile.
20. The siege is on Israel, you morons.
Robert ,   USA   (08.08.08)
Motor or sails? How about Alan Dershowitz and Norman Finkelstein on a paddle wheel chasing each other?
21. They are not peace-activists
Gary   (08.08.08)
They are terrorist-helpers. They are devils and i hope they go back home to where they came from in boxes.
22. Huwaida Araf- the annoying American who founded the ISM
Helen   (08.08.08)
I can't stand her, she's got an ego larger than Gaza. For that reason alone, I'd be happy to see the ship get into trouble.
23. Dumb, stupid Americans
marlene ,   Philadelphia, USA   (08.08.08)
If the U.S. of allah had closed its borders a long time ago, this wouldn't be happening. If the US of A continues like this, G-d will, indeed, curse us!
24. Sailing into Gaza
Elaine & Julius Dubi ,   The Villages,Fl, USA   (08.09.08)
When the Palestinians stop throwing rockets into Israelis' civilians homes and when their leaders start taking care of their people so that their "man in the street" is not suffering because of stealing the money that should be used to benefit them instead of using the Israeli's as a scapegoat, then probably the Israeli's will work with them in accordance. As an Israeli Statesman once said "If the Palestinians put down their weapons forever there will be peace. If the Israeli's put down their weapons first there would be NO ISRAEL. Think thatabout that and understand what is really going on.
25. I am confused
Rock_Rega ,   Israel   (08.19.08)
Gaza has a common border with Egypt, fellow Molems and Arabs with not even one Israeli soldier between them. So any so called "blockade" is pure fiction. They should be thankful that our stupid leaders are providing them even today with what little they are getting
26. Sailing for Gaza's freedom
Alfred Inselberg ,   Raanana, Israel   (08.19.08)
An article on this appeared in Haaretz (Aug. 7) writen by Ofri Ilany. There was a large picture of Halper who was referred as an Israeli Professor of Anthropology. It turns out that Halper is not or nor was a professor. I challenged Ilany on it and noticed in your write-up that Halper is no longer called "professor". Halper heads an NGO with non-transparent funding and is connected with other known Israel demonizers. Three articles appeared in Haaretz always referring to "professor" Halper the last one by Amos Harel, their miiltary correspondent. Haaretz has refused to publish a retraction.
