uri ,   USA   (11.04.09)
israel must summon the UN security console against Iran & syria
2. Iran/Turkey should seize ships...
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.04.09)
carrying millions of dollars worth of weapons that head from America to Israel. It's only fair if Israel can illegally impose embargos on other countries.
3. Attila and Barak believe the crew
Mo   (11.04.09)
The crew and captain should be summarily executed. Attila, Barak, hey I've got a great deal for you on a bridge in the USA - it's called the Brooklyn Bridge....

reza shah ,   tehran   (11.04.09)
try to divert attention from goldstone report this old fabrication will backfire like the door of garage which was mistaken for missile
8. "The ship was carrying goods to Syria, not Iranian arms"
William ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
So...all of the photos, the witnesses of non-Jewish, non-Israeli crew members, the traced ship manifest that ties this all back to the Iranians....a lie? I have to tell you....that's pretty good to get so many people to be committed to such a large lie. Even getting the Supreme Commander of the IRG to admit several times during interviews over the past 6 months that it is "Iran's duty to arm groups who fight against oppression (aka terrorist scum). The Mossad is an amazing group...to make even our enemies uphold the "lie" for us.
9. Addle - it is part of the UN resolution 701
Eric ,   Tel Aviv   (11.04.09)
Israel is working with the UN forces in South Lebanon to prevent weapons from getting to Hezbollah as per UN Security Council resolution 1701 that ended the last war in Lebanon.
10. Iran couldnt take a ship if they tried
yaweh ,   all   (11.04.09)
LOL! Iran's military is pathetic, they couldnt do anything against a modern navy, this is why they use punk ashed terrorists attacks as their way of attacking. If Iran thought they could attack Jewish ships they would have already done so.
11. To: No. 2
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.04.09)
Weapons shipments to Israel from the United States to Israel are carried aboard U.S. naval vessels. I doubt that Iran or Turkey wishes to tangle with the full faith and credit of the United States Navy, although it is interesting to contemplate all the Iranian and/or Turkish flotsam and jetsam that would pollute the international waterways were they to try. The embargoes against arms shipments to state sponsors of terror and/or terrorist organizations have been spearheaded by the United States and have been endorsed by the United Nations. (See the link provided below). Although United Nations resolutions are not enforceable or legally binding, in practice these seem to work, and where necessary, the responsible nations have vetoed such resolutions: Two for two. Any more pearls of (LOL) wisdom to offer?
12. Israel is not illegaly imposing and embargo
Alan ,   USA   (11.04.09)
Addle, Perhaps you should read the article before commenting. It clearly states "Iran has again proved that it mocks international law and the UN Security Council that forbid it from sending weapons to other countries." It also states that ships are intercepted by other Western Nations as well. Comment based on facts, not on your Anti-Semitic views..
13. Addie
alan ,   texas   (11.04.09)
Addie, you continually expose your ignorance. It appears as if you obtain you information solely from the anti-Semitic Canadian and European media. Are you reading YNet? Are you thinking about what you are reading.? I suggest you travel to israel and spend your first week in Sderot, then check on the freedom with which arabs live in Israel. Then look at the wea;th accumulating in Arab villages in israel. You may learn something, unless you know it all already.
14. I bet the UN share the cost for those weapons
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.04.09)
Good job team :)
15. # 8
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
William you words prove to us all that you are a total idiot. This ship came from IRAN & was on its way to SYRIA when it was intercepted by Israeli naval forces. We now have seen with our own eyes the weapons from 14 containers (out of a total of 400 containers) on the quay of the Israeli port of Ashdod. So dont tell me my eyes lie.
16. To #9
Addle ,   Toronto   (11.04.09)
Nice that you brought up a resolution but what about resolutions Israel hasn't commit to? It goes by UN Resolution 242 calling all territories Israel occupies as illegal and must leave them. Hamas and Hezbollah are doing just that by forcing Israel out of them.
17. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
Oh dear oh dear !! you really have had the wool pulled over your eyes by your pathetic monkey leader.
18. ANOTHER Israeli Movie to Accuse Hezbollah
Paco ,   Canada   (11.04.09)
this is another BS article that doesnt prove anything. Those arms were sent to Syria and Israel has NO right in stopping the ship in international waters. If this is the case, Syria and Iran will stop every U.S. armament shipments to Israel, and Israel will start whinning like a little girl about it as usual. Israel proves again how week she is..
19. To: Birdi at No. 15
Sarah B ,   New York / Saviyon   (11.04.09)
No, no, you are wrong. William was merely replying (rather nicely, I think) to the following quote from an Iranian official contained in the article: "Speaking in Tehran during a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki, Moallem added, "The ship was carrying goods to Syria, not Iranian arms." I think you owe William an apology -- but that, of course, would be entirely up to you ....
20. Our Israeli President has a word for this.
Dan ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
He calls it the "Piss process" we try to reach out and the piss on us. It is time our leaders really gave Goldstone something to write about.
21. PA State in ISRAEL was never an option, just an Arab fantasy
Sam   (11.04.09)
22. You're all mistaken.....
david ,   Hartford USA   (11.04.09)
these arms were destined for dismantling! You know, the religion-of-peace at work to make the planet safer for all. How could anyone think that Iran, presided over by a university professor, would ship arms for any other purpose? I know for a fact that Haniyeh, Mashaal, and Nasrallah have all ordered "The Psychopath's Manual for Arms Dismantling" from Amazon just last week. So let's not make such a fuss over this. It's embarrassing them! (and you know what happens when they get flustered! Blowing themselves up in crowded shopping areas, screaming and ranting like idiots for the western media, etc.)
23. if Israel could only reveal what it knows this ugly
Dan ,   USA   (11.04.09)
anti-Semitic world would shut up. Nah...it would not. They hate us.
24. We knew nothing - honest
The Crew   (11.04.09)
Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a finger in Bibi's eye
25. Wise to tow such a ship into harbor?
Stephen in New York ,   New York   (11.04.09)
Wise to tow such a ship into harbor? Ships are slow-moving ICBMs.
26. And so what? Aren't they entitled to defend themselves? (end
Edithann ,   USA   (11.04.09)
27. 2 & 18 Canada may be in trouble...hmmm
(11.04.09)
28. Wonderful and rewarding job by IDF
Yohannes ,   Israel   (11.04.09)
I am really pleased to hear this great news. It would have been a disaster if it reached where it was intended. Keep it up!!! God bless Israel.
29. Israel should do the honorable thing
Nice bloke ,   Rochdale   (11.04.09)
.....and deliver these weapons to their intended recipients -- Hezbollah. Dropped on them by the IAF, of course.
30. to 18. you drank the islamic-coolaid
