31. Just like facing Nazis? A Greek has no
Vardina   (05.26.10)
right to compare Israelis to Nazis. They assisted Nazis in murdering masses of innocent Jews. Now they take the opportunity again to express their hatred for Jews by helping terrorists against the Jewsih state. Not surprising. Their ships have to be seized.
32. It is the way
Yossef ,   Rehovot, Israel   (05.26.10)
they justify themselves for what they have done and they have been during WWII. They have only this way : "Jews equal nazis and we were right to help sending them into the crematoria". They are just what they are nothing more, nothing less.
33. Israel should understand that...
Y ,   N   (05.26.10)
Gaza draws leftist from all over the globe like flies to shit. The best Israel can do is to leave Gaza and let Hamas continue to kill and opress their own people. Then the world will really see who Hamas is. And Israel will not be in the crossfire as it is now.
34. comparison to WWII: ...with the "berlin airlift"...
eporue ,   europe   (05.26.10)
... did the germans deserve to be supported ? ...to not starve, as their victims ? to not come under stalinist power ? ...it was them, who they elected and supported hitler... whatever the "true" reason behind the airlift was, it helped the people, and meant enormous psychological support to them.
35. Arabs have successfully sold the notion that terrorism is...
Ron B. ,   Lod   (05.26.10)
Arabs have successfully sold the notion that terrorism is ‘resistance to an occupation.’ The Hamas leadership and the Iranian regime are growing closer on all levels. Aid, know-how and equipment are simply flowing in. The threat to the State of Israel is growing exponentially in recent months, Hamas has been making vocal threats of the type heard from Hizbullah chief Hassan Nasrallah prior to that terrorist group’s firing of rockets at Haifa and Hadera from the north, during the Second Lebanon War. “We will strike beyond Ashkelon,” several Hamas leaders have declared at rallies and in Arabic.

36. One key difference
Naor ,   USA   (05.26.10)
Aid given by Greece during WWII was given to the allies to fight the Nazi's, not given to the Palestinians who will have it hijacked by Hamas in order to continue it genocidal jihad against Israel.
37. Their educational systems stink
Rachmiel ,   MechburgUSA   (05.26.10)
"We're helping the Palestinians, just like the Greeks helped during World War II against the Nazis," a Greek activist aboard one of the ships told Ynet Tuesday." When was the last time one of those people experienced Nazi terror? Please someone teach these ignorant people something surrounding the truth. I expect the news services are fueling the fire by providing "history" lessons to these boat schnooks. Allowing the educational institutions that teach these people to put out this caliber of "educated' person is a shame on them and a shame on their honor.
38. Oh just sink the useful idiots...
Dan ,   USA   (05.26.10)
Then they will know what real Nazis would do. If they are going to treat us like Nazis, might as well get the benefits. This would also help global warming, as there would be less hot air blowing around the Mediterranean.
39. website of ship to gaza. anyone care to post opinion there?
zionist ,   usa   (05.26.10)
or many 1,000,000 opinions? wonder if their servers can handle that many comments ;) http://www.facebook.com/pages/Ship-to-Gaza-Ena-ploio-gia-ten-Gaza/112906292058548?v=app_2347471856
40. # 16
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.26.10)
First let the Arabs WIN the war, then we will talk.
41. ISRAEL - A SUCCESS & WINNER - OTHERS RESENT, ENVY THIS
ABRAHAM ben JACOB ,   CANADA   (05.26.10)
ISRAEL HAS BUILT THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAND IN THE MID-EAST AND HAS CAUSED THE DESERT TO BLOOM AND YIELD FOOD. THE ARABS, MUSLIMS, AND OTHERS IN THE REGION NEGLECTED THEIR OWN LAND AND NOW STARE WITH ENVY AND JELOUSY AT THE BEAUTY OF ISRAEL. IT'S ENVY, JELOUSY, HATRED THAT DRIVES OTHERS TO HATE ISRAEL AND IT'S VAST ACCOMPLISHMENTS. ISRAEL'S GREAT SUCCESSES IN ALL AREAS OF ENDEVOURS SHARPLY CONTRASTS TO ALL THE ARAB / MUSLIM FAILURES. ARAB FAILURES IN KEEPING UP TO PROGRESS AND THEIR LOVE OF CONTINUING TO LIVE IN THE DARK PAST HAUNTS THEM. THE MUSLIM, ARAB COUNTRIES HAVE LOST THEIR SENSE OF BEING AND THEIR SUBSEQUENT LOSS OF SELF-ESTEEM AND THEIR LOSS OF PRIDE. THEY ARE LOSERS AND WILL ALWAYS BLAME OTHERS, THE WEST AND OF COURSE ISRAEL FOR THEIR OWN TROUBLES.
42. Gaza siege = Lebanon siege
observer   (05.26.10)
Nasrallah has said: "If you (Israel) put our coasts under siege in any future war, I say all military, civilian and commercial ships will be under the fire of the Islamic resistance fighters,"
43. #42 Says Nasrallah hiding in bunker
Ron ,   US   (05.26.10)
He looks so pale. Hasn't seen the sun in four years. Hezbollah holds Lebanon hostage.
44. I suggest aid convoy from Gaza to help bankrupt Greeks
Alan ,   SA   (05.26.10)
who are pulling the ENTIRE EUROPE into a Financial quagmire. Its not what I say but every serious financial expert
45. Greeks vs Nazis
George ,   Tel Aviv   (05.26.10)
It is right to say that the Greek professor is speaking nonsense. It is wrong, if not stupid, to say that the Greeks were Nazi collaborators. Anyone possessing a minimum knowledge of WWII knows that Greece, unlike most of the other Balkan states were against the Nazis, not with them. 800.000 Greeks died during the occupation of Greece from the Nazis and the resulting famine. The Greeks were also the ones to beat the other fascist state, Moussolini's Italy, against all odds. Keep those things in mind before making hilarious statements
46. To Georges TLV
Yossef ,   Rehovot, Israel   (05.26.10)
The greeks sent trains of jews to the camps. Contrarily for example to Bulgaria which didn't send even one of his jew. The only trains which have crossed Bulgaria for Aushwitz came from Greece. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulgarian_Jews http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_Jews_of_Thessaloniki
47. Activists ?
Serge ,   Antwerp, Belgium   (05.26.10)
How do you call humanitarian activists who are happy when jewish Israeli's are the target of terrorism ?
48. Well the Great Mufti of 48 was a Nazi
(05.26.10)
There is a pic to him with Hitler and he stayed in Berlin during the war cheering him on, and inaugurated a Nazi platoon of Serbian muslims who he hoped would help in the fight of putting the Jews into the Sea in palestine. These are well known records and documented. using Nazi idealogy with the Jews backfires when you know the history. It may be meant as an insult but nothing compares to how the Nazis ruled their dream race or acted towards the "other"
49. Israel is an illegal occupier
Sean ,   Ireland   (05.26.10)
Do not use WW2 as an excuse to imprison an entire nation. Do not shout anti-semite at every voice that disagrees with Israeli policy. This gives an impression of arrogance. The world views Israel as illegal occupier. Until Israel confronts this reality Palestinian "terrorists" will continue to be viewed abroad as freedom fighters.
50. Gaza Aid Flotilla
NooR ,   Victoria, Canada   (05.31.10)
ABJacob, you shame Canada with your ignorance. Study your history back a few hundred years and learn just how wrong you are in these statements. Until you know how the British interfered in the Muslim world you know nothing at all. As for Israel being beautiful, I am sure there are some lovely areas. However, on the whole, most of what I have seen is so destroyed that my first thought is, Oh looks like the Israelis came this way. Like all fools you take things on the surface and have not studied the history of events that have led us all to this point.
51. ah, the Left
fred lapides ,   orange, ct, USA   (07.02.11)
As a retired very lefltist academic, I can see why those on the Right so often sneer at lefty-leaning professors, who miss Marx and so turn their love toward those they believe the "downtrodden" of the world, often, however, ignoring what makes them "downtrodden" or what the "downtrodden" really are after. Hamas was elected democratically. So too was Hitler and his National Socialist Party. One vote one time and the rest is history. Sail on, oh ship of tools...Lucky so many do-gooders have summers free from work in order to show scorn for Israel, a true democracy in that region of the world.
52. Clearly, they are demented
Zionist Seal ,   Israel   (07.20.11)
How dare they compare the peaceful takeover of a ship that was trying to break a declared naval blockade - by lying their way out of port - to Nazi guards! This is almost as pathetic as Hamas protesting Israel stopping the ship - pathetic.
