Arrest all the loving Peace Terrorist in exchange of Shalit. A good way to send a message to Gaza. Their is no future for you in the land of Israel.

I will put your comments down to a total ignorance of what is happening in the region. If you do not know what is going on, rather keep your comments to yourself and not put your foot in it!

they had minimal supply, they just want to demonstrate (trust me minimal) to provide supply you need tons and these boats r too small they just want to demonstrate we seen this before a year ago another boat that tryed but failed. there is huge difrenvc ebetween cargo boat and passenger boat and these boats r pasanger boats, from experience, just to to prove it to you the boats from UK to Netherlands r 10 time the size they can carry both including trucks. you realy believe everything extreme lefties say, but you ignor the facts. go check it.

did you inspected the boats yourself? I think either you r naive or never met extreme left winger on their way to demonstration.

unless they got special patent, please focus we r talking about gaza not the WB. there r no setelment in gaza. and Israel provide gaza with humanitarian suply but hamas use it to privat use that you can blame only gazans.

supplies. If it were really about aid, they would have accepted the offer by Israel and Egypt to let the supply in through regular means, but you know as well as i do, that this is not about aid, this is about doing something out of spite.

they love gaza so much, arrange to them a long visit.

You're a hypocrite, that aid should be better for African countries that they need help.

Happy ending for everyone.

First of all, the humanitarian aid from the Free Gaza movement is not being rejected, we, Israel are just making sure it is what they say it is. Next, the "sending wheelchairs" argument is pointless, if you brought wheelchairs to any other country, you would still have to go through customs, you would still have to go through a security check, you can't just yell, "I've got wheelchairs, I'm bringing them to help people" and everyone will just believe you and go out of the way. Plus there are other channels to go through other than running a military blockade to deliver them. #6 just because they said that missile ships are deployed doesn't mean that they will shoot missiles at the boats. #17, Troublemakers for Israel are Hamas's best friends, so you think that if the boats have people that are going to cause Israel problems by bringing in dangerous supplies that Hamas will just arrest them? #28, the Israeli Navy is showing a strong force to show that they can't just break into Gaza, that if one ship did manage to break the blockade that other people with 100% intention to smuggle in weapons by sea would begin to do so.

And you are SO SURE that they ARE armed eh, how's that then? This has all been hyped up for the consumption of people just like you and you are lapping it up...

to feed/supply the population there, according to the UN. and why are spices, herbs, chocolate, conditioner not permitted ?

The bottom line is what they are doing is against international law. Hamas is defined by the EU, Israel, Japan, Canada, USA, UK and Australia as a terrorist organization. You are not allowed to make transfers to a terrorist organization or the area they control without a going through designated sources of aid. Free Gaza isn't one of those, and through the Gaza port with unauthorized civilian transports isn't one of the routes to do it.
Had they gone through the appropriate channels, that would have been fine, but as I said, the bottom line is they are breaking not only the law in Israel, but International Law as well.

For those people who say they aren't violating Israeli waters and are going only through Gaza waters, Gaza isn't a sovereign state. The definition of a sovereign state is: a geographical area and population which is not dependent or subject to any other power or state. The Hamas organization is completely funded by foreign aid and "donations" by other Arab states. And next it is subject and dependent to Israel and Egypt. Furthermore, Palestine is not declared a sovereign state by the UN with no agreed upon borders, government, constitution, monetary system.

Salma, You always seemed to be a Fatah lackey but now you are supporting Hamas? It is good for us because the more Hamas rules you, the more you guys suffer. In fact, if it was up to me, I would stop IDF operations that keep Haniyeh and Abbas in power and let Hamas take care of them.

sorry for the typo, my bad, me not so good with arithmetic

Jacob, Israel is dependant on $3 billion of US aid every year, plus a neverending amount of euros from Germany-"a geographical area and population which is not dependent or subject to any other power or state." Oh, and Israel does not have any "agreed upon" borders yet, does it Jacob Ben-Erikson? Israel a sovereign state-baloney!

its in fact even LESS than 1/4 of the needed goods, is permitted into gaza !

Courtesy of Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on Thursday Israel will again be the target of a jihadist-leftist propaganda assault. A flotilla of nine ships which set sail for Gaza from Cyprus earlier this week is scheduled to arrive at our doorstep. The expressed aim of the flotilla's organizers is to unlawfully provide aid and comfort to Hamas - an illegal terrorist organization. Since it seized power in Gaza three years ago, Hamas, which is openly committed to the genocide of world Jewry and the physical eradication of Israel, has transformed the Gaza Strip into a hub of the global jihad. It has been illegally holding hostage Gilad Schalit incommunicado for four years. And it is continuously engaged in a massive, Iranian-financed arms buildup ahead of its next assault. Beyond providing aid to Hamas, the declared aim of the "Free Gaza" movement is to coerce Israel into providing Hamas with an outlet to the sea. This too is in contravention of international law which expressly prohibits states and non-state actors from providing any support to terrorist organizations. IN SENDING out the latest group of ships, Turkey and its Irish, Greek and Swedish partners seek to appropriate the imagery of the Jewish pre-statehood struggle for independence from Britain. In a bid to appease Hamas's jihadist precursors, in 1939 Britain's Mandatory authorities broke international law and prohibited Jewish immigration to Mandatory Palestine. The League of Nations' letter of mandate for Britain specifically enjoined the British to facilitate Jewish immigration to the land of Israel. Yet following the Arab terror war from 1936-1939, the British issued the White Paper that all but prohibited Jewish immigration. This move blocked the one place on Earth where European Jews were wanted from accepting them and so trapped 6 million Jews in Hitler's Europe. In the aftermath of the war, the British maintained their prohibition on Jewish immigration. To fight this British policy, the Zionist leadership in pre-state Israel organized the Aliya Bet program of illegal immigration. Jewish agents scoured the world for ships large enough to bring Europe's Jewish refugees to the land of Israel. The ship most emblematic of the era was the Exodus. The Exodus which set sail from France in July 1947 with 4,515 Jewish Holocaust survivors on board was the Zionist response to a new British policy to force illegal immigrant ships to return to Europe. The British rammed the Exodus in Haifa. They boarded and killed three Jewish defenders. They then forced its passengers to board British prison ships that would return them to Europe. French authorities denied the ships the right to land in France, so the British sailed on to Hamburg, Germany, where the refugees were forced to disembark. The international outcry against Britain in the wake of the Exodus affair shamed London into cancelling its new policy. It also paved the way for Israel's independence 10 months later. Now the Turkish, Greek, Swedish and Irish governments are colluding with Hamas to purloin the imagery of the Exodus and the heroism of the Jewish people in the years leading up to statehood and project that imagery onto a terrorist organization that seeks to complete Hitler's work. They further seek to invert reality by portraying Israel, which in accordance with international law is trying to contain and defeat Hamas, as a combination of the German Nazis and the British imperialists. SO FAR, they are getting away with it. So far, for their efforts on behalf of a genocidal terrorist organization Erdogan and his ilk are being extolled as human rights champions. Barring any unexpected events, Israel will suffer yet another public relations disaster on Thursday when the ships approach Gaza.

Since, the neo-Othoman Turkik rulers are meddling in other people's affairs, then they should expect the same. I suggest that the State of Israel sponsors or leads a Humanitarian convoy that will establish a de facto corridor, to the embattled Kurdish freedom fighters!!!

Any passengers who have 1) Married minors 2) Married family members 3) Known terrorist affiliations MAY NOT LEAVE THE SHIPS !!!!!!!!!!!! Then Israel will only have to deal with the other 5%.

Sir, thank you very much for your clear and historically accurate post. In this hard times for the Jews in the Galuth and for Eretz Israel too, your post is like a hope that, may be , may be, the non-jewish people will understant one day the malice and evil of the Terrorist Organizarions. I was a witness of the venomous and murderous acts of the Islamic Terrorism here in Buenos Aires, when a lot of innocent civilian people was murdered and maimed, among them Jews, Christians and Muslims. G-d willing the sane people of the world will awake of the evil. But unfortunately, when the bloodshed is Jew, it is very "cheap" for the world. Once again thank you, Hashem bless you. AM ISRAEL CHAI

Just search for Gaza on google images and then re-think on the flotilla issue.

The siege is obviously offensive to almost all of the world. To those with brains, it clearly doesn't work. This article, while in English, is unbelievable to anyone who isn't part of the Israeli paranoia crowd. How in the world did we get to the point where an argument that "if a humanitarian aid boat goes through, then Hamas can receive money and weapons from Iran" is viable. No one believes that stuff except those in this country that want to. Get a grip! Turkey is not "hostile". The West IS covering the story. The ship is HUMANITARIAN and not an enemy? We're sending anti-terrorist forces and missile boats to intercept these cruise ships? What have Jews become!

This guy suggests Israel establish a corridor to the Kurds, whom he calls freedom fighters (they are, just like Hamas, btw). He's trying to be smart. The thing is, there is already a corridor to the Kurds, it's called the US military. They fly f-16 cover for them while funding their operations already.

I agree with your post with one exception. I refuse the statement of "What have Jews become!". Many jews do not associate themselves with what the ISRAELI government has been doing. Not in my name.....No matter what the out come of the next 24 hours between the Israeli Military Vs. Civilian on the Flotilla, one thing this oreal has proven is the Israeli Goverment is acting like fools. The mission has been a successful PR in the face of the stupids in the government.

you stop lying like a drunken sailor. go laugh with your whoremama Ynet, please block this impostor from posting anything else.

Isreal is led by bunch of fools and stupid if they do not allow the Flotilla into Gaz. You already lost the PR War..Fools.

you say that your location is israel. but there is no israel. thats a turkish land.
