31. Oh right ,they were in international water
Tomer ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
They are peace activists that went on a fishing trip ,they did not have arms at all ,they worry about human rights the same rights as Gilad Shalit is given in Gaza !
32. eporue #14
Dan   (05.31.10)
I fail see your reply to: Why doesn't High Representative Catherine Ashton demand a full enquiry into the the illegal detaining of Israel's kidnapped soldier, Gilad Shalit, who is also a French citizen? Oh I forgot, you do not really care, do you?
33. כול הכבוד צה"ל
Golan ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (05.31.10)
The 'peace fighters' were warned. They chose to ignore those warnings... They lost their lives... This is the harsh reality of the Palestinian struggle… a self inflicted struggle one might add. It's time for the 'Nation of Palestine' to 'grow up' and take (at least some) responsibility for their future. Armed resistance leads to death and decay of society. Does the 'Nation of Palestine' represent anything else than decay? Why doesn't the world probe that???? Israel will not play game! Is that understood?
34. Dear EU
Mina ,   Haifa   (05.31.10)
1) Ashton - I call for an nquiry into this latest attempt to lynch our brave israeli soldiers, by those false Peace activists, who are conected with wanted terrorists. If you were properly informed, you would have also realised that Israel infact allows into Gaza tones of food & humanitarian aid on daily basis. Furthermore, it also agreed to allow into Gaza the alleged humanitarian aid this ship carried, subject to inspection. However, such an inspection was denied by those so-called peace activists... 2) To the rest of the EU - when will you protest about the fact that Gilad Shalit was kidnapped by Hamas & is not even allowed to have the Red Cross visiting him? When will you protest about the fact that over 8,000 rockets have been launched by Hamas & Co. at Israeli civillians in the few years AFTER Israeli withdrew from Gaza.? When will you protest the spread of Arabs/Muslims radicals & their unacceptable actions? Wake Up Europe!
35. The EU wants Islam to continue the tradition
EU gives $$$$$$$$$$$ ,   to Hamas   (05.31.10)

36. the European Unions corrupt politicians get money from rich
Jean ,   Paris   (05.31.10)

37. to the american talkbacks dont forget who miss usa 2010 is?
Adam ,   The world   (05.31.10)

38. to #3 also to go inside a country without permits
ghostq   (05.31.10)

39. Condemnations instead of conditional remarks spells...
mea   (05.31.10)
..prejudice. Responsible governments and their reps shoukd measure their words, for surely it is highly uncceptable for commandos being lowered down onto the ship to be lynched. If the "peace activists" attacked the people boarding, they are at fault, period. This is especially true when a lynching was taking place. The EU representative's remarks are uncalled for and extreme and biased against Israel. This is not the first flotilla, but it appears to be the first one to attack the Israelis instead of simply simply done the peaceful symbolic gesture of attempting to sail into Gaza. It appears some violence was set to be staged at some point and by the Palestinians.
40. 21#
JAMES ,   LONDON UK   (05.31.10)
You will hear it very often.....eu appeasing the arabs......
41. Israel: The Front Line of Civilization.
The 11th Man ,   London   (05.31.10)
42. wait EU..
devorah   (05.31.10)
until the arab terrrorist will take care of you.
43. Read the link below. If we wanted to attack ...
Arik   (05.31.10)
Make no mistake. If we really wanted to attack it would have been much worse, to all of the boats. If you really think that Israel is to be blamed consider these: The fact that there were clashes only in one boat. Why only one? The fact that there are 6, of our soldiers injured? The fact that ten people dead? If a modern army wants to attack a civilian boat, it would been doomed in less than a minute. And all the passengers were dead long ago. And of course, none of our soldiers would have been injured. Below is an example, of such case, in which a European government decides to attack a boat of peaceful activists: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warriorhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_Rainbow_Warrior
44. What is the difference?

ghostq   (05.31.10)
seems like you r the fake jew cause you hide it so well, I bet you never in your life been to Israel, you know nothing about Israel, and the last time I checked jews were hunted in Europe still. David isn't racist just realistic.
46. EU reaction
Wayne G. ,   Kenosha, WI usa   (05.31.10)
How would an EU nation defend itself? Israel has the right of every nation to defend itself against the forces that would destroy her.
47. Gaza Ship Raid
Shoshana Savyon ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.31.10)
Let's see a list of other countries that would allow ships in over their restrictions
48. Alan Smith

Israel is such one democracy...you see alan.....in the real world of reality facts ia what you need....israel knows more about terrorist orgs than your guardian paper prints......their are no innocent civilians...innocent civilians dont cary weapons alan.

ye ole hater ,   Eglosheim, Ger   (05.31.10)
That's it.
51. InquiSpain
devorah   (05.31.10)
the agenda of the arab terrorist is to take your nation too and you will be in our pants.
52. Dear EU, sort out your own Backyard...
Aaron ,   Australia   (05.31.10)
Please sort out your own backyard and try and avoid blowing up crap like this to avoid dealing with your own failings. It's funny, the EU is rapidly reaching crisis point with regard to the percentage of muslims in the respective member states. It will be reached and breached, probably in northern Europe/Spain, both of which have little tolerance for overbearing ethnic minorities, and which are active in Afghanistan. Greece too may react here, after all, Turkey is involved and the Gov't would LOVE the chance to deflect blame/cure unemployment, mobilization will do that.
53. JAWS not JEWS
Ali ,   South Lebanon   (05.31.10)
Killer Israel has done it again....hoping this time the world would finally put end to your insanity.
54. You would think Spain and Greece
Michael   (05.31.10)
would have more pressing issues like making sure their economies do not collapse. By the way how is the Greek investigation going on the 3 people killed during the rioting? why bother worrying about your own citizens Greece. Sweden have you got any new oil contracts from iran lately?! And Spain how is your credit rating its causing the NYSE a real headache? Well i guess there is nothing more important than to give the europeans a chance to pretend to be holier than thou.
55. Weapons? Oh I'm sure they had weapons. Toys,chocolates...
Peter ,   Vienna-Austria   (05.31.10)
Of course Cement,toys,chocolates,medical supplies and etc are considered weapons by the IDF. They kill people in day light,and even worse,claim they had weapons to justify things. How simple. Not only were they not allowed to enter the ship,because they had nothing to do in Gaza waters,but this act truly shows the nature of israelis. Even monsters have some shame and compassion.
56. Obama screwd Israel&Egypy & now Iran and Turkey Proxy Rule
EU-Asis slaves   (05.31.10)
57. From istanbulTurkiye
Turan ,   istanbul   (05.31.10)

58. To 53.
World Observor. ,   UK   (05.31.10)
Get a life!
59. What a bunch of half-wits
Talula ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
Not ONE person has looked to the actual cause of this. Because if they did, they would see that the Palestinians are effectively to blame. If they had not and were not sending rockets into Israel as soon as the last Jew left Gaza, they'd be on the right track. But they don’t want to deal with that part. The world sees Israel as one who should know better. We are supposed to take the high road and turn our backs on boat loads of unemployed hippies who know nothing about anything? If they managed to scrape the excreta from their eyes, they’d know there is no-one starving in Gaza – they obviously haven’t heard they are smuggling in brand new cars – hardly a commodity for starving people now, is it. Those hippies were provoking the Israel Navy – they even came armed with knives– why isn’t anyone asking them what the hell they thought they were doing. As long as our boys are OK – I couldn’t give a monkey’s ass about the rest of them. They’d all be alive if they hadn’t have interfered.
60. and bibi does the submarine again...
eporue ,   europe   (05.31.10)
hiding out in canada, not going home, not going to obama... he must first wait, what does "afraid" him less... and livni, could one be more foolish(?), does her best to link her name internationally with this crime... while bibi not saying "moo" in canada... my oh my...
