and that's how you pirate a fleet in international waters and terrorize the crew my dear somalis...

this is a new one... i mean what were they thinking... attacking the pirates!!! were is this world going to when crew members on board a fleet attack armed militants boarding the ship in international waters... jesus... i propose somali pirates file a lawsuit against shipping fleets that keep arms on board for protection... this is just not right...

this is another fatal failuire for our great IDF. HOPE Political level handel this issue with wisdome.

My A@@.... The world is sick and tired of your dirty little games...

The TV pictures are very clear when you see them in slow motion. While various "activists" are beating IDF soldiers with large metal bars, you clearly see one of the "peace activists" raise his hand with a large knife and repeatedly stab an IDF soldier. Peaceful resistance? No. Peace activists? Of course not. Turkish supported agitators? Yes, but why is Turkey doing this? Why is Turkey trying to suck up to Hamas and Iran? And how long will the Turkish armed forces sit by while the Islamic extremism in Turkey worsens? That is the key question that comes out of this whole episode.

The thing is, the Israelis are not realizing how ridiculous their analysis look to outsiders! Ynet, are you serious?!!! Anyway, Israel is going down... FAST! Please, just continue what you are doing...

If you come to Israel with a gun in your hand your looking for trouble.If you come in peace you will find peace.Turkey and its organizers are responsible for this uncalled for tragedy.

Maybe this will be a lesson for future wannabe terrorist tourists...

...When the blocade runners attacked the soldiers with knives and clubs, and especially when they were found in possession of firearms. Kinda blows all their LIEberal 'peacemonger' propaganda out of the water.

While this clearly shows an 'activist' attacking a solider I think that if the IDF had sent in their own camera crew (and hopefully they did) they would have even better footage of this.

Is there any reason YNET edited down all the footage to a 2:30 video that distorts what actually happened? I'm sure they could have found hosting for the full video which is well over four times this length.

despite the arab assault on deligitimizing Israel. These tactics will be used against other states. Because at the end of the day israel is a legitimate State like any other. There are many anarchists who see Israel as a test case to see what other states will or will not tolerate. if the E.U. or any other organization/ country decide to display their holier than thou attitude it will just play right into the hands of global anarchists. Countries that support non-citizens/ individual's right to disregard state laws risk opening a pandora's box that will not just affect Israel sovereignity but every states' sovereignity. What will stop 100,000 chinese boating their way to the Philipines? or a 200,000 haitians floating their wat to Miami? The world should tread very carefully.

Israel lead to an unavoidable middle eastern war

what "our" you are talking about?

handle the truth.

The people on the boats were not activists but racists who believe that Jews are subhumans. Soldiers aren't trained to deal with that kind of hatred. Why didn't Israel send the only force who enjoys violence: the YSM. If the racists had attacked YSM stormtroopers with knives and clubs, everything would be different. The YSM would have loved the challenge, easily disarming the racist with a level of non-lethal violence that would leave the racists scared of Israel for life. It seems that someone in the IDF wanted this incident to end badly.

Israel! I woudnt beat yourself up over this,it was a planned confrontation,that could not have been prevented,other than by,a storm or a complete sinking of all vessels concerned.There was a Female MK on Sky News,this morning,who commented that Israel had used the wrong approach,in its use of arms,as this was only a Psychological confontation,and could have been solved using mediation.All violence,is Psychological,but it does not share a common method of diffusing.especially when its a planned attack,on many fronts. kjl.

they wanted to go to gaza, possibly crossing some israeli water... this was enough to die ?

This was the Left's brilliant idea. Thank G-d Barak and Fuad are going to take the heat on this.

they was carry to humanitarian aid not any gun if they were have a gun they was use the guns not stick!!!

This was not enough to die. What it was needed was to attack the soldiers, and if you watch the TV, you can see (btw, filmed by pissnicks, not by IDF) how brutally they were beating IDF soldiers.

don't blame Israel for what you left behind, and just in case you didn't noticed NK SK r also hitting up, also in the Balkan area, sound like you ignor first warning of global political shift by blaming the jews as you Brits always do you ignor the radical communism and Islam that runn amoke throughout the world, I think your country will never learn not untill as aways london will be on fire, once again.

It does not matter what the film shows, or what the facts are, the world will ignore that and blame Israel for everything. Israel will never win, no matter what happens

it's like a green light for for the idf to commit massacres and crimes of war... why would the IDF hide the faces of it's members??? robbers and murderers i understand... but an army?? ... then again there's not much difference obviously...

I'm sorry that brave IDF soldiers were injured in this operation. More force should have been brought to bear earlier and we should never have assumed that this bunch of maritime criminals and anti-semites were going to go about their business peacefully again the IDF didn't respond strongly enough Next time, bomb them out of the water - no harm should come to IDF personnel in any event, well done Israel!!
