The enemies of Israel will fail miserably. The real human catastrophe is in Congo and Sudan and not in Gaza. Did the security council met when thousands of black people are being killed in Sudan and Congo? How many people are being killed each day in Afghanistan? Go to hell you hypocrites. You provoke Israel and when you're hurt you rush to the security Council. Well done IDF!

...but he can't hide from Obama for long.

Well Salma, look at your own Leaders. Speak for yourself!!!! and I say Leaders purposefully (Abbas + Haniyeh). 1jewish People -1 Country; 1 Palestinian People , 2 countries

I've been an AIPAC member for 10 years, in general could absolutely care less that you killed these lunatics, but just cannot believe how absolutely monumentally stupid this was... these idiots were blatantly looking for publicity to demonize you with and YOU HANDED IT TO THEM ON A SILVER PLATTER. AIPAC doesn't just exist as a "damage control organization" for you to just keep counting on after doing one absurdly stupid thing after another... it's like you're not even trying anymore and I have better things to do and better things to spend my money on for the next few years.

From the folks who brought us 9/11! What ELSE did we expect? My condolences to the families of the dead and injured protectors of freedom in Israel. I believe no nation has ever existed on this planet who has the heart of the world like Eretz Yisroel. People of many nations love Israel deeply. May HaShem stand up and fight for you now.

John are u talking about the Hezbollah people with Canadian Passport? Are u calling that a Very Canadian way? Are u referring to those canadian/hezbollah who came in canada at your expenses for a 2 month vacation in 2006? or are you talking about those hezbollah/canadian that still collect canadian unemployment and welfare, while engaging in guerilla activities against my country Israel? I suggest that you take care of your canadian soldiers in Afganistan that are dying there - I am possitively sure you do NOT even know why - and will take care of our own soldier fighting for your own Canada to stay free of Islamic Fascist.

pressure for war with Iran..

HAVE RESPECT FOR THE CROWN SOVERIGNITY OF ISRAEL. WE ALL WARN OF THIS ON THIS INFITRATION. TURKEY IS THE CAUSE TO SPARK THESE SITUATION. NEVER EVER THINK THAT WE WILL LET THESE ISLAMIST TO ARMTWIST THE HOUSE OF ISRAEL. NEVER !!!!! THERE WAS NO HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA. THE ISLAMIST PLANED ORGANISED AND INVITED THESE CRISIS ! TO THE IDF- I STAND BY YOU- AND BRAVO :-)

Who is hiding and from Obama? Obama better watch it or he will lose all the Jews soon stupid. He has more to lose than anyone dumbbell. Go hide yourself in a hole, you are an embarrassment to society.

If a bunch of activists are sailing from Cuba to the US and when the activists ignore US Naval (or homeland security) warnings to stop, the US naval guards enter the ships and then are attacked by the activists with batons, knives and guns, what is the US going to do? Lets see who will get this right?

BULL as usual from you Observer. Navy commandos wear masks. Believe it or not.

Obama has said himself that he is a muslim.

Buy yourself another flashy car & enjoy driving it !!

Wonderful. Cancellation was the right thing for the most anti Israel President there has been.

Nice that he enjoyed a nice steak with his wife on Friday night in downtown Toronto...is that where he planned this fiasco?

History will remember that after ordering his army to commit a massacres he met the Canadian prime minister. History will remember that great people in great city of Montreal didn't leave this criminal speak in their city. And history will remember that Toronto Maple Leaf -what a shame- gave him a gift of their jersey, insulting all of us by marking number 62, 62 years of blood shed and crimes of the state of Israel.. history will remember

It was a provocation, it was crystal clear and it was written everywhere and no! we needed to fall into the trap! And we killed people when we could avoid it. Let us me tell you brothers : we must stop the blockade. Now ! After it will be another story. But now, it is time to stop the blockade, negotiate the return of Gilad and begin to discuss seriously with Hamas to find a way to live side by side in peace. Not easy, but not impossible either.

running around like chickens with their heads cut off. shameful.

I think the IDF commanders learned some lessons from this. Tear gas and smoke bombs would have maybe saved some lives and some IDF injuries.

Incredible how stupidness has not limit

Although landing on ship from helicopters is pretty damn brave but The way the Israeli Navy handled this situation is very bad. Sending trigger friendly commandos does not help. Can’t you simply tug the boat to Ashdod? or block it by a big destroyer or something? I mean it is very brave what the soldiers have done but only an un experienced idiot will issue an order like that to board a ship with a handful of commandos. These situations need members of riot police with some kind of an artificial bridge that will allow a big number of them to board at once with sniper support jsut in case if poeple with guns show up. A handful of commandos + small ship with 600 hundred people on it = chaos = people die Start building ships with ship boarding bridges this situation will happen again.

Israel conducts a surprise, night-time commando raid in international waters before the ships were anywhere near Gaza's coast. What were they thinking? This is a catastrophe and makes Israel look like a cruel, violent nation.

...in peace" with Hamas, and you have the chutzpah to call US "stupid"? Where were geniuses like you during W.W.II, when we needed you? You could have called for Jews and Nazis to live "side by side in peace", and saved 6 million Jewish lives? Look at the charters of Hamas and every other Arab/Muslim/Palestinian organization/State, and you'll learn that they want no part of any such "side by side in peace" crap. They want Israel/Jews (YOU/ME) dead! So go ahead, Yossef, make "peace" with such people. Just let us know what you'd like written on your tombstone. How about something like "Here lies Yossef, the genius. He and Hamas are finally at peace".

imagine the world hypocritical reaction had Turkey attacked a Jewish boat in international waters and killed 20 Jews and took 100s hostages!

I don't know how you are. But I am an arab jew, half mizrachi half sfaradi, who used to live (in peace) with arabs in Algeria. I want to live in peace here in mideast not in Florida (what's that ? The promised land ? what are you doing there ?) with all my neighbors. You ashkenazi have a real problem with that.

territories by the Zionista. The act of piracy will make it much easier to put the Apartheid regime's officials in the docks at the International Court of Justice. I'm reserving seats.
