1. Amazing how quickly they got this protest together.

2. Israel should go the Hague!
Eli ,   Delmar, NY   (05.31.10)
An actual court will have standards of evidence and presumptions of innocence, unlike the hordes of Israel-haters and anti-Semites who think they can manufacture a criminal conviction on nothing more than their own hatred.
3. Israel fights her own battles and WINS! France resents this.
Chaim ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
Q: How many French soldiers does it take to defend Paris? A: Nobody knows. It's never been tried. It's a joke, of course, but it has a rather large kernel of truth. France is expert at submitting to tyranny. France was engulfed by the Nazis in a mere two weeks. We Jews held off the Nazis much longer in the Warsaw Ghetto. If not for the efforts of millions of U.S. soldiers, only German would be spoken in France now. Today France is rapidly submitting to Radical Islam, just as it submitted to Hitler. No wonder France resents Israel. Israel fights her own battles and WINS them!
4. Enough evidence to try Turkey in court
William ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
5. #2 can't wait for contents of ships to be known
William ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
I have a feeling the Turkish ship in particular was hiding something "interesting" from their "human rights" friends from the North.
6. Islamic Youths in Europe
Werner ,   Graz, Austria   (05.31.10)
There is no easier thing in a large european city, than to gather several thousand immigrand youths on the streets, while the broad public remains silent and is afraid of the things to come .... Those gatherings aren't a sign of european anger towards israel, but of the growing influence and strength of the islamic extremists in europe.
7. and they are all arabic speakers
JO   (05.31.10)
Paris has a huge community of Arabs - all very anti Israel.
8. stupid decision, bad consequenses
azmus ,   SAn Francisco   (05.31.10)
IDF is really moron, there is hundreds of other ways to stop the ships and they choose the most damaging solution. They knew that it was provocation, still they went like fools to stop the ship, what were they expecting when they storm the ship with angry protesters, warm welcome with flowers, or cheerful greetings, of course they were expected to resist. Israel can give all the excuses in the world but their stupidity is undeniable. At the end they got more hostile nations against Israel, good pr for Hamas, and the world become more dangerous for Jews. Job well done IDF!
9. Tomorrow demonstration in front of Turkish Embassy ->
The Doc ,   Travelling in the US   (05.31.10)
-> in Tel Aviv! Bring plenty of Tomatoes and worn (preferably stinking) shoes! I won't be there because I am travelling in the US now, but my friends will be. I will participate howver in a demonstration against Turkey in Washington DC. The Jews all over the world should show their anger against terror and their supporters! Let's show the Turkish Jihadist government what we think about their act of war and blood-seeking provocation!
10. azmus #8
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.01.10)
Yes, the people in the flotilla made a stupid decision that had bad consequences. The morons are the ones that belive these people were peace activists. Israel has no need to give excuses for anything. They did nothing wrong.The people that died here deserve Darwin Awards.
11. # 9
Birdi ,   Israel   (05.31.10)
Right now there are demonstrations outside the Turkish Embassy in Israel.
12. Chaim # 3
Eaglebeak ,   Left Coast, USA   (06.01.10)
A good joke. Many seem to resent Israel for no good reason. Post #8 is an example. It makes me wonder if azmus is French or Muslim. More people should admire Israel. I certainly do.
13. To those hypocrites who rush to denounce Israel
David ,   Philadelphia, USA   (06.01.10)
May you and your contries be judged by the same standards you impose on the Jewish State. If instant karma does not get you now, it will catch up with you one day - yesh din.
14. attempt to create the next Rachel Corrie
GZLives   (06.01.10)
islamists willing to die to provoke Israeli soldiers to use lethal force hoping they'd kill a foreoign (useful idiot) idealist. Wait until the background of those killed comes to light. These were would be "shaheeds"
15. Don't any of these people have jobs?
The Dude   (06.01.10)
Seriously, how the hell can you organize a large gathering like that? Even with today's cellphones, internet, and etc... Don't they have to make a living? If I just left my work in the middle of the day, my boss would have me thrown on the street.
16. What else can we expect from the turncoat French?
sdunc ,   USA   (06.01.10)
With friends like these who needs enemies? God bless you, Israel!
17. Oh to Hell with Arabs getting stupid in Paris streets
Cameron ,   USA   (06.01.10)
18. The French still dream of Vichy, bunch of traitors
carlos ,   San Diego CA   (06.01.10)
AND COWARDS1
19. The Irony in "Boycott Israel"
Dan ,   Teaneck, USA   (06.01.10)
Ironically, they probably organized these rallies via cell phone (like text messages) and internet (including instant message), all of which were invented in ISRAEL (virtually all computers run on Pentium processors, which are Israeli) . So if they really want to boycott Israel they need to call each other on land-lines to organize their next irony. They need Israel more than Israel needs them.
20. Please tell the truth to the world
Mina ,   Haifa, Israel   (06.01.10)
I call upon every truth & justice seeking person, to explain wherever you can, what really happened in that "Peace Activists" ambush & massive brutal attempts to lynch our young Israeli soldiers. Those soldiers came with no intention to hurt & mere negotiate with what they thought were "Humanitarians". Yet many of them turned out to be a well equipped, brutal lynching mob, on which today's tragic, unexpected development is to be blamed. Please start controlling those radicals in this world who keep on spreading lies about Israel & Jews. Where were those activists when Israelis civilians suffered from over 8,000 rockets launched at them by Hamas & Co., in the few years after Israel withdrew from Gaza? Could it be that the losses of Jewish/Israelis lives was not worth protesting against? Please do everything you can to tell the truth to the world.
21. Dude-In Europe most Arabs on benefit-work is a 4 letter word
Alan ,   SA   (06.01.10)
22. Only 19
Friend of Israel ,   Portugal   (06.01.10)
The should sink the boat, Turkish goverment just put these people in danger! They claim justice humanitary crimes, maybe they forgot the Kurds and the culture of killing people 1,5 millions Armenian I thing they forgot!
