61. #3 You must be kidding! Israeli Pirates
izzy ,   Tarzana USA   (06.01.10)
#3 You must be kidding! Israel repeditly warned the Flotila not to enter the blocade. The blocade has been setup because Gaza still fires missles into Israel. Its discusting to think you thought this is a peaceful mission. Israel did the right thing! They even agreed to deliver the Humaniterian Aide.

95% of Egypt populations are neighbors brotherhood which they worse than Hamas and Hamas is worse than them, the only reason Egypt dose not want to annex the Gaza because they want to have an excuse against State of Israel ,the peace treaty which has been forced by Jimmy Carter administration with Egypt was historic defeat for State of Israel ,Israel by given back the Sinai peninsula did not receive any thing except peace treaty on piece of paper ,the only reason has stop Egypt for an other war with Israel is the U S aid to Egypt but the day will come that the Egypt will break her fake peace treaty and will go to war with Israel ,I do not trust any Islamic nation because when it come to Islam all of them will be come terrorisms.
63. And South Korea?
Laurent ,   USA   (06.01.10)
North Korea recently sunk a boat and killed 46 sailors and nobody gives a damn. Where was the outrage, the demonstration?
64. It's a miracle
TG   (06.01.10)
that many of our beloved soldiers weren't killed in this ill planned operation ( scared of left wing israeli traitors in the knesset, the media and on the screen, as usual )
65. no matter what u say, u're screwed
Marwan ,   Amman, Jordan   (06.01.10)

"When dealing with Turks be well armed of face a genocide"...
67. or...
Jack ,   Birmingham, UK   (06.01.10)
...maybe think of it this way: Imagine the following scenario: A foreign ship is approaching the shores of the USA, the border police (LAPD) ask it to stop, say it doesn't, so LAPD board the foreign ship in attempt to take control over the boat that is violating the law, to make it worse the police get attacked by the ship crew - do you think the police won't react? Why should Israel be different to the rest of the world?
68. had enough

If it were any country in the world..... that boat would of been sunk. Israelis should of just disabled the boat by 'making a hole in it'. All those people on the boat knew the consequences.

70. Think aboun Putin's reaction to "aid" for Chechnia.

71. International organizations.
Ron B. ,   Lod   (06.01.10)
In the international arena, the automatic majority of Islamic and other radical states guarantees the passage of all anti-Israeli resolutions initiated at international organizations such as the United Nations, no matter how absurd. The so-called United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC), which includes the worst tyrannies and rogue states among its leading members, is just one example. People throughout the world unfamiliar with the intricacies of the UN or the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict are bombarded with constant reports of resolutions from a supposedly reputable body condemning Israel as a rogue state. Thus, the false narrative of the Islamic majority, automatically endorsed by compromised international agencies, becomes embedded in the public consciousness.Try to understand the Middle East : http://xrl.us/bf2r73

I think he who should learn from the Armenian incident is you and the Turkish nation. But one day when another group of so called peace activists try to smuggle arms into Turkey for PKK I would like to see what the Turkish military will do. I stil remember when Turkey was cutting the flow of water from the river to Syria when Abdullah Ocalan was being protected by Syria. Still in this day Turkish F16s keep oon bombing Iraq territory at least once a month or more. Just like Turkey fights Pkk even outsoide its borders in Iraq .so does Israel have the right to defend herself from foreigh intruders, agitators and provocateurs like the IHH, the grand childfren of the Mullahs who brutally killed Liutenant Kubilay in Menemen in 1927.
73. DON'T RISK THE LIVES OF SOLDIER? How oxymoronic.
Stewart ,   U.S.A.   (06.01.10)
See the Debka artical. Sure there were others in other branches of the Israeli defense forces that were more experienced at this type of operation, BUT no war or battle was ever one and no contry was ever defended without a risk of life. "Push a button"??? Huh, what have you been playing. Some electronic video game? The early northern generals in America's civil war had your ideas, and we almost lost the nation. Real generals know what it takes to win a war and not lose ones country and freedom.

Dany ,   Toronto   (06.01.10)
Listen Blocked Head, Smith whatever, WE ARE NOT GOING TO SUFFER FROM "YOUR PEACE" ARMADA - the FOLLOWERS OF HAMAS. You can think what you want, so can the world think - this is OUR COUNTRY & we'll defend OUR COUNTRY with ALL MEANS POSSIBLE. You don't like it, the WORL DOE'S NOT LIKE IT, TOO BAD. Now, READ what #14 says & Enlighten your Blocked Ears.
75. #1, ...Israel - UN
Dany ,   Toronto   (06.01.10)
MY PRETEXT IS THAT I'LL DEFEND MY COUNTRY BY ANY MEANS IN MY POWER, whether the WHOLE WORLD LIKES IT NOT + WHETHER YOU DON'T LIKE IT. Why should even 1 DROP OF BLOOD OF OUR SOLDIERS BE SPILLED BY THE "Peace Activists" / LYNCHING ACTIVISTS ? DEATH TO YOU ALL !

Norman ,   Philippines   (06.01.10)
Who cares South Korea is not an Arab/Islamic state and Israel is the favorite villain right now not the impoverished North Korea. Anyway a video footage will prove it not the twisted Arab/Islamic propaganda machine.
78. to #76 nato shoot and does drills in international
ghostq   (06.01.10)
water all the time, go check it, international water means nothing it means the area belongs to nobody, stop the copy past of extreme Islamik propeganda cause the intention of the those so call peace is to shak the area.
79. #69 The problem with the end of Israel
Archangel ,   Roma   (06.01.10)
It would only take a whole lot with it. The world would quickly regret such a scenario.
80. #76 Turkman-Swallow it and keep quiet
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (06.01.10)
81. #76 - no justification for Turks to break military blockade
William ,   Israel   (06.01.10)
The blockade is perfectly legal in a time of war, and maritime law allows the boarding of a vessel in open waters IF that vessel has the intent to run the blockade, or is suspected of contraband. The fact that Turkey supported this act means Turkey is responsible for any deaths AND has declared indirectly a war on Israel. For this, I hope Turkey will pay dearly.
82. Are you kidding ?!
palestine bird ,   palestine   (06.01.10)
everything is clear ! all the world see that ,, it is another bad attack ,, isreal ,,, will regret in the future ,, because no one _ arabs and palestanians and muslims _ will calm ,, " freedom is on the way " !
83. Oh, they forget the Flowers!!
Manal ,   Sieged GAZA   (06.01.10)
The activists forgot to bring flowers in order to give them to the fully armed solidiers!! What Israel expect them to do with the solidiers who are trying to prevent them from providing some aids to sieged Gaza.? Every every body who is not in full with the crimes of Israel is a terrorist. That's what the Israeli is marketing.
84. #81 military blockade is unnecessary
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.01.10)
But how will make Turkey pay dearly?! by your "Soldier's Heroes" who terrified of unarmed civilians !!!
85. You are mistaken
Diane ,   USA   (06.02.10)
If you think Israel was at fault. Read the article. It is fact the hatred towards Israel just as some talkbacks. If they were pirates they would have left the paintball guns at home, they would have seiged the boats and all the goods. Even with the injuries sustained, Israel is still deporting the terrorists, freeing the boats and the goods. Pirates don't do that any more than true humanitarians would turn away the offer to allow docking at their dock and delivering the goods by land. This wasn't a humanitarian task. Just another opportunity for the terrorists to turn world opinion against Israel, regardless of the situations, their compromises and videos showing the "peace" activist brutalizing the soldiers.. No matter what is shown or Israel's position the world will never think for themselves or wonder why the activists were defiant and aggressors. Be blind.
