1. too easy
Marcel ,   Florida   (06.01.10)
You make it too inviting for this Hamas aid flotilla to grow. Israel the wimp nation will not survive . Grow stronger and MORE resolute or die. Paid tickets home and good treatment for Israel's enemies. We all know what Hamas or any Muslim government or organization would do ,don't we ? This is war and being nice does not work ,it only makes you look weak and even more tempting as a target.

3. Could we please hear how wounded soldiers are recovering

4. Charge them with all the expenses they are generating
EST ,   Miami USA   (06.01.10)
Before these scumbags are deported, the State of Israel shoul charge them for the expenses incurred on their behalf .... Let them work it out if they don't pay...prisoners in the US clean roads, parks,etc., etc. or sue them for hospital costs...and other items being provided to them!!!@!
5. Prosecution of thugs?
Leo ,   Germany   (06.01.10)
What efforts are being undertaken to identify those folks who tried to lynch the members of the boarding party and have them stand trial? As of now, 9 terrorists have been reported killed. But the videos clearly show a much larger number of attackers.
6. Take photographs
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.01.10)
... and run them through facial recognition software and the compilation of known terrorists. That is why they do not wish to identify themselves. They are terrorists, plain and simple. Hmm. Guess that makes Turkey -- organizer of the failed flotilla -- guilty of being a state sponsor of terrorism. Oh, but wait! We knew that already! All those dead Kurds ..... Once upon a time, Turkey was known as the "sick man of Europe." It would appear that the illness is terminal ....

Are you saying that all acivists are terrorists now?? "Terrorist" is a hugekly overused word by jewish tbers here. The IDF should stand trial for murder, atempted murder, piracy and kidnapping in International waters. Shame Israel, shame!
8. The Egyptian President
Chris Linthwaite   (06.01.10)
has with the full support of the European Union and the government of Russia ordered that the Rafah Crossing is opened for Humanitarian IAid. The Jig is up.
9. I agree with Marcel
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.01.10)
Make them pay for their room and board and their return passage home. If they cannot pay, let them sit and rot in prison. Perhaps down the road we can exchange them for Gilad Shalit. These terrorist supporters should not receive succor and benefits at the expense of the Israeli taxpayer (of which I am one).
10. To: No. 7

The vessels were ordered to turn around as they were in defiance of an internationally-recognized embargo of a terrorist organization (i.e., Hamas). No legal issues here. Moreover, Gaza is non-sovereign territory. Israel has hegemony over the Gaza seacoast, also internationally recognized and endorsed by the Oslo accords. The vessels did not comply with the order to turn around. They did not comply with a second order to heave to. Frankly, they are supremely lucky that Israel opted not to blow them out of the water. What do you think would have happened to a vessel attempting to relieve the U.S. blockade of Cuba? What do you think would have happened to a vessel attempting to relieve the international blockade of Myanmar? Israel exercised its full rights, in compliance with the international ban on aid to terrorist organizations (Hamas) and protected its coastline. The only people who should stand trial for murder and attempted murder are the so-called "peaceful activists" who violently attempted to thwart Israel's perfectly legal actions. The world is just a little angry because Monday's swift and successful actions made them remember the events of June 1967 --.something they would prefer to forget. So -- to all those who mistook Israel's very careful military actions in Lebanon in 2006 and in Gaza during Cast Lead for "weakness" -- guess again. It's not even a matter of "we're back." The fact is, we never went away. You are well advised to keep that very, very much in mind the next time you challenge Israel. Am Israel Chai!

So people who were kidnapped (the words of the Irish Foreign Minister) in International Waters by Israeli forces, who gunned ten of them down for good measure, and forcibly taken against their wishes to Israel. They should then have to pay for their food and lodgings and transport home. When the UN has called for their immediate release and the return of the boats they were on. No wonder the Head of Mossad has announced that Israel is becoming a burden to the United States. With nutters like you living there, Israel sure doesn't need any enemies.
12. peace activists!! LOL
Ilana   (06.01.10)
more like the devil's messengers
13. PR is already bad, hard on Activists will not help
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.01.10)
While being hard on them could stop others from coming, it would also lead to worse PR since they are from many different countries. Pressure on Egypt to open border will be high now.
14. Israel - free medical care for terrorists
Max   (06.01.10)
Nothing for Israelis, everything for terrorists and enemies
15. I attended a ME seminar in a community college to be expert
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (06.01.10)
in Middle East affairs. We watched for one full hour Al Jazzera videos and has made me an instant expert Now I can run my mouth all the time about the Middle East from my comfortable couch 7000 miles away.
16. To @ 13 IF Pressure on Egypt to open border now ?
KATE ,   ISRAEL   (06.01.10)
Yes about time they stopped turning a blind eye and see how they TOO WILL BE IN TROUBLE. They got away too lightly up till now ignoring the building of TUNNELS under their noses. And if they open their border I say let them. ISRAEL WILL THEN TAKE CARE for its own border making certain no TERRORISTS cross over. Your words sound as though it is a threat to Israel? Not a bit.
17. Don'g give them El Al tickets vecause they
Vardina   (06.01.10)
are terrorists who might try to kidnap the plane.
18. They should pay for the tickets.
Vardina   (06.01.10)
19. those who refuse to identify themself are
Vardina   (06.01.10)
probably terrorists. Their identity should be checked carefully.
20. I absolutely agree with Marcel (#2)
Vardina   (06.01.10)
21. #10: Sarah B. I adore every word!!!
Vardina   (06.01.10)
22. # 3 To Alan
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.01.10)
Alan, 6 soldiers are still hospitalized, their conditions improving. TG.
23. Excellent idea
the green ape ,   Haifa Israel   (06.01.10)
This is their problem that they came to Israel.We told them they can't come here but they didn't listen to us and now they are crying. They should have known the results would be death, wounded and prison
24. Yes Chris @ 8 I saw your same post at JPOSTAnd >
Ross ,   USA   (06.02.10)
And you were ignored by all. So,don't come here as though you have become an expert on the European union &Russia ordering Rafah Crossing to be opened.? And so they will,but only for a veeeryyy short period for they hate thePals and Hamas just as much as Israel does. And in the end you announce: The Jig is up. But who's JIG IS SUPPOSE TO BE UP? As you are referencing BULLSHITTER?
25. To Marcel @ 1 & @ 2 Quite true ! Israel is far too>>
KATE ,   ISRAEL   (06.02.10)
Yes Israel is far too easy against its enemies.That you say we almost invite them? Yes it is unfortunate. But I'll tell you something of what I read yesterday the IDF says: NEXT TIME WE WILL BE EVEN MORE HARSH to anyone who presumes we will be as soft,to think they will try and approach our shores A pity that my post to you was not published.I agreed wholeheartedly with Sarah and yourself. Among those scumbags were not only the so-called humanists but many were hamasniks and Islamists. This was not a peaceful enteprise,but A DECLERATION OF WAR AGAINST ISRAEL. Next time there will not be any playing nicely Marcel.At least I hope our leaders will stand FAST and let the IDF do its work and finishes it on the VINE. Do you know what ,this reminds me of the 2006 war with Lebanon. Just when our soldiers were finally taking it in their stride,going as far as the Litani nearing Damascus when suddenly Olmert decided to stop the war. Of course it was Hasan the [pig] too who had asked for a ceasefire,Siniora crying all over the internet asking help from the Arabs. Which brings me to the point about the VIPER ASS-AD while in hiding like a coward,was calling his brethren acting like women. Sorry I went on a tangent,but it reminded me of it because it 's relevance to this latest. Paying for tickets home that OUR GOVT is so annoying,like adding insult to injury. Cannot believe our leaders bowing down to the enemies like Erdogan the newest Islamist recruit joining the THREE MONKEYS. i.e Syria,Hizbs,Iran.And to top it all NOW TURKEY. Know what,I am sick and tired we have nothing cheerful to read/write. Only trying to defend OUR EXISTENCE against THE WHOLE WORLD.Unheard of. I curse the lot of them honestly. It is not only physically,but we have to resort it VERBALLY on a daily basis. Uff!
