92. Israel: 2 seriously injured, Peaceful activists: 19 Dead
Noel   (06.01.10)
There seems to be a bit of an imbalance here. The other thing, in the IDF video that was released, which shows the supposed attacks, there was not an activist shot. So what is the point of the video? Where is the IDF video of the shooting of the 19 people? What were the circumstances of the shootings? Witnesses say the IDF boats approached the flottilla shooting live ammunition - so at that point how were the soldiers in danger?

Palestinians like Chris Linthwaite cou ldn,t care two hoots about the killings of their brethren by the Muslims or Arabs ,as i don,t hear him sobbing for those Muslims killed in Lahore Pakistan yesterday in an attack on a civilian hospital ,where are your crocodile tears mister ?

97. I don't find this woman credible...sorry!
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.01.10)
I do think the Israeli approach could have been handled much better but this woman is not credible... read what was said: She said the flotilla's participants did not have any violent intentions: "Our goal was to break the siege. We had no plans for a confrontation. Ok, no violent intentions but break a siege????? I am not sure if I am reading this correctly but this is an aggressive act! Again I want to stress that I don't think the whole situation was handled as well as it could have been! Turkey has a major responsibility in this whole fiasco and there is not much mention of them! The notion that these ships could enter these waters and go into the Gaza port without permission is just irresponsible... nothing else! I get pissed off when my neighbor puts his garbage can on my property (he does it without asking) so I can just imagine how Israel feels about the arrogance of people shown rallying together and making a huge display attempting to enter their territory... and attempting to show the world the Israelis are barbarians! uh uh... nope... maybe if I put a pitbull on my property my neighbor won't put his garbage can there anymore... or maybe he will and get bitten... will I be the villain!
98. I don't think the goal was to kill
Noel   (06.01.10)
The goal was to cause outrage in the middle east, and to prompt a violent response. What a metaphor: Israel Navy armed with all the latest weaponry have to kill some activists supposedly armed with knives and iron bars! Israel is today's Goliath, and these little guys are today's David, fighting for some justice in a country where might rules and winning justifies any action

Because most of the Middle East will go with it.
104. #98 Little Goliath vs Giant Islam
Mike M. ,   Seattle, Wa.   (06.01.10)
Just as biblical Golitath fell flat on his face and then was decapitated, so it will be with this great monolith known as "Islam".

Birdi ,   Israel   (06.01.10)
"I dont think the Israeli approach could have been handled much better..." "Again I want to stress that I dont think the whole situation was handled as well as it could have been" Make up your mind, which is it to be ??

Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.01.10)

110. To Elaa
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.01.10)
Don't pay attention to Birdi. Her comments are ridiculous and she doesn't make sense...EVER! You are correct in your comments about her, there are many others like her also who don't allow world opinion or an objective view unless of course you agree with them!
111. Zoabi
Shalom ,   U.S.A / Israel   (06.01.10)
Zoabi ,Please give up you Israeli citizenship , time to live the Israeli government you are a treader no place for you in Israeli government. I hope they ship you to Gaza ,Do you watch how is you brother's stab our solders come out and speak the truth, Please be give up you Israeli citizenship and move out Gaza or even Iran better for you you can speak you mind there....
112. MK Zoabi and the high number of IDF Fatalities !
Harry Grunstein ,   Montreal Canada   (06.01.10)
I wish that MK Zoabi was correct in her assumption that the IDF wanted as many fatalities as possible on the activist flotilla to Gaza. If this were true the IDF could easily have bombed the flotilla to Kingdom Come, where they could have all met the 72 virgins promised to the defenders of the faith. Not one Israeli would have been harmed as this could easily have been done by a rocket attack from shore if the IDF was not trying to save the lives of those childish activists.
113. LIER
Jonathsn ,   Centerville USA   (06.01.10)
This reporter should be fired for her lies. LOTS of video shows the Flotilla ship firing shots at the boarding party before it even made it on board and attacking with clubs, pipes, even chairs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bU12KW-XyZE Shes either lying or blind and stupid
114. # 109
Birdi ,   Israel & proud of it   (06.02.10)
Oh but it is my business as an Israeli & a Jewesss who was born in Israel & who lives in Israel. You have every right to question & criticize Israel without saying you are "sick & bored of it." We are not twisting the facts at all. Madam you dont have the faintest idea of what I want so stop kidding yourself.
115. # 112
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
Very true.
116. i'm sure there were some 5-6000 victims on the boat..

finally, titanic has been dethroned.
117. positive side
mikael altemark ,   haninge sweden   (06.02.10)
i am glad that she was not injured or hurt so she can tell us about her impressions
118. Re: Eyal's Comment
Mya ,   CANADA   (06.02.10)
Those who believe she is lying or have made derogatory remarks should go and live in a police state. When you are brutally attacked by military there will be no one that will come to your aid. Why? Because they will say you are a terrorist, so you had to be dealt with harshly. Please think about the concentration camp that is Gaza and the 1400+ people the Israeli zealots have murdered.
119. @Birdi ,Israel
Elaa ,   germany   (06.02.10)
and what exactly you want ?. and well , yea its my business ! i was born there as well, i even have more right to be there, and ask criticize what ever i want more than you ! my whole family were there before any jew had ever steped on that land but thats not the issue now , dont even try to take advantage of it to open a whole other debate. and i can say whatever i want , im sure that i dont really need any permission , not from you or any body else. so mind your own business, because trust me , you dont want me to start really to speak , i have a lot to say, so please Madam :) good night
