Oh but you soon will Matty, be patient. It takes time to dsplay all those knives.

It was in international wather, what Will be thé NeXT step? Europe because there is to many palestinien supporter? If you would havé been attack on your boat on the somalian coast, would you have protected you? It is difficult to défend Israël for that action.

Thank you so much for that extremely informative link. That should put an end to the idiots once and for all .... but it won't.

Lets not forget who won you over in like every way there was!!! Idiot

a stupid jew pretending to be an arab. you are ridiculous

To our soldiers. My prayers are with you.

Turkish sources and media revealed a document which shows that a death list had been prepared in advance by the Israelis, showing names and pictures of people on board of the ships to be murdered..... http://info-wars.org/2010/06/01/turkish-sources-israeli-advance-target-assassination-list-found-on-flotilla

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU AND ALL TZAHAL!!

the news should be: IDF, WITH PURITY OF ARMS AND HIGHLY TRAINED SOLDIERS, MANAGE TO AVOID MAJOR DISASTER AND KILLS ONLY 9 FROM THE HUNDRED ARMED ATTACKERS

All the IDF members including this one (after recovery) should be put to a military prison for not paying attention during the trainings. They are not aware of anything called Krav-Maga. If you have to incapacitate someone you do not have to shoot to kill, all you have to do is to shoot in the leg. They also ruined the relations of countries for Piracy and violence on International waters against a ship with Turkish Flag is against the International Laws. For all who have lost their lives and wounded "Baruch attah ADONAI Eloheinu melech ha'olam, DAYAN HA'EMET". SHALOM AND LEHITRAOT.

How curious that 5 of the 6 ships in the convey followed naval instructions and headed into Ashdod - and no one suffered so much as a scratch. But it was on the lead ship - the ship of (over 500) fools - that things went awry. (It's also the ship that contained almost no supplies.) They put up the kind of resistance that was absent even on weapons ships like the Karine A and the Francop. Get real. This was terror theater - a well planned trap for the IDF which had no good options. It was packed to the gills with people who believed they were in a win-win situation, and they said as much before sailing. If they reached Gaza, they'd win; if the IDF stopped them, they'd win. And if they were killed, well they'd go straight to Paradise, while a dead "martyr" is invaluable.

Walked into a trap? Yes. Because Israel stupidly believed that peace activists were just that, especially when waving the white flag? Double Yes. But these soldiers who fell into a lynch mob not only came out alive, but took many of the terrorists with them, and took control of the boat. That is called "operational success". No fight is easy when up against people who lie and murder for their own racist agenda - and we've seen this since 1920.

The enemies of Israel know very well how to manipulate world media. This was a planned terror operation using the guise of a "peaceful" aid flotilla to create world-wide outrage against Israel.

by the brave defenders of Mavi Marmara

it is as usual, Israel attacks perfidiously without declaring war. Extended the water territory? but no war was declared. over that; those ships attacked are not war ships.

No one ever questions the rabid racist if he holds an academic degree. No one ever questions the crew of the flotilla, even after chanting racist slogans, once they call themselves "peace activists". It seems all you have to do is give yourself a pleasant title and you can do as you please. Leftists and Despots are experts at twisting reality, and of course, accepting it as true. One Leftist poster remarked that he was asked to name one Leftist movement that didn't end up supporting a murderous despotic govt. He couldn't.

No matter how much I support your struggle against terrorism and fight for your country, I must say, that this time (again) you fell in very well prepared trap, courtesy of Turkish Islamo-fascist Erdogan. I hope that you have learned something..I really hope. You have so many directors, excellent media people all over the world, but your PR is a shame. Do something about it.

Yest Egypt won the war in 48/56/67/73. Agreed with your late president Nasser How many shoes the egyptian army left in the battlefield.

Humanitarian mission??? Intent on killing Israelis? Those on board seemed well prepared for murder. IDF exposed this fraud on camera for the world to see. Prayers for IDF.

Thought not. That's why the border with lebanon has been quiet since 2006. And Gaza is massively subdued from pre-Cast Lead. And why Jordan and Egypt signed a peace deal with Israel. You can have your opinions...but at the end of the day, the IDF proves its effectiveness.

"Steal land from its people" - Gaza is fully in the hands of the Gazans and its defunct rulers, Hamas. Please show me the "land" stolen from Gaza? "Confine them in a concentration camp" - I know many people who would love to live in this "concentration camp". Compared to the real thing, Gaza is a paradise. Food stalls over-flowing. Brand new cars, appliances, zoo animals being smuggled in. Yep - no Gazans are gassed, none have shaved heads, and per many reports by the media (CNN, BBC, Maan, Financial Times) - no starvation either. But until Hamas ends their 5 year old declaration of war, the siege will continue.

this is our original country, and I look forward to the day when I retrieve my homes in Hebron and E. Jerusalem, which were taken from my families by racist Arabs in 1920 massacres and 1948 Jordanian ethnic cleansing. Oh wait - aren't those things war crimes and human rights violations?

This was a heinous setup by the usual murderous liars who seek Israel's destruction. The outcome was planned to rally all the Israel-hating nations, and that certainly has worked. However, among the few mistakes Israel made, Ehud Barak's involvement in planning is the most regrettable. Despite his political value to the Netanyahu coalition, he is incompetent in his role as Defense Minister. As I understand it, he was involved in every aspect of planning the IDF's operation.

Believe me I am sitting here with tears,so upset about what they did to you .I wish I could do something for you. I am really angry . I hope you all get better very soon .Special feelings go to the guy thrown off the deck and the guy in the water (I think thats right).Of course the others too.

during the civil war in your country ,then you don't know what is going on. So shut the hell up

To see the first Israelis boarding the ship & being attacked by the scum of the sea. The Jew haters will never see it as other free people in their right mind will.

"'I cocked my weapon when I saw that one was coming towards..." care to comment?

well-prepared young men elite force versus old shaggy Paramilitaries & journalists, so the wounded soldiers in effect have to be multiplied by a factor of 100-200. Is that the Israeli rule of engagement ? were those Sayeret Metkal or Golani species.
