Israeli soldiers on board the ship should be held and charged with murder, attempted murder and assault. Not one person should be deported until a full investigation is carried out and charges filed. Mob behavior means ALL are equally guilty of ALL that happened and should ALL face the same charges. What, 9 counts of murder a count of attempted murder for each Israeli who was assaulted and a count of assault for each and every person hurt on board ship. That'll cool their heels in prison for life.

Shalit is also a French citizen and demands the involvement of France and the entire EU to end his illegal incarceration against human rights conventions! EU - show yourselves as more than the biased, racists you are, and apply equal calls for the detainees and Shalit. Targeting Israel for defending its boarders simply shows how hypocritical you all are!! Not to mention that breaking a military blockade during war time is ILLEGAL...and 30 EU MPs took part in this. I hope hearings on them will be in the immediate future.

If the French and Italian foreign ministers want the "peace activists" released immediately, send them to Paris and Rome.

Most countries deport people who are not suitable but detain suspects who attempt to murder. Why is Israel so soft on the lynchers?

and keep these sickos as additional trading chips.

you pays for their flights back?

That way their governments might suddenly take an interest in justice for our kidnapped hero.

None of the passengers or attackers should be released until Gilad Shalit is released. Those that actually attacked soldiers are illegal combatants under international law and therefore do not have rights as prisoners of war. They should be charged criminally. Those that did not attack the soldiers are illegal immigrants and should be held pending a final, successful release of the illegal seizure of all Israeli hostages by all Arab states and Iran.
