31. Pali's are kidnapped everyday Vardana...
Cali Cal ,   Los Angeles   (06.02.10)
from area's under full Palestinian control. Stop being a racist hypocrite. You and your people are'nt special and deserve no special treatment. You should be treated as the war criminals and pirates that you are. Next time the Turks should send navy escorts and lets see if you guys have the balls to intercept them. A bunch of cowards you are for storming unarmed boats.
32. Peck
Marty ,   USA   (06.02.10)
Well, at least the old anti-semite proves that when Israeli commandos aren't being attacked and beaten by terrorist vermin, they don't shoot people.
33. to #31 you mean like declaring war?
ghostq   (06.02.10)
it was Turkis intiative to send boat to the Israeli country not the other way around. and the Turks had molotoves on the boat.
34. Manual on International Law to Armed Conflicts at sea
Danielle ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea: http://www.icrc.org/web/eng/siteeng0.nsf/htmlall/57jmsu?opendocument read it peck!
35. #31 Name Palis kidnapped in last week?
Cynthia ,   USA   (06.02.10)
You've been spending too much time at Disneyland. Jihadists on board were armed to teeth with government sponsorship from the new proxy of Iran. Next time Erdogan should think twice before he organizes a terror attack against Israel.
36. And the slaughter of chidren by the CIA drone?
Jonny ,   SA   (06.02.10)
Noy a word from anyone about the slaughter of the children in Pakistan by a CIA drone. Wonder why not.
37. mr. peck are you on pills?
Natalie ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
Our soldiers threw floor below the deck by terrorist and before they're beating him with iron clubs and stared a knife in his stomach , and you, what's bothering you they asked you to have a seat?
38. protest crimes
Ilana   (06.02.10)
we must protest crimes committed in Gaza by Hamas against their brothers, in Sudan, in Afghanistan, in Iraq and in Iran and in Pakistan. Massacres happen there on a daily basis. Let's protest these crimes against humanity!!!!!
39. Hypocrite
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (06.02.10)
Why doesn't this hypocrite condemn Obama? Yesterday,Obama ordered his forces to murder Mustapha al-Yazid who is presumably a terrorist together with his wife, three daughters and baby granddaughter. Unlike the self-defense of the Israeli commandos, murdering babies is a war crime yet Peck doesn't want to endanger is hefty ambassador's pension.
40. IS THAT PECK OR PECKER... : )
Robert ,   farmington,wv   (06.02.10)
peck...pecker i dont care what his name is. the old man is trying to make a name for him self , israel should gave him a wheel chair and rolled him off the ship instead of telling him to sitdown , I would have , what is very sad is there are alot of antisemites that believe when they die they are going to heaven , boy do I have a news flash for them...may the lord forever bless the state of israel........
41. safe your breath people
alissa   (06.02.10)
safe your breath- you are no better than your government- after this fiasco- why should the world care? Israel has become a wild card, a rogue nation- it does not abide by international laws like civilized nations- it is now at the level of all the primitive nations with leaders like Hugo Chavez etc. good luck you'll need it, better start praying- IF God will help you this time.
42. They were invited to pass all of those expired drugs
Me   (06.02.10)
They were invited to pass all of those expired drugs that they brought, after inspection, but they chose to make believe instead.
43. IDF is antihumanitism
samuel ,   holand   (06.02.10)
#1, when somebody critisize Israel you him antisemite, what about the actions of your IDF (Israel Destruction Forces ) I think they are antihumanitism. aren't they?
44. to #41 primitive who won nobal prise this year
ghostq   (06.02.10)
you see Israel is the last friend USA had in the middle east from now on to any thing in Iraq or in afganistan the amerikan troopers on their own, you basically hang a huge sigh, that says if you r extreme Muslim you r more than welcome to the USA, and they didn't showed you the movie that on the boat the Muslims shouted death to jews. it's in youtube very reckomanded to watch.
45. to #43 not when the 10 dead "activists" r all men that had
ghostq   (06.02.10)
9 inch knives.
46. Peck please go protest in Zimbabwe
J. ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
The rural Zimbabweans have less than what you had on your ship.
47. oh! please don't, we're shaking!!
KEREN   (06.02.10)
48. Ignorants
Joe ,   Out of this mess   (06.02.10)
Why don't YOU go to Zimbabwe? If you cared a bit about your country and peace in the region you would be protesting against an army who just committed illegal crimes in international waters. Yeah, I think the boat was full of Yihadists, everyone was Yihadist. Actually, every country in the world which had people in the boat is Yihadist, except for Israel, but there were Jews too! You're isolating your country, stupid!
49. Peck the Jerk
Lika ,   USA   (06.02.10)
This jerk said on Fox News last night that he was sitting in the small salon and dosing on the Greek ship when it happened. On ABC he said that he was in bed and it caught him by surprise. I guess he suffers from Alzheimer disease and his place is in the nursing home some where in his beloved Gaza Strip.
50. to Cali, #31
Joe ,   PA, USA   (06.02.10)
Please dilute some of your ignorance before you speak again, you might poison us all. There are things called maritime laws, read them please. Ignorance added to pure emotional reaction does nobody any good whatsoever. And don't kid yourself, IDF will kick the bejesus out of almost any armed forces in the world.
51.  the people on board were carrying ....
Froi ,   Philippines   (06.02.10)
Seriously now, if the rationale is to bring aid to Gaza then Israel's offer to let the goods in via Ashdod should have been accepted. But everything was political from the start and once again poor Gazans were used for propaganda.
52. Most regretable this has happened RIGHT ???
M. S. ,   mpls america   (06.09.10)
I realize we all knew that Israel meant to intercept the freedom Flotiala to Gaza with military forces it is most regretable that people were killed injured up on both sides this is like war and it is most regretable I feel so out numbered as a J*wish person feel lucky people are not hot to attack me but am scared I think Israel should pay for damages allow the cement other construction material in to Gaza Israel is over reacting to the word Hamas it does not sound all that bad a word to me as Israel makes it out to be native Israeli logic not wise J*wish logic like they should take too much brain washing not enough wise smart thinking I hope Israel sees this and so changes to meet June 2010 criteria it is not 1928 RIGHT ??? Thank You... M. S.
