1. Bring out Israeli flags
Ilana   (06.02.10)
hang them everywhere! I did. I am just waiting to demonstrate for Israel. How do we begin?
2. how can you defend IDF?
azmus ,   usa   (06.02.10)
There were many ways to stop the ships, and they choose the most risky way to stop them, it was like playing the script of the provocateurs. At least wait until they enter the Israel's water territory. You may say you weren't on ground and you don't know the situation, but it was so obvious that ships were seeking the confrontation and IDF gave it in silver plates. NOW as a result of stupid rush decision Israel lost the support of the many nations, HAMAS got good PR and probably will solidify its status, and world became more dangerous for jews. i think there is no excuse for IDF.
3. Jewish street
Shaltiel ,   NYC   (06.02.10)
Finally! I'm sick of hearing about world leaders not supporting Israel because they're afraid of offending the "Arab street." The world doesn't care about facts...it's whoever screams the loudest that controls the narrative. So, time for the Jewish street to start making noise...otherwise we will just be seen as pathetic.
4. The antisemites control the (leftist arab appeasing)media
Jason ,   NY   (06.02.10)
With all the evil taking place on earth - including genocides in the Congo and Sudan - the world still focuses on every slight detail regarding Israel's affairs! The flotilla incident is only the most recent example. When Israel decides to build 1,600 apartments in Jerusalem, the world can't contain their fury. But when there is a systematic killing of millions of innocent Congolese or Sudanese, the world is silent. Why? Because the world wants to focus on Jews - not good and evil. The world has been, currently is, and always will be fixated on us. We didn't ask for this role, but we find ourselves in this position nonetheless.
5. Raising the flags wont change the Brutality done!
Obserever   (06.02.10)
The more crimes Israel commits, the more isolated it becomes, the angrier its inner community becomes, the flags go up, fear increases and in reaction to show political strength they kill more people and the list goes on... but hang on a minute.. isnt there any normal person in this country that beleives Non jews have the right to live?
6. Support and solidarity towards Israel from Spain.
Roberto Gutierrez ,   Madrid, Spain   (06.02.10)
Israel, just a few words: You are not alone and will never be alone, because you are defending what apparently Europe no longer dares to defend: Freedom and Democracy. Don’t stop fighting for these values, your fight is our fight.
7. How can you support the IDF
Resistor   (06.02.10)
Today, the IDF fired a teargas cannister deliberately at the head of a 21 y/o American woman who was peacefully standing in a demonstration. She has now lost her eye! As the activists are released, their true stories are coming out about the brutality of the IDF on the ships. Stun guns, teargas, live bullets-paintball guns my arse!! The truth willcome out, and Israel will be isolated and punished. Israel is slowily imploding, and we will be better off WITHOUT Israel and WITHOUT barbaric zionists!
8. "vally of wolves" Do you remember this Turkish drama?!
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.02.10)
But this time, it is real and not fictitious .
9. The best county in the world and the Best ARMY
Im with ISRAEL ,   ISRAEL   (06.02.10)
10. We fell into trap they set for us.
Inyaki ,   Bilbao, Basque   (06.02.10)
Exactly... In my time we ourselves would put a trap to the terrorists. Looks as Ehud Barakh has lost his touch...., maybe he should have gone himeself there dressed as a woman? Oy wei, I forgot, he wouldn't have passed the Saifan's entrance....
11. Salma
Hertzel ,   Tveria/USA   (06.02.10)
So cinically u use the Israeli media to attack us with antisimetic BS. Turkey in trying to paly belly dance for it's Irainan neibour and it is no longer a friend or a nutral observer in the ME. The crap you brought in the title of your comment is a proof, to any one that knows the detail of that blood liable !!!
12. Resistor
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.02.10)
Yep, they fired a teargas canister DELIBERATELY at the head..Have you ever heard of useful idiots? Are you proud being one of them?
13. the terrorists cant beat us so the are using a new tactic.
m ,   israel   (06.02.10)
14. Not "aTrap," it was a passenger ship!
David of Canberra ,   ACT Australia   (06.02.10)
"Since the IDF's lethal raid on the Gaza flotilla, it seems the entire world is against us." Australia had people aboard this ship, and everyone has been treated with discourtesy and humiliation, and as comented here, like a "terrorist." The people killed and injured are not the victims of "paintball" guns. Yes the world feels sick to the stomach at any news of Israel now after the mass Israeli slaughters in Lebanon and againstst the democratic people of Gaza, as well as the Israeli governments theft of Australian Passports to pin pollitical assinations on people like me, 'an Aussie!' No nasty Jewish supportor of Israel has the the nerve to curse Australians as "anti-semitic" anymore, as there is no-one left in the world who supports this nasty religion or it's invasion of Palestine, and we don't put up with it. So, support your troops and your leaders, no-one else does.
15. They were thugs, not "activists"
Zvi   (06.02.10)
16. #10 Barak lost his touch a long time ago.
Zvi   (06.02.10)
He was responsible for the botched withdrawal in 2000 that set up Hezbollah in south Lebanon and encouraged Arafat to think that he could win a war against Israel.
17. We fell into the trap/muck caused by
disgusted   (06.02.10)
the kam-blau-goldstone terrorist supporters and all the rotten left, whom we keep on allowing to defile our country. They betray and sell us out us with their hateand traitorous views on tv radio and media
18. God has not forgotten his chosen people
Marit Benjosef ,   Stavanger, Norway   (06.02.10)
Israel, remember you have friends all over the world supporting you. The difference is that we don't talk so loud as all your enemies. They are so filled with hatred. I apologize on behalf of Norway and will continue to stand up for Israel the rest of my life. Remember the promises to Abraham. The God of Israel is still your God.
19. # 7
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
You need to get out of Oz real fast & go live in Iran where you really belong.
20. # 1 Ilana
Birdi ,   Israel   (06.02.10)
Begin by going onto as many Israeli & foreign news websites to defend Israel. Read the websites of our various universities in Israel to know when the next demo will be, & participate with your head held HIGH.
21. Be brave
James ,   Dakar Senegal   (06.02.10)
Don't for about the gathering stone the gathering of nation against the people of Israel, don't forget that you have no friend starting from the day God gave you that promise Land, so be brave / strong and couragious God bless Israel
22. Moral?
John ,   Oslo, Norway   (06.02.10)
«Bnei Akiva head Rabbi Benny Nachteiler also got activists out on the streets. "Our members in various branches stirred up the street, and got all the movement's regions to demonstrate," he said.» Oh, the irony! IDF - «the most moral army in the world» is in need of moral support...
23. Bravo!!!
Sam ,   New Zealand   (06.02.10)
Bravo Israel... Though you were armed by paintball gun, you still managed to take over the terrorists in humanitarian disguise. Turkey, Europe who blamed on Israel are such disgusting countries.. They need to experience what Israel face. Why dont they go to Egypt? Isn't it obvious they want it the war? Did not they know that Israel would not let them go to the legally blockaded zone? If you insisted after you were warned, all wrongs are in your side. Should Turkey wish to ship again with its army, then Israel should shoot them down without hesitation. It is an act of war to start it up.
24. rigt wing extremist
Harri Greenberg ,   Berlin   (06.02.10)
this manifestation is the proof that Israel is ruled by right wing extremist that dont want peace. The rigt wing govement of Netanyahu wants to control the palestinian and and imposre a colonial rule over the region. This policy endangers the future of the jewish people in the near east. The left has to fight bak internationally with all political mean. The right wing goverment of Israel has to be internationally isolated until it obays international law. Netanyahu is becoming the Milosevic of the near east and we hope that Israel will not end like Serbia has ended.
25. Navy Proud
Shafeek ,   Puerto Rico   (06.02.10)
Proud of the Israeli Navy , Keep protecting Israel and for the injured soldier take care and thank you...
26. More Israeli Lies
Bill Saunders ,   Melbourne Australia   (06.02.10)
The one thing that we in Australia can always be certain of when Israel commits state terrorism is that it will claim the other side fired first. Well its becoming clear that the Israeli commandos fired at the ship before they even got on board. Obviously intending to frighten the unarmed civilians on board. What a shock when they fought back with whatever they had available! Your "brave" IDF men are only effective against unarmed forces. Essentially brutal bullies who struggled to overcome unarmed civilians. You are a horrible nation of compulsive liars and psychopathic killers. I have nothing but contempt for all of you.
27. #18 Scientology Today/Holy War
John ,   Oslo, Norway   (06.02.10)
Dear Marit. You probably know the Norwegian phrase "Å skille snørr og barter" [to separate snot and moustaches] ? Do you believe that the IDF is commissioned by God? I believe the Scientology ad-banner, and the Holy War game ad-banner on this page is commissioned by God.
28. Turkey is the biggest loser here-NO EU MEMBERSHIP
Alan ,   SA   (06.02.10)
29. Demonstration of support for IDF held across Israel
Harald ,   Holland   (06.02.10)
The easiest way to stop the ship was to use a torpedo, but they didn't. Unlike muslims, the Israëli's try to avoid unnecessery casualties.
30. the silent majority ...
abraham ,   toronto   (06.02.10)
must rise up against jihad. i would imagine pro-israel demonstrations will be held around the world---AND DO IT NOW VIVA ISRAEL
