31. Israel
Sagi   (06.03.10)
is on a collision course with the world. The reason for this is that from the inception of our legal return to our rightful homeland we have been appeasing the Arabs. The world is on a collision course with the Arabs and Islam for the very same reason, appeasment. throughout history has proved time and again to be a self deceptive policy. Appeasment does not work and the collision course will inevitably lead to conflict. "Allah" will not win this conflict because "Allah" is a figment of Man's imagination. Justice, freedom and humanity shall prevail.

35. Wade - #22
Dino Domingo ,   Vancouver, Canada   (06.03.10)
Wade - you said "They wanted a violent confrontation to make Israel look bad. The Marmara was the only ship of the 6 which resisted the commandos' authority. You agree with the blockade- how did you expect Israel to stop this ship?" So, if you know you are much stronger than someone, far more militarily equipped, have better weapons and protection gear but you don't want to fight... why would you attempt to attack without using all the means possible first to prevent a fight and not jump out like a bunch of GI Joe's! Yeah, maybe they were looking for a confrontation although I highly doubt it... most of them couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag! If they were really prepared then there would have been Israeli casualties... these were not trained fighters they were average extremists... primitively fighting for their cause! You (Israel) fell into their trap and now look far worse than they did! The claims that these were terrorists is super funny! If there was even 1 known terrorist or affiliate don't you think the Israelis would have kept them??? If I stumbled across a terrorist I would show his/her picture to the world, provide evidence and then the tables would have turned very quickly... but nobody provided any evidence of that!
36. it is because jewish left is against israel
bernard ross ,   st anns bay jamaica   (06.03.10)
If israel were united this would ot happen. The jewish left is ushering i the next holocaust. the enemy is ot intrerested in peace just as they were not interested in humanitarian aid to gazza, that is what the left does not understand.
37. A majority of this world supported creation of Israel
Rob   (06.03.10)
It's a sick statement by Peres and other Israeli politicians that use the 'victim excuse' to shut up critism. It's always pulled out when the failure is too big, lacking any other reasonable explanation.
38. to # 8
murat ,   antalya-turkey   (06.03.10)
you are right. israel is on the very right !
39. IF YOU CAN'T ACCEPT CRITICISM
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (06.03.10)
Get off the concert stage .Whose genius idea was it to invade a ship while armed with paintballs?
40. The third time, Inshallah (god willing), I will be a shaheed
Bentsi ,   South Africa   (06.03.10)
Miserable creature, it's Muhammad wants you dead. Leave him! Only Jesus gives life and life in abundance! May God bless and protect all Jews!
41. The Gazans want to leave!
Am Arab   (06.03.10)
By the way, the people who stay in Hamas Occuppied Gaza are constantly trying to get away, but Hamas will not let them. They hold most of them here by force as a human shield...and as evidence of 'citizenry' to enable them to continue their cries for statehood. The truh is that Hamas does not really care about the citizens of Gaza...only to incite them for their own end, then use them as a shield when the need arises. Another thing...Peace ambassadors indeed! Seriously!
42. Terrorists
Giora Me'ir ,   USA   (06.03.10)
Is there anyone who opposes Israeli policies that Israel does not label a "terrorist"? Whether you demonstrate, throw a rock, or defend yourself, you're the same as a suicide bomber. The Israeli government is draining the word of all meaning.
43. Peres is part of the Problem
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (06.03.10)
Peres and his EU benefactors at his Peace Center and Barak both with a attitude of appeasement are the main cause of the problem along with Livni and Olmert. http://israelprotect.blogspot.com
44. #6: (maybe you mean "distorted") "facts"
jerusalem   (06.03.10)
if you dont mind of course, i would like to see the studies that you have based this statement upon. btw, i would just like to add to your first statement, when you push, maybe not right away, but expect the repercussions. the seige on gaza has been there before the capture of shalit. if you remember to at the least, when hamas won the elections back in '05. if IL wanted to include references to the UN (which I advise against, taking into consideration its circumstance), it has to also look at the many violations in charters, human rights, etc. that it has crossed. as for your demand to return shalit, i hope that IL experiences more of the like situations, or death of soldiers by similar circumstances that shalit himself took part in. May god help those Gazans. what is "thorkia" ?? (nothing comes up in the search) as for the kurds, noone forgot their crimes, same as hitler- the same as it will be for israel. the only difference is that one could process the actions of the past for the past. as for your narration of what appened in the flotilla, neither you nor i were actually there. it wouod be wiser to wait till things are clear and after an investigation (hoping that they would reconsider the state of israel conducting all this for more objectivity) i dont think that the flotilla came for the israelis, they were on their way to gaza. the gazan people have a right, just like the israelis to live a dignified life, its one of the charters of the UN, in which you refer to. it does not look anyway that israel cares for world opinion-i mean with this incident, the dubai incident, the whole occupation thing-you know, no need for me to list. you hide behind the new mask-"shalit" in all the present actions of israel. when was he captured again? i could remember in the first couple of years of me arriving here, almost every day a palestinian would die from one excuse to another by the IDF, this is before even the hamas elections. women and children. As long as the gazan people cant sleep from all the troubles brought on by israel from various fronts, i wish the same for it. one would almost believe your shalit references in your postulations. but as Brandy said, "Almost Doesnt Count" who do you think you are playin'? what are YOUR real intentions? i'm glad you are concerned, and hope that feeling will never rub off as long as you and the likes carry the present ideas in your post.

45. British support for Israel, see video. Awesome
keshet g ,   London   (06.03.10)
British Jews supporting Israel, singing the British national anthem and cars honking horns in support as they pass http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=01SSxbY9HMY
46. My heart isalso with ALL the guys but espec 2 thrown down
Alan   (06.03.10)
the decks Please keep us informed all the time how they all are doing with their recovery.
47. SELF-OBSESSION AND THE TRUTH
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (06.03.10)
Dear Mr. Peres ,the truth is not too many people in the world ,regular folk that is ,could give two hoots one way or the other.Jews /Israel are not the center of everybodys' universe ,which breaks the heart of many in Israel and the media ."We so need to be loved" say the love addicts ,the jewish approval junkies ,with their endless self-obsession .Aside from the Turkish P.M and the Pope ,nobody gives a shit.
48. A REALITY CHECK
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (06.03.10)
A much needed reality check .After 1967 six -day -war ,the entire world applauded and greatly admired Israel .Instead of booting out the muslim occupiers from our sacred Temple mount ,the one -eyed twit Moshe Dayan handed the keys to the loser muslims ,who thought he was a complete cunt. Israel pissed its gains up the wall and rapidly lost the respect of the nations. Attacking ships with paintballs is not going to earn you universal love nor admiration .
49. To Shlomo the Homo (# 20)
Amir the Queer ,   Beirut   (06.03.10)
The jig is up, fool. Your name isn't Shlomo. You're not Jewish. And you're not in Tel-Aviv. You're nothing but another Muslim terrorist-supporter using this forum to provoke Jews. Get a life, idiot.
50. NATURE ABHORS A VACUUM
ALBERT EINSTEIN ,   GENEVA ,SOMEWHERE   (06.03.10)
Nature abhors a vacuum ,even a vacuum cleaner .Those genius Israelis ,who after all know it all , destroyed many synagogues in Gush Katif ,Gaza .Where there was once light and holiness ,there is now darkness and evil .Israel threw out Good light and imported darkness .E=MC2 (it is all relative to the relativity)
51. WILL THE BODYGUARDS BE ARMED
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (06.03.10)
With those new Paintball guns??? They are really cool (if you are a five-year-old) .Anyway ,please tell Chinaboy not to worry ,he really isn't that important.
52. Not the whole world
yeshuafollower ,   Reno USA   (06.04.10)
Bible-believing, born-again Christians are always pro-Israel. It's impossible to be a born-again Christian without loving Israel. As for the rest of the world's hatred, that's a just prophetic event foretold by your (Jewish) prophets of old.
53. #16 Really? The police killed there 9 hooligans?
Albrecht ,   P.O.   (06.04.10)
And the policemen were afterwarts celebrated as heroes? When? Where? You tell stories. The police in Europe has to fight every week such "enemys". But they are professionals and represent civilized societys.
54. Israel did what any nation of the world would do.
Lee ,   Manchester UK   (06.04.10)
it would be breaking int'l law to do otherwise.
55. To the bigots, and morons who hate Israel
Mahlon Drumgoole ,   Newark NJ   (06.04.10)
Unfortunately, the nature of man continues to be flawed. During the middle ages, The Inquisition was enthusiaastically supported by the population. Non-believers were tortured and burned at the stake if they didn't convert and all kinds of horrific crimes were committed in the name of justice. Similarly, during the nazi reign, millions of innocents (Jews,Gypsies, Slavs, Poles etc) were murdered because the German people willed it and fought to the death to save their regime. Now, most so-called enlightened people hypocritically react with disgust and horror at the depravities of the Inquisition and the nazi crimes against humanity. But most of the world is full of it and continues their support of evil. Only Israel is not allowed self-defense and is condemned fofr actions that any other self-respecting state would have done years ago. Apparently, the mental affliction called antisemitism is even stronger than the will to survive as the Europeans would joyously celebrate the end of the Jewish State.
56. gentiles make me laugh!!!

why dont you ever say what is really on your heart. hint chosen people
57. World Always against us.
Aron ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.04.10)
Dear MR.President The activists which demonstrating against the State Of Israel are Jews haters regardless of Israel's actions, however the silent majority are pro-Israel as you will examine the latest Polls, in USA 63% of American public and Internationally Israel has a 61% in favor. Long Live Israel. Aron
58. You Old Fool
Jew Lover who is ,   Canada   (06.04.10)
You are an embrassement, to Jews, to Humanity and to the Universe. Dig deeper, as Nathanyahu does, and a hole will open up through the CORE of the Earth and you will emerge victorious on the other side of the PLANET. Ole tricks of ... does not work anymore. SHame on YOU.
59. #35 - Dino Domingo
Shaul R ,   USA   (06.04.10)
You avoided responding to Wade's point which you quoted about Marmara being the only ship out of six where violence took place. You said "why would you attempt to attack without using all the means possible first to prevent a fight and not jump out like a bunch of GI Joe's (sic.)" I realize that you must know more than the Naval commanders in charge of the operation, certainly more than I do. Please elaborate what those methods are, besides repeated warnings, offers of alternative means of transporting cargo, all that failing, landing lightly armed personnel to negotiate and conduct a search. There are videos from AlJazeera (hardly an Israeli propagfanda tool) that show the "peace activists" chanting "Remember Khaibar Jews, Mohammad's army is returning", interviews with "peace activists" stating that they prefer martyrdom to aid delivery, video on youtube, shot by the ship's security cameras, that shows "peace activists" handing out weapons in preparation for boarding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HZlSSaPT_OU) . There is a video shot from aboard Marmara showing "peace activists" wielding chains and metal bars, throwing boxes of plates and stun grenades at commandos who are crouching in a RIB tender and not responding (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6sAEYpHF24&feature=related). Unless you dismiss all Israeli evidence as lies and propaganda, while taking all Arab statements at face value, you cannot insist that these people were not out to provoke confrontation ("Yeah, maybe they were looking for a confrontation although I highly doubt it..." sic.) How do you distinguish between trained fighters and "average extremists primitively fighting for their cause" (whatever that means - is it the extremists who just want to enjoy life and raise their children in peace and do some primitive fighting in their spare time?) You say "If there was even 1 known terrorist or affiliate don't you think the Israelis would have kept them???" It is an extremely difficult and time-consuming process to identify foreign nationals who are not carrying documents, which these "peace activists" weren't, by biometric data alone, without cooperation from their respective governments. As US pressured Israel to immediately release all the Marmara passengers (a HUGE mistake, IMHO), none could have been detained until positive ID. I assume that Israel has collected all the biometric data during the interrogations and will be attempting to identify any known terrorists in the days to come. But the bottom line is this: all this, including the "suffering of Gaza" can be prevented by Hamas dropping the genocidal clauses of their founding charter and pledging peace and recognition. To insist that Israel has to somehow jump through all the hoops and offer endless concessions, while ignoring the real 10 ton gorilla in the room (Hamas's genocidal intentions against Jews of the ME) is to condone such intentions.
