finally the readers and posters have understood. it is not the useles - for existant in gaza- "humanitarian goods- it's about public relations and interviews. there is no mention of toys in the cargo list. i doubt very much that the organisers of this circus really believe what they tell the press or are only out for a little adventure. bring your goods to ashdod and every thing besides the cemrnt will be delivered . 100 trucks cross daily into gaza abd you really think you make a difference?

All the material was NOT delibered to the people yet! Why? The Hamas is holding it! The supplies include medicines that are "expired" over a year ago! Is this a humanitarian aid?

Since the only way that the boat could get to Gaza would be by teleportation, we can expect to pick up radio signals similar to, "Beam us up Scotty". What a bunch of losers these people are! I half expect the ship's propeller to get caught up in a fishing net and to see the IDF towing it into Ashdod. Mike

"... the [Goldstone] report contains the clearest finding that Hamas and other militant Palestinian groups committed serious war crimes and possibly crimes against humanity. The acceptance of those findings by the Human Rights Council and the General Assembly has been ignored completely..." Richard Goldstone, Interviewed by Ha'aretz, Nov 13 2009

Since all failures can be blamed on Israel and the Mossad HAMAS does have any moral restraint, and they have perfected SUICIDE to an art all the way from the individual to their nationalist favorite past time, HAMAS may well make this a suicide mission and blow up the ship knowing that the world will blame Israel. The will be no way that Israel can prove that they didn't do it. They will simply capitalize on the prevailing sentiment against Israel in this Flotilla affair and try to gain more support. Bibi needs Sharon's brilliance. His posture is correct but he just doesn't have the brilliance and cunning required for this situation.

This time Israel should hold the activists in a holding facility outside of Sderot. They should not be released until Shalit is released and in the weeks and months, they activists will learn what the Blockade is about as the experience the rockets falling all about them. They should also have "field trips" to see the terrorist attack sites and victims. They should also not be allowed any visitation until the Red Cross visits Shalit. They need to learn what the real issues are and not the fabricated stories and fictions that HAMAS feeds them to reinforce their inherent anti-Semitic postures and perceptions.

The Yemen Government has an on-going blockade against a political rival. They are not allowing WATER, MEDICINE, FOOD, MEDIA to enter. Thousands of poeple will be dead within a couple of weeks! The Muslims murdered 9o co-religionists in a mosque, The world didn't flinch! Russia just shot dead 24 handcuffed Somali pirates. The world yawned and went back to sleep or about its 'important' affairs. Netanyahu, it is time to announce to the world that ALL vessels that try to go to Hamas are considered war-time enemies and will be bombed! Then, nobody can blame Israel. The policy is understood in advance. Enter at your own peril!

I'm with you! Let that cursed ship get within Israeli waters, give the rats infesting it fair warning and then blow it to kingdom come!

Hey Ari, we cant help you with your question. Send it to www.hamas.com

Alan there are loads of Irish thugs who would just love to show their solidarity with the poor starving Gazans !!!

Didn't you people always stress that this is a humanitarian effort to ease the suffering of the Palestinians? So, why would an aid ship need an accompanying boat with the press? Maybe because this boat really isn't about humanitarianism, and has much more to do with provocation, and making Israel look bad to the world?

Viva Rachel Corrie......? Thats a funny one ! Did u think it over before hitting the submit button?

Humanitarian peace activists will undoubtedly report soon that the toilets are backing up on the love boat-another dastardly act of the infamous Mossad.

We know that Judge Goldstone has 4 pages on Hamas crimes. The rest is for the Israeli thugs!

1) Where's all the money you looted from your so called "activist" organization? 2) Why did your first Jihadi husband leave you? 3) Which one of the Jihadi terrorists on the last "love boat" were you shagging?

Nice weather this time of year. It's better than Gaza which always has Bomby weather. Let them pay their own way home with a one way ticket.

and have a great Shabbat

...there will be more, many more. World attention will be focused on Israel’s barbaric treatment of the Palestinian People until such time as the Palestinian are free. Until the Palestinian are freed Israel will never be accepted as a nation of this world.

Before these big mouths see gaza with thier ship there will be a war. Israel must sink these attacking leftest terrorists NO MERCY Let whoever in the world hypocracy wants to cry we will supply tissues to wipe the crocidile tears. Meantime the fish will have fresh food.

I do not want to go into any discussions with you any more. You know everything the best. Can I just give you a little look into the future? Boats will come and will come and (as you hope) they will break the blockade. They will bring rockets to Hamas. Hamas will start shooting them to Israel, Israel will respond with new military action. And this will help a lot to people in Gaza. But this does not bother "pissnicks" all over the world..

let the ships into Gaza, then slap them with "quarantine" orders let them sit there for 2-3 months (confined to the ships of course)

<... is clearly trying to salvage its dignity> What? Like you are after your were proven to be a fraud? You stated your “13 yr old” son was killed at the Sbarro Pizzeria bombing in 2001. I have the links to the previous threads where you state this. Here is a list of the victims from this attack along with their ages: 1. Giora Balash, 60 2. Zvika Golombek, 26 3. Shoshana Yehudit Greenbaum, 31 4. Tehila Maoz, 18 5. Frieda Mendelsohn, 62 6. Michal Raziel, 16 7. Malka Chana (Malki) Roth, 15 8. Mordechai Schijveschuurder, 43 9. Tzira Schijveschuurder, 41 10. Ra'aya Schijveschuurder, 14 ` 11. Avraham Yitzhak Schijveschuurder, 4 12. Hemda Schijveschuurder, 2 13. Lily Shimashvili, 33 14. Tamara Shimashvili, 8 15. Yocheved Shoshan, 10 Show me a 13 yr old male victim? Come on Sarah B stand by your lie.

Matty, you are partially correct. Israel can never be accepted as a nation of this world under any circumstances. The Hebrew nation was routed by the Romans in 135 AD as a tangible manifestation of God's anger for the Crucifixion. The modern Hebrews took back their land by military and political means, thereby flouting the will of God. Thus the state has no legitimacy whatsoever.

It's not preferred that Israel have to be the ones to intercept these flotillas and be challenged at sea. There's a protocol that's been deemed acceptable by Israel. So long as it doesn't get overwhelming and so long as it would still stand, in an effort to keep confrontation at sea, if other countries naval vessels would be able to coordinate and escort these flotillas into acceptable Israeli ports, that may not be a bad idea. Things need to be worked out somehow before any ships can sail straight into Gaza ports. As long as the aid gets to Gaza, it really shouldn't matter where it's disembarked. It would be hoped for that the organizers of these flotillas would understand this. And then, the latest, Gaza's not accepting it like that. Do they really need it if they're not accepting it? And, as an added extra note, Gilad Shalit is innocent and should be released.

Great solution let them set there for years....... Quarantine the food water and medicine ,,,,coming true from Israel ...
