1. " They were greeted with chants Allahu Akbar"...
Paul ,   USA   (06.06.10)
That sounds familiar - usually before some type of murderous act is committed.
2. Cuba? Champion of human rights! LOL
Cynic ,   USA   (06.06.10)
3. Rachel Corrie supporters will be encouraged by this...
Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (06.06.10)
"... 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 Yep, these phony "humanitarians" are not doing this to help the poor Gazans, they simply hate Israel. If they wanted to help Gaza, they'd actually open their mouths and try to help Gazans escape the jackboots of Hamas. But no, they much prefer to help the Islamofascists in the war against Israel. Yes, war. And yes, they're simply enemy agents in the battle. Human rights? Not these folks...
4. Free Gaza from Hamas
Yael ,   Tel Aviv   (06.06.10)
and then we'll talk. People are focusing on the wrong occupier here. Why is it that no one mentions the terror of Hamas to the Palestinians and the Israelis. You can't reason with terrorists and Israel seems to be the only nation in the world to truly understand this.
5. Dear Greta
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.06.10)
Dear Greta Berlin! I hope that before our lives end, you will hear this chanting (allahu akbar) on your backyard, and a I sincerely hope that you will be delighted, again! I hope that Europe will thank you one day for your role in supporting the Islam terrorism..
6. So finally they admt!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (06.06.10)
"...They did not use force with us. There was no necessity to use force against us...." So, these activists admit that THERE WAS NEED TO USE FORCE with the "activists" on the Marmara! As the facts surface, in a few more days the whole world will know clearly that the IDF once again acted morally. Those Turks who attacked the commandos were indeed criminal mercenaries as the pile of money found on them proves it.
7. GAZANS ELECTED HAMAS
steve ,   Israel   (06.06.10)
And then threw their "brothers" off rooftops. With democracy comes responsibility. Deal with it.
8. "Gazans deserve to live like everyone else"
William ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
To do so - Gazans must also adhere to obligations of good global citizenship...like everyone else. When Israelis are able to live free like everyone else, the Gazans will too.
9. The World is Comming
Steve ,   Dublin, Ireland   (06.07.10)
Freedom for all Soon. Time to call off the IDF bloggers they are doing more harm than good.
10. WAIT...Malaysian nationals??
Also genius   (06.07.10)
And they want to show how barbaric ISRAEL is??? What about malaysia's lovely human rights..oops, I mean non-human rights record. Yet more islumists (sic..or is that sick?) trying to obfuscate their own lack of human rights/their racism/their islumism....just gross. Go fix your crappy country before travelling to a Jewish land.
11. no. 6 is confused
phil   (06.07.10)
Maurice.. this article is about the people on the rachel corrie and their quotes refer to that and not the mavi marmara.. you don't don anyone any good if you can't even bother to read the article before commenting
12. Time #9
John ,   Herzliya, Israel   (06.07.10)
And when (in your personal opinion) will come the time to call off the pro-terrorist bloggers?
13. MALAYSIA
BENJAMIN ,   SINGAPORE   (06.07.10)
THE MALAYSIAN ACTIVIST, SHOULD LOOK AT THEIR OWN COUNTRY AND ASK ONE QUESTION AS WELL. WHAT ARE THE POSITION OF THE MINORITIES IN MALAYSIA - THE INDIANS AND CHINESE ? THE MALAYSIAN POLICE MURDERED SO MANY MINORITIES IN THIER LOCK UP ? I AM SURE THESE MALAYSIAN ACTIVIST COULD SHOW SOME OF THE ACTIVIST ACTION THERE IN MALAYSIA FIRST ?

Ahyar Haqi ,   jakarta indonesia   (06.07.10)

15. You didn't fail, you are a Failure....
Ariel   (06.07.10)
You can't brake Israel's decision to defense israeli citizens/ You are provocators only///
16. you remind me... Dear I'm comming, I'm comming....
Ariel   (06.07.10)
You can't provoke and hide yourself behind lies for a long time. Now the provocators lies are being exposed worldwide and pictures clearly show them as violent trained agitators stabbing soldiers that were expecting pacifists. Now you cry about the 9 death! you shouldn't come all the way to provoke if you are really sorrowed! Try to do the same against any non-democratic country and they would sink the boats.
17. Rachel Corrie
Victor O. Teves ,   Iligan City, philipp   (06.07.10)
June 7, 2010 My God, six Filipinos were in Rachel Corrie? They should have been thrown to water so that we would have six less leftists here in our country. Vic Teves Philippines
18. Take cover!
nVo ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (06.07.10)
When greeted with chants of 'Allahu Akbar (God is great)', immediately take cover because the next thing you are going to hear and feel is a tremendous explosion when one of those kooks blows themselves up, thinking they will go to heaven.
19. End the blockade...
Mark Kleiman ,   Florida, USA   (06.07.10)
REBUILD Gush Katif!
20. To # 9 Steve , Dublin, Ireland
Dave ,   Bs.Aires-Argentina   (06.07.10)
Hey Irish buddy, are you drinking a lot today ? I'm a talkbacker and I AM NOT and IDF Soldier - REALLY I'm a proud Argentinian Citizen, with NO RELATIONSHIP with the IDF. So, before posting fake statements (Like that the T.Backers here are all members of the IDF) , please put your brain at work, and DO NOT allow the alcohol to numb your thinking (If you have one ....) BTW- May be you need to meet with a Psychiatric Doctor, to try to cure your grave illness, the Anti-Jew / Anti-Israel sentiment.
21. #9 - "the world is coming", through Ben Gurion, that is
William ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
But not through a gaza point of entry any time soon. While you're at it, be sure to being "freedom for all" in Tibet, Darfur, Burma, North Korea, Venezuela, Zimbabwe, Congo, Libya, Iran, Iraq, Syria, Kurdistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, etc. They've certainly been waiting a much longer time for their "aid" ship and even a mention in the news.
22. Steve from Dublin
Farfurfan ,   farfurstan   (06.07.10)
I see that you are enjoying your moment of glory, gloating at the head of angry mob. "the world is coming" indeed... Steve, we have seen this time and again: the torches are lit and the villagers are screaming for our blood. Of course, "everyone" knows the we Jews like to eat babies. "Used to think that Jews were nice people, but now that my cow died and son failed the math test, we ALL see their true evil nature..." Oh yes, and this one "since we all know that all the world hates you, it MUST be your fault!" Mob rules, Steve!
23. You failed and you will continue to fail!!
Israeli 2   (06.07.10)
24. Out of Boats Yet?
Roy ,   USA   (06.07.10)
Eventually, you dumb--- leftists are going to run out of boats. You can continue this foolishness until time ends; you will NEVER, EVER defeat Israel with your misguided stupidity!
25. More Appeasement
Ralph Levy ,   USA   (06.07.10)
Any board of inquiry would be a kangaroo court. Israel made one mistake that no country should make. Israel has to stop apologizing for every action, and she has got to stop making concessions and getting nothing in return. The building freeze was probably the greatest mistake that Bibi has made during his tenure. Israel has become the laughingstock of the world because Israel would not stand up and defend herself. People like Peres Olmert Livni and Ehud Barak has done more to damage Israel's deterrence factor than any other leaders in the history of Israel. Israel should immediately get back to deterrence factor and respect for other nations by doing the following. Refuse to go back to the peace talks. Israel should also attempt to replace the government of Jordan and make it into a Palestinian state since 80% of the population is Palestinian anyway. Israel should also create a public policy of mutual assured destruction designed to protect Israel and the Jewish people from destruction and threat. That policy would be design against any country that threatens to destroy Israel either militarily, economically, or physically. The same policy would be used to protect the Jewish population in any country of the world so that there is never any possibility of another holocaust. Again I stress that Israel must not succumb to pressures of the outside world for a international inquiry. No other country the world is being held in the highest standard. It would only invite more pressure on Israel, invite another war, and would only be a kangaroo court. http://ralphsrant1.blogspot.com
26. Who will sail to aid Gilad Shaliet?
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (06.07.10)
27. Turkey occupies Northern Cyprus. When will Turkey
Avigdor Ezrahi ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
cease its occupation and permit the Greek residents of that part of the island to return to their homes and properties?
28. Activists
roxie ,   Israel   (06.07.10)
Instead of worrying about Gaza and the "starving people there" what about the poor starving people in your own countries that don't have homes or food? What about the children in Subsaharan Africa starving,or the Kurdish children ,. Ethopeans,impoverished Indian people? Dafur? Those people truly need your help...Not the Palestinians who incidently get Millions upon Millions of Dollars in Aid from the EU,USA and where does that money go to???? What about the billions that Arafat STOLE from his people,so that his wife can live it up in Europe,while his people struggle herebecause of the corruption in the PA and Gaza!
29. #9 Nice try, "Steve"
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (06.07.10)
Or should I say, Samih? What kind of an Irishman cannot even spell the simple word "coming" correctly? Answer: either a real thick Irishman, or more likely, a Muslim immigrant.
30. G-d bless Israel!
Yochanan ,   US   (06.07.10)
