If Iran was serious about running the blockade they would send more than one ship. Obviously they want more global incitement against Israel. If the ship turns tail and runs let them. If they persist the world knows you have the right to board and inspect it. Iran and Hamas declare their hatred of Israel and the risk that Iran is attempting to resupply Hamas is to great to ignore.

Is this the Iranian word for weapons?

SPOT ON! O how I wish there were more like you with Chokmah, and less meshugga like #1, Resistor.

.......we stand with you. Long live Israel. Your Moshiach is at the door.

Or does hatred of Israel trump all? We (Europe) are choosing our own destruction. This is the age of nukes, we cannot afford such mistakes. I take comfort in the knowledge that the universe is huge, and as we selfdestruct because we prefer hatred for Jews over reacting to threats, somewhere another civilization will continue to seek for answers which really matter. It could have been us, but we just wanted to hate jews instead.

Just send commandoes to disable the engines. Then tow or tug the helpless vessels to Ashdod, offload the goods, check for weapons, and deliver the aid through the usual channels.

Resistor: Are these the same Iranian angels of mercy who, in the name of Allah, beat & shoot Tehran freedom demonstrators to death, torture Iranian dissidents in Sevin Prison, threaten Israel with a nuclear holocaust, and execute criminals variously by stoning, slow hanging, etc.? I suppose if they run into trouble trying to run the blockade, which is designed to keep out more Iranian smuggling of weaponry into Gaza, they can make a call to Hezbollah in Lebanon and see if they'll start those 40000 rockets on their way to civilian locales in Israel (they won't). Flash & ash, you say? I say barrages of stun grenades, tear gas and other non-lethal crowd control means used against these would-be angels of death will stop them peacefully enough, and atomic weapons against Tehran won't be necessary at all.

Now if someone over there would just convince Ahmadinejad and the Revolutionary Guard to board the vessel and sail into territorial waters we could have a few guests for Davy Jones locker.

Iran should check the history of Israel and know that they will defend themselves - at all cost.. NEVER AGAIN MASADA
