Gavriel ,   Budapest/Hungary   (06.21.10)
Stuped shit people lives is Oakland also. They should be in a big silent in the country they live, or they should go back to gaza or libanon. They are the only idiots whom doing it, canada should fuck them out from the country.
32. donkey action
jayampathi de silva ,   sri lanka   (06.21.10)
cargo blocking is clearly one sided action. this idiots must protest against the expelling of millions of Israelis from Arab lands during the struggle of independence in 1948.! if this people are not blind and deaf they must knew about hamas deadly rocket attacks that killed more than 1000 people in Israel up to now!! let them protest against Syrian and irans cargo too. coz they are the suppliers of rockets to hamas!!!
33. But slaughtering yeshiva students is ok with them.....
David ,   Hartford USA   (06.21.10)
I hope the FBI took down all their license plates and will cross check them with terror suspects and supporters. Yes, even in America there are douche bags. Notice the covered faces- the 'Palestinian' uniform is coming to the USA.
34. California is immigrant land, muslims, jews, mexicans, all

35. Jew-Hate Festival in Oakland, how unique
David P. ,   Capitola, CA   (06.21.10)
with a few self loathers in there to make it appear less anti-semitic
36. Why the masks
Jackie ,   Florida   (06.21.10)
If they were not backed by Arab money and were probably mostly Arabs themselves, why did they cover their faces? As I recall picket lines from my youth, the people on them were proud to stand by each other. But these men must either not be union members or else are ashamed to be seen doing this.
37. WAKE UP AMERICA !
melville ,   London   (06.21.10)
That's how it all started in Europe ! Muslim demonstrations, then violence, then terorism.. Supported by extreme left-wing useful idiots! Now it's too late in invaded Europe... Where was the police, where were the true Americans ? WAKE UP !
38. 25 - what do arabs have to do with your comment?
mike ,   israel (formerly usa   (06.21.10)
you mention afghans and kurds (who are not arabs). not seeing your point.
39. Don't forget 9/11 guys
Danielle   (06.21.10)
The people demonstrating are those who live on social welfare the have much time for their stupidity. However they did not even 0.0000000000001% of the American people that love Israel as we like them. Maybe they needed to project a large screen and show the collapse of the twin buildings bythe same people who raised on Koran to hate Christians and Jews, the same people that killed 3,000 people in NY in cold blood, or maybe we should show them the celebration in Gaza because of the twin buildings collapsing here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-9JpRytCx0&feature=related Or- Don't forget 9/11 guys" here: http://www.ynetnews.com/articles/0,7340,L-3899131,00.html Saudi Professor: America Will be Destroyed!

40. #34 Actually, California is populated mostly by Armenians.
Jamie ,   California   (06.21.10)
Until now, Armenians have always been anti-Semitic and anti-Israeli. They wierdly believe that Turks who deported them in 1915 were Jews from Thessaloniki. Armenians contributed to Nazis during WWII. They also detest Israel because Israel doesn't recognize Armenian issue as genocide. Most historians who writes on this issue and argue that it was not genocide are actually Jewish. They prove that Turks, Kurds, Circussians and Jews all suffered from Armenian terrorism for decades in 1890s-1920s. One Jewish academic was attacked twice with bombs by Armenian terrorists in California. Funny enough, now Armenians are trying to change sides and ally with Israel against Turkey. So, they keep their anti-Semitism quiet these days.
41. No Doubt .. the ship contained arms and munitions..
insaf ,   Rio, Brazil   (06.21.10)
"No Doubt .. the ship contained arms and munitions.. " Your mother told u that?! Severe the umbilical cord and u will see things clearer.
42. Islamo-Marxist alliance at work
insaf ,   Riao, Brazil   (06.21.10)
Girl, severe the umbilical cord and you vision will improve tenfold! Your time is coming!!!!
43. #39- No one's forgetting 9/11.
lara ,   Australia   (06.21.10)
"We are benefiting from one thing, and that is the attack on the Twin Towers and Pentagon, and the American struggle in Iraq," Ma'ariv quoted the former prime minister as saying. He reportedly added that these events "swung American public opinion in our favor." Try to work out who said that.
44. #12 - you don't know the alternative if ships weren't stoppe
William ,   Israel   (06.21.10)
Consider this - what if Israel did not stop the illegal flotilla. 1) perhaps there were weapons on the ship that was purposely blocking attempts to have its cargo examined. 2) it would send a clear message that even when Israel has the legal right to anything, it won't act, thereby inviting more flotillas and more attempts to smuggle in weapons and cash. 3) if the siege wasn't even worth enforcing, wouldn't a growing call against anything Israel does and is appear, resulting in more protests, more claim of delegitimacy, and essentially the global acceptance that a terrorist group has the right to arm themselves and commit daily war crimes on a UN State? It's lonely at the top and sometimes doing the right thing means isolation. Jews were chose to stay Jewish rather than convert to Christianity were tortured and killed. Christian clergy who dared speak out about the crimes of the Nazis in Germany were tortured and killed. People like Gailieo also suffered isolation and threats to their safety.
45. #15 - even if, it's not illegal for Israel to import/export
William ,   Israel   (06.21.10)
yet there are sanctions against Iran, North Korea, and a universal agreement that Hamas as a terrorist group should NOT be receiving weapons which could result in war crimes against Israelis and "Palestinians" alike. Big difference.
46. #43 - try to guess what the context was
William ,   Israel   (06.21.10)
Nice sound bite - cut just enough to support your agenda. What's the context? It was said on the basis that now nations outside of Israel know what Muslim terror looks like and how deeply disturbing and wide-reaching it is. In other words, it woke up a sleeping, docile world. Key point - the past PM never said he was happy that it happened, only that it shows the world the war this has arrived, and Israel has warned them about for decades. Just after 9/11 - Arabs in many cities were celebrating, shooting guns, and handing out candies....especially among "Palestinians". At the same time, Israelis lined up in cities all over the country to donate blood. See how important context is...you putz?
47. Ben #2 - We go to work every day
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.21.10)
We are peaceful productive people. We go to work as doctors, lawyers, engineers, businessman, clerks, caterers etc. We contribute to humanity in productive work. unlike some who only destroy and as you can see from the picture most of them they hide their faces with scarves.
48. :: #43 Liar, you give lip service, then disregard it
Matty Groves ,   Fairport   (06.21.10)
LIAR, LIAR, PANTS ON FIRE
49. Demonstators against Israel
Grant Thomas ,   USA   (06.21.10)
The media rarely points out that the people who demonstrate against all things Israel are generally Arabs and Muslims. They are to be ignored for their extreme views and ignorance!
50. They really should spend more time in school
William ,   Israel   (06.21.10)
The protesters claimed they blocked the ZIM ship from being unloaded for "24 hours". Yet, they were only there in the morning and afternoon. This is a 24/7 shipyard and there are 3 shifts. Which means, they only blocked the ship for 16 hours, not 24. It seems they need to spend more time in their school rather than the half-assed protests that occupy their time. They truly need the education...or to step aside and let a person who needs/deserves it to take their place.
51. Josh - they are midlle easter
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.21.10)
If you listened to the video you will hear the accent. I think the man with the bull horn is Turkish (based on his accent- I am originally from Turkey I know) The man holding a sign with the bead is Arab no doubt. San Francisco has a considerable Arab community. In fact Saeb Erakat is from San Francisco.
52. actually, he's palestinian and married to a JEW
observer ,   oakland, ca   (06.21.10)
the man on the bullhorn that is. his name is eyad kishawi and his wife's name is emily katz. so put that in your pipe and smoke it.
53. Observer - thank you
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (06.21.10)
you made my point he is not Anglo Saxon as someone had suggested, he is a Palestinian Arab.
54. #43- and the 5 mossad agents arrested?
lara ,   Australia   (06.22.10)
The quote was obtained from an Israeli news article. I didn't use Arab news as that would be bias. Regardless of context its an awful thing to say. Context only means anything when people understand it. And the context in which Arabs say things is often lost in translation. But no one ever questions it and I often stuggle to find anything in Arabic which remotely resembles the Ynet quotes in their articles. My point was that Israel is benefiting from it and someone decided point out an event from 9 years ago which has resulted in the death of hundreds of thousands in Iraq who had no ties to the event.
