1. u mean like "help me please .. i cannt kill more people"
Jalal the wise man ,   Gaza   (06.25.10)

2. Delegating on security maters is way too risky
Joe ,   Canada   (06.25.10)
Israel might gain favor from the West in delegating ship searches but it would give a propaganda advantage to Hamas. And it would certainly weaken the security of Israel as experience has many times shown the failure of such exercizes, One has just to remember the fate of the international observers at Gaza border & the the UNIFIL army unable to prevent the most serious violations of the UN security council resolutions in Lebanon. Or look at the inability of multinational fleets to stop piracy commited by the Somalis. As long as Iran (& its supporters) remains a mortal ennemy, there is no substitute to the most strict oversight by Israel the only party that has a vital interest in doing the job as it should be. Based on what has happened with UNIFIl we know that if the conditions on the ground are too tough to handle the UN & the military staff will disregard or give new interpretations to resolutions so as to avoid any risk to itself. If the ship organizers were to find new ways to transport dangerous materials not covered in the minutia of the rules of operation of the UN you would need months of negotiations to correct a new loophole in the searches.
3. To Jalal
shoshanna ,   tel aviv   (06.25.10)
Jalal, no-one owes you anything.Get off your butt and start working.If Palestinians had a work ethic,and if they educated their children to work then they wouldn't be in this mess. Same with Saudi and other Arab oil states.If Gazans had used the hothouses and the infrastructure left behind when Israel pulled out of Gaza instead of making and firing Kassams at Israel, there would gave been an economy in Gaza now and Gaza wouldn't be a basket case relying on aid and donations which the PLO and Hamas steal for themselves. So get off your butt and start studying or working.The rest of the world does so .Why can't Palestinians?
4. You mean, like the world "helped us" in Lebanon?
Michael Steiner ,   Bahrain   (06.25.10)
7izballah is transporting heavy weapons and munitions in full view of everybody, including the U'N' that is supposed to be there to prevent it. If you want a job to be done well, do it yourself. Holds true in this context.
5. No one who is truly "wise", Jalal, would
Robert Haymond ,   Israel/Canada   (06.25.10)
ever brag about it as you do. Wise men and woman are humble. They would never call themselves "wise". You lack all credibility.
6. inspections by combined force
Robert ,   South Africa   (06.25.10)
This makes sence.
7. #1 "Wait and see".
Janice Cohen ,   ירושלים   (06.25.10)
We've been hearing the same idiotic nonsense for 62 years. With slogans like that, it's no wonder you guys will be forever stuck in the mud.
8. NO NO AND NO !!!.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (06.25.10)
IT IS WRITTEN - "A MASTER DOES EVEYTHING HIMSELF" !!!. THE MORE INTERNATIONAL INTEVENTION IN ISRAELI AFFAIRS, THE MORE ISRAEL WILL LOOSE HER FREEDOM OF SELFRULE AND INITIATIVE. ONE SHOULD NOT LET OTHERS DO WHAT ONE CAN DO ONESELF,, THIS IS THE WAY OF JEHOVAH ALSO. JEHOVAH WILL NOT DO FOR YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO YOURSELF. AND WHY SHOULD ISRAEL SET THE INTERNATIONAL COMUNITY BETWEEN HERSELF, AND JEHOVAH. THAN ISRAEL WILL BECOME THE TAIL AND NOT THE HEAD. Arn.
9. Guy Bechor - What planet are you from ?
DT ,   TA Israel   (06.25.10)
The only international "help" Israel will experience will be for the benefit of it's enemies. Perhaps you have not heard of the UN, EU, the Quartet ? When have they EVER done anything for Israel ?
10. Silly article!
Salma ,   Palestine   (06.25.10)
Mr. Guy Bechor thinking is very limited ,open you mind Sir !
11. good idea
Mahmoud A. ,   Teheran, I.R.I.   (06.25.10)
We should repeat the success of UN 1701.
12. #3
keith m   (06.25.10)
Shoshanna - no-one owes Jewish people anything anymore either. May as well give back that land that you and your like were given for free..
13. NR 5.
Arn. ,   SWEDEN.   (06.25.10)
EXACTLY - !!!. THE DO NOT EVEN KNOW THEY ARE WISE. GOD BLESS !!!. Arn.
14. You ask for an international help?
AK   (06.26.10)
How naive are you. Don't you know that Israel's neighbors don't have to shoot right now to destroy Israel; they and the West are joining forces and the wolves out there, the so called international community is again ready to taste the Jewish blood. Look at the comments to any article about Israel, Jews or both, in any paper around the world ; they are full of open hate. Antisemitism is in vogue again and there is no need to hide it. This hate has nothing to do with Gaza, ports, hunger. Foreget about international help. In1967 the UN forces in Sinai obliged Nasser and left leaving Israel exposed to be attacked. Only extremely naive Jews would put his faith in 'international community.' I suggest making the cost of any attack, military or political, so unthinkable, that the enemy flinches. The lives of Israeli Jews and all Jews around the world depend on it. But Israeli leaders have no guts, no determination; just hope that maybe they will not be put on the last train.

Jonathan   (06.26.10)
Gaza is certainly on the right track! Keep up the good work. Such a sad joke!
16. "Let the world help us "
Harry ,   Jerusalem   (06.26.10)
finish ourselves off. WE DO NOT NEED THE WORLD. We have to live in this World as JEWS. Jews who have a Torah given by G-d, in the hoping we will be a TRUE LIGHT upon the World.
17. You mention borders?
Jayson ,   San Francisco USA   (06.26.10)
Guy Bechor writes of Israel's borders. Tell us, please, Mr. Bechor, where are Israel's borders?
18. What a joke!
sk ,   USA   (06.27.10)
"How is it that all of Israel’s borders are quiet and stable, while only the sea rages with various flotillas?" Uh, Israel's borders are actively being fortified by the enemy for upcoming attacks and eventually a full-fledged war. How can Ynet even print this nonsense?

sjoerd vander velde ,   hoorn-the netherland   (07.04.10)
