1. Libyan Ship to Gaza
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (07.09.10)
Sending "a number of supporters". Don't be fooled - these are terrorists. Be prepared.
2. This will be our first opportunity to see a Libyan ship in
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (07.09.10)
the port of Ashdod, Israel, and on it, law breakers from the Muslim-Arab dictatorship of Libya. Wonderful! I look forward to see them taken down in handcuffs to a Jewish prison!!!
3. Lockerbie Bombing
Coen   (07.09.10)
August 2003 Libya formally admitted responsibility (but did not admit guilt) for Pan Am Flight 103 terror attack named by the media as the Lockerbie Bombing.
4. Darfur
Arturo   (07.09.10)
You could save a bit of fuel by heading to Darfur, where humanitarian aid is REALLY needed. What's that you say Muhamar? When arabs commit genocide it's OK?
5. LIBYA SHIP
TAHRIR QUDS ALYAHUDI   (07.09.10)
Arrest everyone and put them on trial. If found guilty put them in jail and confiscate the ship
6. HOPE ISRAEL WILL BE WISE ENOUGH TO AVOID ANOTHER ...........
Singer ,   SINGAPORE   (07.09.10)
STUPID ACT THIS TIME !
7. Just Check Ship if all load is civilian aid and let go !
Tayfun_Turkey ,   Istanbul   (07.09.10)
A civilian country, under war with Hamas or a region, like Gaza-Israel may claim right to check if there is military equipment in Ship but if there are none just let ship go and deliver civilian goods unload in Gaza. That is the only civilan way approved by rest of the world.
8. charity
debbie ,   israel   (07.09.10)
Here come the Great Libyan Humanitarians, who treated the world to Lockerbie, the horrific slaughter of hundreds of innocent, men, women, children and babies. If it weren't so sick, it would be funny. Where were the Libyans all these years, with their billions of dollars - they could have removed the Palistinian "refugees" from their camps many years ago, and set them all up in villas and businesses. I find it extremely hard to believe, that suddenly they are so sympathetic toward the Gazans. I would venture a guess that this is a malicious outright attempt to embarrass and taunt Israel. They haven't ever lifted a finger to help the Palestinians.
9. Hope with any luck it will sink
Lioness ,   Israel   (07.09.10)

11. A day late and a buck short, as usual.
Allan ,   Ft. Lauderdale   (07.09.10)
Will someone please explain to the lunatics in Lybia that the party is over. If they try to pull a Marmara they will be sent to meet Poseidon.
12. Libiya is sending a ship
Jacob Erickson ,   Holon, Israel   (07.09.10)
just like everyone else. Wasn't there supposed to be a whole fleet of ships from all over europe and the middle east sent over 3 weeks ago? I have yet to hear of a single ship being launched. Just saying they will launch them.
13. Charity or Politically Motivated Provocation?
lily   (07.09.10)
In a typical week, 15,000 tons of Israeli humanitarian aid supplies enter Gaza. Truckloads of meat, poultry, fish, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, milk powder, baby food, wheat and other supplies arrive in Gaza daily. Building materials are also shipped in, when monitored by International organizations so that it is not commandeered by Hamas for the fortification of bunkers. (source ) That is, in a week, Israel sends more aid to Gaza than is contained in the 10,000 tons of the so-called humanitarian aid flotilla that arrived from Turkey.

14. just this week
Ilana   (07.09.10)
over 100 civilians were killed, if not more in Pakistan and Iraq by their muslim brothers. Doesn't anyone care about them? What was their crime? Why is there no outcry about crimes against humanity? Why isn't it headlines in every newspaper for day after day? Every weekover 100 are killed by suicide bombers in muslim countries-that is at least 1000 a month!! babies, women, elderly! Let us not even get into Sudan and Turkey. That would raise the number per month considerably. Itis not fashionable to worry about these people I guess. Poor them-how sad. Perhpas we should begin major protests? Bring it to the attention of the doves around the world?

halevay!!! I hope & pray there will be no mischap this time.
16. Tayfun from occupied Turkey
JUDAH THE LION   (07.09.10)
How about if we organise ship to KURDISTAN
17. Temple Mount
Harvey ,   London   (07.09.10)
Al Asqa was built on the remains of the Second Temple many centuries after the Jews were expelled by the Romans. This practice of seeking to obliterate the remains of previous cultures is common to all conquering armies . In this case the Muslims having conquered Jerusalem sought to remove every last vestige of Jewish presence including the holiest of holys by building directly on top of it and thus signifying their "superiority "and contempt for the Jewish nation. Of course nowadays that single truth is replaced by their own narrative of Mohammeds " Night Journey" to the Temple Mount . Quite some coincidence that he chose to land right on top of the JewishTemple some might think. Al Asqa / Jerusalem is not mentioned once in the Koran but is mentioned 247 times in the Torah. Islam needs to ask itself why the Al Asqa is located on top of the Temple and not vice versa . That might just provide them with the answer to which was there first and which people are the true inheritants of the Holy City .
18. To # 14 Ilana. You are 100% correct!
Lioness ,   Israel   (07.09.10)
19. kinda cute
Zeina ,   Jerusalem   (07.09.10)
Gaddafi junior looks kinda cute though.
20. If there is any Israeli in Lybia: get out! (lol)
Joe ,   Canada   (07.09.10)
Given the fate reserved to two Swiss nationals jailed for two years in Lybia as retaliation for the arrest of a son of Gaddafi in Switzerland for violence against servants, any manhandling of this son by Israeli will be considered no less sacrilegious if not a break of diplomatic immunity. To be safe better to stay away from Lybia for a while!
21. i hope this time without servants
(07.09.10)
22. to #7
Omri ,   Israel   (07.09.10)
Letting it go like that sometimes isn’t a good idea. For example last time the Irish ship had brought a plane to Gaza. Would Israel not take it and give it to the red cross over there I bet you that plane would turn kamikaze style one us. The same can be said about building materials that if a humanitarian organization doesn’t get it then Hamas will use it to make bunkers and such so yea its necessary that Israel takes hold of it and makes sure it comes to a real humanitarian organization's hands.
23. pot bellies in gaza
SM ,   UK   (07.09.10)
I hope the so called 'humanitarian aid' includes a generous supply of diet pills for gazas growing army of 'fatties'. Yes believe it or not gaza's population has one of the worlds highest rates of obesity as United Nations data confirms. This isn't suprising as they're already recipients of very generous international aid. Yet this is the very same organisation that keeps telling the world about 'gazas suffering' and 'food shortages'. Propaganda of the worst kind and a gross misrepresentation of the facts. But that's what the hypocritical membership of this discredited and spineless body wants to hear. Any humanitian aid should be going to some of the poverty stricken areas in Africa and Asia. where there's genuine famine. Just another excuse to blacken Israel's reputation. Shameless!
24. liar, liar....the world's on fire
tiki ,   belgium   (07.09.10)
Wasn't this the son, who convinced the whole world to let the 'Lockerbi bomber free, because he was sooooo ill, and 'o'to'tot, was going going to die from cancer, so we needed to show some compassion, not with the people who lost 'loved ones, but with this p.o..sht. He got his live back, his victims didn't.
25. #20,JOE. YES,THEY CAN DECEIVE!!
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne,   (07.09.10)
A few years ago one of Gaddaffi's sons was interviewed on BBC radio.I cannot recall which son it was,but what stuck in my mind was his claim that Libya is a country where everybody,including Jews,are treated equally. He didn't bother to mention that there hadn't been any Jews living in Libya for many years. Watch out for more mendacity if the Gaddafis are involved. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
