1. "they were literally hiding the wounded"

another case of terrorists forcibly sending people to be shahids for PR even though their lives could be saved. It would be concerning if it didn't already happen so many times among "palestinian" terrorists.
2. saved from whom
doug ,   us   (01.26.11)
no one was in danger or dying until idf arrived if any of you believe you saved lives get help your brain has been programmed backwards
3. Enough already!!! How long can the Jew excuse himself for
tom ,   tel aviv   (01.26.11)
being alive and strong?! This is becoming so utterly embarassing in our own eyes: the eyes of the world opinion see what they want to anyway. The matter should be over months ago , done with and forgotten. What are we becoming, Yossi Beilins And Gidon Levy's?? Shame on us!!
4. But when you go in front of the U.N.,
noa ,   israel   (01.26.11)
it is important to shout that one sentence: "People who came with axes and knives came to kill". Just this sentence, say it with passion, aggressively and force Turkey and the opposition to answer. Stop being on the defensive. It is a losing position.
5. who is Dr. A

6. "they came to kill!"
cait ,   usa   (01.26.11)
what about the people who dropped onto a ship carrying international activists in INTERNATIONAL WATERS with GUNS. It is perplexing that the "they came to kill" argument doesn't go both ways. self-defense vs. being on the offensive is where the question is answered. who illegally boarded the ships in the middle of the night with live amunition? IDF. who came to kill? IDF.
7. Dr. A
Ed ,   Israel   (01.26.11)
He is a Navy SEAL doctor...his name was not revealed for obvious reasons.
8. #6 The IDF came with PAINT GUNS, dummy!
Tahl ,   Ashdod   (01.26.11)
Clearly, if you "come to kill" you certainly don't come armed with paint guns. Only after the first soldiers were brutally attacked and nearly murdered, they were backed up by other soldiers with guns. Otherwise, they would have been lynched to death. As for "illegal boarding" - it was already proven that Israel was perfectly within its rights to board the ship, according to the London Declaration concerning laws of Naval War, the Helsinki Principles on the Law of Maritime Neutrality, and the San Remo Manual on International Law Applicable to Armed Conflicts at Sea. Not that I actually need to justify my country's actions to a citizen of another country who cares much less about international law.
9. Really
anton ,   istanbul turkey   (01.26.11)
yeah thanks for saving lives doc. its shame you could only save 9 people
10. Oh Really?
Shlomo Kamera   (01.26.11)
The Dr's name is Dr Ahole. But really the quotes from this article are hillarious and somewhat childish. "I'm a Mcdoctor and I want to save lives........" Pity he could not prevent the execution of 9 lives eh??
11. #8 Tahl The Whole Incident Could Have Been
Brazen   (01.26.11)
avoided if the p.m. of turkey had'nt tryed to break a LEGAL blockade PERIOD. turkey and All the rest of the iranian proxies ONLY foment and incite at the command of the ILLEGAL iranian regime. The IDF comandos had their posts CHALLENEGED by amatuers and they paid the price, this idiot has his anti-semitism blinding him from the truth. For the record ihh terrorists who pulled apart the ship they were on to make make-shift weapons came to KILL not the IDF.
12. NEXT TIME THEY'LL LOOK FOR THE SHIP
American ,   Los Angeles ,US   (01.26.11)

13. # 9
Birdi ,   Israel   (01.26.11)

14. Dr. saves lives
Marti ,   USA USA   (01.28.11)
Why does this remind me of Israel investigating itself in this attack and then finding itself innocent.
