Sounds like "Don't harm the tooth fairy" Both are quite fictional.

Wow, $100mm?? That sure does buy a lot of expired drugs and pencils. You can send $1 billion of aid if you want. No one cares, but it will get inspected prior to entry or you will be considered an enemy combatant trying to smuggle contraband.

but will they allow the BBC's Panorama crew also?

and thus earns them the right to be considered terrorists. According to US and EU stipulations, Hamas is considered a terror group and other groups/countries are banned from assisting them. IHH does just that, and knowingly breaks Intl Law when organizing the flotilla to break the legal blockade of Gaza, transporting contraband. It looks like by definition IHH sure meets the criteria to be considered a terror org, despite building a school or two. The US is still investigating the IHH, Italian MPs have called for a ban on IHH in Europe. The French and Germans are also investigating the IHH.

..just disable de darn propellers as they approach Israel...is so simple! why can't the IDF think of this? anyone with a bit of knowlege about boats knows this! block their way as they approach, make them slowdown, send a sub and then have a couple of divers plant a small bomb on the propellers...boom! the boat is no longer functional and they have to be towed...do this every time and it's 100% efective...damn why can't the IDF think of this? it makes me mad they can be so ignorant about these things...

truth sometimes hurts... sarah is seldom wrong

let them come, pay them no heed. they'll have a good time, stick around for a while and sail back. publicity is really all they want. I would ignore the whole thing. gaza got all the weaponry it needs so what's the difference

let them drift in the middle of med for a couple days...no boarding, no PR...without any media attention in the west they wont attempt it again

please send a humanitarian aid ship to ocupied cyprus and help us!!!

As Turkey gathers jihadis for this journey, show your support for Israel and objection to terror by cancelling travel plans to Turkey. I know many people who have followed suit. They simply want nothing more to do with Turkey. Turkey remains a popular travel destination for Germans, Russians and Iranians. In particular, I appeal to Germans, Russians and Europeans. Take your hard earned money and visit a country whose leadership is not trying to ignite a conflict by using the Palestinians for their own agenda.

Are you going to volunteer to be the diver who attaches explosives to a MOVING propeller in uncertain sea conditions? Propellers on a vessel even the relatively modest size of the MAVI MARMARA can rip whales to shreds -- what do you think they would do to a human being? The time to disable the propeller would be while it's berthed in Mersin.

the Brits...???

What I see is total hypocricy by IHH and co. People in Syria and Lybia are dying every day due to state terrorism, but nobody gives a damn about them.People in Republic of Cyprus are deprived of their properties in the northern part of the island , which is still under brutal turkish occupation after 37 years. Settlers from mainland turkish Anatolia are poured in there, in order to change the demographic proportion. Even turkcypriots are minority now in their soil. And all that turkish foreign policy cares about ,is how to enbarrass and humiliate Israel. At last enough with double standards.

Mumara certainly is capable of carrying $100m worth of expensive stuff such as heroin. Israelis really should learn from our "Sea shepherd" nutters - some old fish nets and the ship is not going anywhere.

barak did not do a good job last time when bibi left him in charge. Appoint yaalon to handle overall operations in June. otherwise disaster will befall israel. The arabs have good strategy in flooding israel'sborders. Barak doesn't have the courage to deter them. The state of israel will collapse if it allows 10,000 arabs across. Bibi-wake up before its too late.Lindenstraus has already said that barak is a failure.

Publish the names, photos and crimes of the terrorists on the 1st flotilla farce. This will get you started: 1) Erdinç Tekir – IHH operative wounded aboard the Mavi Marmara, was involved in the violent 1996 terrorist attack on the Russian ferry Avrasya to bargain for the release of Chechen terrorists from Russian prisons . He was convicted & sentenced to eight years in prison, but served only 3 years. 2) Raed Salah- Leader of Islamic Movement in Israel, previously convicted by Israeli court for raising money for Hamas and sentenced to 2 years in prison. Salah was also convicted of assault and recently caught committing arson in a forest. He has also committed blood libel, claiming that Jews use Arab blood to make bread. 3) Hilarion Capucci -Syrian convicted by an Israeli court of smuggling arms to the Palestine Liberation Army and sentenced to 12 years in prison. He was released in an exchange when Palestinians hijacked airplanes and terrorized Jewish passengers who were hostages. 4) Hassan Aynsey (28), a member of a Turkish charity association, regularly transfers funds to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terrorist group. 5)Hussein Orush, from the Turkish IHH organization, intended to assist al-Qaeda activists into the Strip via Turkey. 6) Ahmed Omemun (51) from Morocco, who also has French citizenship, is a Hamas member. 7) Amin Abu-Rashid, 43, chief fundraiser of Hamas in Western Europe 8) Yasser Muhammed Sabag, Syrian intel officer working with Iran and others according to Serbian news agency FOCUS (He was an active member of Abu Nidal terrorist organization)

Recent info says there is no need for this flotilla with so-called "aid". Also, the border at Egypt has been opened, and the "aid" could easily be transported by land. Then, the flotilla must be a bunch of idiots on ships sucking favour from each other on this journey. To participants; please do not return to your homeland, you will not be missed. Hopefully you will end up in a cell somewhere. To muslims wanting to be martyrs; it's a joke of your life :-)

Wear a hat with goggles.

The world has a Facebook attention span: they've already forgotten theist flotilla, this one will have no Israeli wounded and will be unspun like nakba day: turkey will look stupid and so will the lefties on the ship. No aid needed to Gaza, it's a pointless propaganda stunt which will die in it's tracks.

It's funny when you think about it, But I wonder why nowhere in this article it doesn't mention that the the last time this ship carried NO AID, that's right, none was found on this ship and two others. The whole thing was a PR stunt and most of the world caught on. We saw the video's of what happened on the ship and we know who started it, the terrorists, not the IDF. But what was even better, the truth got out about Gaza. That it was all a lie. There was NO crisis, NO starvation, NO fuel shortage, No "open air prison" all nonsense, that everything was a PR Pallywood stunt. We saw the the Water Parks for the kids, New Malls, Upscale restaurants, Well stocked Food Courts, life was fine in Gaza. The flotilla was the biggest PR disaster for the Palestinians, exposing their lies and deceit. Go ahead do it again, the video cams are rolling.

There is a Turkish saying: ARAYAN MEVLASINI DA BULUR BELASINIDA. (He who seeks will may find his pleasure or his doom). The IHH knows very well what happened last year. They know that if they really want to give aid they can do it through the Egypt border that is now open or through the International red Cross. If they continue to provoke Israel one should not be surprised if they find their BELA or Doom that they are seeking. Another Turkish saying is UZUM YEMEGE MI BAGCIYI DOVMEYEMI GELDIN? (Did you come to eat grapes or beat the vineyard?) If IHH wanted to aid - eat grapes - they know ho9w to do. What they are trying to do is beat the vineyard but he who falls by himself should not cry.

Its easy to read those arrogant comments, but beaware, flotilas is OPINION OF WHOLE WORLD. Its "Real display of love towards Israels policy". Israel behaves like constant winner in casino until that "last bet" - and then "day will turn into night", dreams into "cruel jokes" . But it will be to late. petr czech
