1. Simply about true Useful Idiots supporting Hamas
Stephen in New York   (06.24.11)
The flotilla spokespeople state that they carry no aid or humanitarian assistance of any kind. One of the organizers, Adam Shapiro, stated recently that delivering aid was never the mission, but rather the goal was to keep the Palestinian “tragedy” in the public view. So it’s becoming ever more apparent to discerning and fair-minded people who these ISM/BDS people are and what they’re really about. It’s necessary to confront propagandists for jihad for the benefit of those visiting this site who may be unfamiliar with history and context. Many flotilla participants and supporters state that Hamas is the legitimate Gazan government and that the members of Hamas are freedom fighters. The flotilla is simply about true Useful Idiots supporting Hamas.
2. These are the enemies of both countries US & Israel.........

3. To all flotilla passengers :
Barbara ,   Haifa Israel   (06.24.11)
Sign on the dotted line that if you sail on the flotilla you relinquish any responsibility for your life and property. Just like a suicide bomber. I don't want to hear any complaints afterwards about Israeli treatment to you - if you can't stand the heat in the kitchen then get out of the kitchen. OR you get what you give. Incite - your get incitement, tripled.

Seems that finally the US State Department is opening their eyes and smelling the coffee. Maybe someday they will actually be useful and condemn terrorists that we are supposed to be fighting -- like Hamas and the others that make up the various "Palestinian" groups of murderers and terrorists bent on taking over land piece by piece no matter what country.
5. Geography
stanheller ,   USA   (06.24.11)
Someone should tell Secretary Clinton that one need not go to Gaza through "Israeli waters". Gaza is not Israel. The Security Council demanded Israel end its occupation of Gaza 40 years ago. Perhaps the generous Israeli goverment does allow donated flour into Gaza, but it took this brave new Flotilla to get Netanyahu to approve materials for a mere 1,200 homes in the Gaza Strip mega-prison. Wake up Israelis! You are a tiny number of people living admist tens of millions who are throwing off their dictators and who hate what you do to the Palestinians Realize Israel is in the Middle East, not New York State.
6. US support
Dik ,   Spijkenisse Holland   (06.24.11)
for Israel and wise words from Hillary abt. Gaza flottilla are more than welcome to Israel. Shalom from Holland
7. hillary and obama can make a call to their friends on these
paul ,   USA   (06.24.11)
ships and speek right to them. they don't need a midle-man in the form of the media. we would like them to really stand for what they say and not only say it, and then send a diferent massage to their friends...
8. clinton.
justice for all ,   world/planet earth   (06.24.11)
clinton and all the other us-authorities have to mind their own us-business in their own country. they have to stop to meddle/to interfere in affairs of other countries/peoples. down with us-meddling. us-domination, us-hegemony, us-supremacy all over the world and leave the rest of the world alone in peace!!!!!
9. #4 Dwarf
David ,   America   (06.24.11)
Don't allow your head to be turned by these seeming softer words from the State Dept. It is nothing more than a gradual drawing back into the Obama fold all the Jews and Christians he has offended for the past three years in order to get votes and campaign donations. As soon as he is re-elected, should America be so stupid again, he will turn his ire on full scale and show his true islamic muslim brotherhood face. COUNT ON IT!

Your eternal destiny may be hidden in your name. Do you think the Almighty worries about numbers when dealing with His enemies? Ten billion or one, He wins!
11. It is illegal, it breaks US Law
Aryeh ,   Bat Yam   (06.24.11)
It's worse than than Jim. it's illegal, § 962. — Arming vessel against friendly nation. PART I--CRIMES CHAPTER 45--FOREIGN RELATIONS Sec. 962. Arming vessel against friendly nation Whoever, within the United States, furnishes, fits out, arms, or attempts to furnish, fit out or arm, any vessel, with intent that such vessel shall be employed in the service of any foreign prince, or state, or of any colony, district, or people, to cruise, or commit hostilities against the subjects, citizens, or property of any foreign prince or state, or of any colony, district, or people with whom the United States is at peace; or Whoever issues or delivers a commission within the United States for any vessel, to the intent that she may be so employed-- Shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.
12. Clinton's allegiance
Jack ,   Fort Collins, CO   (06.24.11)
Once again Clinton demonstrates that her foreign policy is made in Israel, not the US. Instead of standing up for free speech rights of American citizens, she merely reads the script handed to her by Lieberman. Keeping weapons out of Gaza is one thing; the immoral and illegal blockade Israel is running is another. Time for someone in this administration to stand up for US interest, not Israeli hard right interests.
13. A lot of morons in one catch.
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.24.11)
Why not make this an unforgettable journey for those idiots on the vessels. Theese people are hardcore islamic followers. Stripsearch everyone, and put a flower into their butts/rear end, preferably a yellow rose, which should be quite sticky. The rose comes in addition to early mentioned smelly, sticky shit.:-) And of coarse, the rose should symbolize peace. :-) And you realy must be a good friend to remove the thorns...
14. #4 David #9 is right. Obama's losing support of Jews
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (06.24.11)
and Evangelical Christians. Obama is helping with the flotilla crisis to give the appearance of being on Israel's side. But at the same time, he is pressing Israel hard to make concessions to the Palestinians. In any case, it is Obama's best friend, Rashid Khalidi, who raised the money to purchase the flotilla boat "Audacity of Hope." Obama's other leftist friends from CodePink are also involved. They have been planning Flotilla II for a long time and are not going to pull out now. The purpose of Clinton's speech was to influence gullible US Jews to give money to the Obama 2012 campaign.
15. Well written Stanheller!
James ,   Canada   (06.25.11)
this is another show of zionist Hubris! Palestine will be free much sooner than we expect!

James ,   Canada   (06.25.11)
Of Course the Almighty wins against ALL creation! He is the Only Creator! This is why the Almighty has been letting you go through torture, in the inquisition, in the crusades, in the pogroms, the holocaust...This is why you never had a state for thousands of years! And we you finally did have one, you had to steal it and commit a genocide on Palestinians to get it! state in which you cannot even live in peace! The writngs on the wall show that you will have to relinquish it back soon! Then What?
