i hope these idiots realise that if a soldiers life is at risk, he has the ability to defend himself. g-d forbid they actually try and kill a member of the IDF, then the shit will hit the fan for everybody. and the journalists...yes it's a big news story...but it's an illegal blockade run...you being there doesn't automatically exempt you from any legality because your a journalist.

wish the travelers a safe and fruitful trip.

last year's crying commando ♥ ;)

is the minute that the entire boat and its members become legitimate targets for IDF measures. If this "activists" were smart and genuine, they'd purge those who wish to cause death and mayhem from among them. As I recall, the last time the flotilla occurred, the only boat that saw action was the one who had violent Islamists who stated the same thing before setting off on their voyage. Don't say you weren't warned!

They bring bags of sulfur, the IDF should launch bags of rancid pig crap onto the deck. That'll make sure they get the message.

Are they preparing for the flotilla or for a dance. Lucky they are still in Greece. Cant do that in Gaza.

Actually, didn't you, Dror, export your anti-Israel agenda, born and bred in Sweden, to Greek waters and beyond? Better that you stay in Sweden and let your myopic self-important ego be nurtured rather than have it shrink in the light of reality.

when used for hunting. But like guns, when knives are turned on another human, they are deadly and considered weapons. You also forgot the metal pipes and the flak jackets found on board. When equipped with mere paintball guns, most advanced armies wouldn't have a chance.

and with ill-intent. No problem. This time, cameras will be rolling, the IDF will be confiscating digital evidence, and will hit the boats from afar before moving in to take them over. The activists will cry foul, the IDF will release the videos, the world will see the provocative and racist actions of these boat lemmings, and no one (hopefully) will be killed.

A SCREW DRIVER OR EVEN A SMALL KNIFE COULD HARM A SOLDIER !! REMEMBER THE SAFETY REGULATIONS ON AIRLINES !!!

...are NOT helping. All they do is KNOCK against each other, make lots of NOISE and DISTORT the vision - both physical and mental - that a RATIONAL person possesses. That's WHY in the past, you INSISTED that Gaza is occupied based on laws that you STILL are INCAPABLE of producing for peer review. I am a bit DISAPPOINTED that you did not bring up the OLD CHESTNUT about Israeli piracy in international waters. Did you LOSE that marble already? Maybe you replace it with a NEW one - stink bomb? Whatever, the RATTLING noises are still the SAME.

The Turkish Government pressures IHH to pull out because they knew something was brewing. This could be disinformation but if it isn't then the so-called "ships of peace" have become warships (including the one full of Americans) and the Israeli Navy must take whatever action necessary (including sinking the ships) in order to protect the State of Israel and the Jewish People.

these people want to support terrorists therefore we can consider them terrorists

matt, why don't you beat yourself on the head with a metal rail, and see how you like it? Go stab yourself while you're at it. Knives and metal rails are more dangerous than PAINTBALL GUNS you idiot LEON, you sad sad man. Go make sulfuric acid, which is simple, and pour it on yourself. After 2 seconds, you won't be calling it a "stinkbomb" These are terrorists, just like the ones that were responsible for 9/11, and so much more. Leon, you live in Canada. Stealing maple syrup is the only violence/crimes that you will ever see, eh. so shut up

Don't let them take advantage of you. Make sure every IDF soldier is armed with a helmet camera so the world can see what these "Activists" are all about.

I can't distinguish whether a bottle or bag being thrown at me is or is not a grenade, since I'm not prone to taking chances, I will have to assume it's the latter, about to explode and will take action accordingly, just as soon as it looks like it’s about to leave the other fellows hand

after their boats have been stopped, they've dropped anchor, and have to sit in the broiling Mediterranean sun for a couple of week without anything cold to drink and stinking to high heaven because they don’t have water to bathe with They better bring suntan lotion or barbecue sauce, their skin will be roasted to at least medium well

is antibacterial and if combined with pine oil 2% and mineral oil in a mixture, even clears up skin tumors and is an animal remedy for many skin disorders. I put that mixture on tumors on my feet that were under the surface of the skin and the tumors shrank. MSM is a sulfur compound and is used as an analgesic, taken orally.

These rabid Muslim thugs, were heard screamin ,like idiots : " Ya Khobar, The Army of Muhammad is on the way. "They were styling themselves as killers of Jews as did Mohammad in Medina when he slaughtered the Jews. These are the Peaceful activists! U can have them all!

I remember well having some SOB in Chicago jump at me with one of those long, broad blades used for cutting meat in the kitchen. Yeah man, they most definitely qualify as a weapon.

One verbal warning, one shot across the bow and then sink them. That's what the law states and it can be in international water too.

The flotilla members want to make a grand show for the world stage. It seems to me that Israel should come up with a plan to make the whole thing into a grand anti-climax - like some holes in the hulls of the vessels and some rowboats for the "survivors". That would be a fine sight indeed. Forget the vessels, the cargo, boarding etc and just focus on humiliating the passengers without so much as touching them. Two can play the game.

For example sulfuric acid?

How else would we know about this??

We'll see how fast the next flotilla gathers if their ships are disabled, surrounded and forced to sit in the sun. Throw chains into the propellers, disable the ships, surround them and then lob stink bombs into them. I am sure their internet and electricity can be disabled as well and cell phones interrupted. let them have a month in the sunnon us.

Where is the evidence of such chemicals making their way onto the ship? Or is the IOF referring to the bags of chemicals they plan to use to frame the activists? Silly article, silly people, silly "Israel".

It's a reality show for "progressives" and socialists. They get to pat themselves on the back, no matter what the outcome, and make a few bucks on the "Liberal" speaking network.
