Israel's navy has to keep its intention detectors on to frame those activists in acceptable manner to the world community.

with unilateral extension of Israel's water territory to almost Cyprus waters, prepare yourselves for tens of ships being confiscated. Intention based charges are irrefutable.

because both have erroneously defined elected Hamas as terrorist based on Israel's interpretation of Hamas charter and now both US & EU cant go back on their definition.

Matt, if this was happening in your neighbourhood you would be RUFSMS. I'm sure you can work that out. I suspect that at heart you are a coward, as no brave person laughs when innocent lives are at stake.The protestors are provocative, not innocent. Educate yourself, all that laughter has affected your brain.

Sulphur CAN be very dangerous, deadly if inhaled especially. It is used in stink bombs which normally are just nuisance value but if the bags break open and raw sulphur goes into the air it would be very dangerous to inhale. I pray the IDF have taken precautions against this eventuality.

Just in case there are chemicals, cover up and wear masks.

Please do not risk our children's life for these terrorists. Give these ship's warning and if not stopped, them sink them. Take such a action that next time they won't even dream of gathering any fortilla. Our children's life is precious to us.

“This is a chemical weapon and if poured on a soldier it can paralyze him,” an IDF source told The Jerusalem Post Monday night. “If the sulfur is then lit on fire, the soldier will light up like a torch.”

Not knowing why the US is against the Gaza flotilla is understandable, because you live in Egypt and have a bias against facts. The reason the US is against the flotilla is because it would challenge a legal naval blockade. Israel would be well within their rights to sink any vessel running the blockade because trying to break their very legal blockade would be an act of war. As to the Hamas Charter, it leaves no ambiguity, as you already know. Your taqqiya has therefore failed again.

shall we invite him over for a culinary fest? He is just trying to annoy but ends up a total fool.hahah!

Feiler says:- "Israel needs to know that no matter what they do we are determined to set sail and break the illegal siege and open a naval corridor to Gaza." Why? If humanitarian aid can be delivered by land through Israel or Egypt, what's the point of the flotilla - other than to deliver arms?

They don't know what to invent anymore...

YnetNews doesn't like to publish the truth about Americans who hate Israel like Col. (Ret) Mary Ann Right! Why do you allow others to damage Israel but you won't let Israelis publish the truth about our enemies?

fear so stay home!

No need to invent, the enemy has already & publicly stated their intentions for all to see

The IDF doesn't know what the chemical is, they aren't going to take any chances Now, if you would volunteer to be the lab rat, they could find out what it is, which would be most helpful to the IDF

Tell me you putz, have you ever bothered to read the Hamas Charter, or you just passing wind to kill time ? The Charter specifically calls for the destruction of Israel and the Jews that reside there Lately they added an addendum to the Charter, calling for the killing of Jews anywhere they happen to be on this planet

Have you booked your flotilla seat as yet, do it, and give us a direct reaction to whatever the chemicals may be Plenty of seats available, passengers have been defecting for safer parts Nobody has to "frame" the intruders, they're doing a nice job it all by their lonesome, stating in advance that they intend to make trouble and defy the IDF which is performing its legal duties to protect Israel P.S. Heard the latest?, the proposed marriage of Hamas & Fatah is on the rocks, , looks like it is being cancelled

The U.N. Security Council approved sending 4,200 Ethiopian troops to Sudan's disputed Abyei region as Sudan prepares to divide into two nations, diplomats said.

Add water,it turns into sulfuric acid, then add salt,presto it's now Hydrochloric acid Anyone care for some being thrown at them, speak up, you'll be first in line to get your share

The only written Jewish constitution is that of the Jewish National Fund which states that no Land of Israel is allowed to be sold to non Jews. The last Israel's charter heard of is "from Nile to Euphrates is Great Israel".

Where did you learn your chemistry? Sulfur under ordinary conditions does not behave like that. You would have to burn it to form sulfur trioxide, which THEN could combine with water to form sulfuric acid. Bags of sulfur are not going to be effective in the time needed.

Who said circumstances were ordinary, ever hear of advance preparation, sort of like instant coffee, just add the last ingredient and it's ready to go

Most likely it was a language problem, how about SULPHURIC ACID, sprayed from backpacks that gardeners or firemen use "Sulphuric Acid, A strong mineral acid with the molecular formula H2SO4 . Very dangerous, do not splash on faces, eat, or inject people with this.

Have a Helicopter gunship hover over the ships being inspected, at the first show of armed resistance, STRAFE THE DECKS to clear them
