Funny that no one ever speaks about why they named a ship after a Palestinian actor commited to the Palestinian cause...who was murdered by Palestinians

Not a diver- they hit something

I had no idea mossad's sharks had such tremendous range. Good work, boys.

Juliano Mer was shot dead by militants/terrorists in the WB. Why name a boat after him...unless his death is something else they want to blame on Israel by not mentioning the "details" of who killed him. The devil is certainly in the details,

exposes him as an intellectual lightweight. He claims that there is no poverty in the streets of Gaza, because he sees "fancy cars, import tv's and LCD screens". My dear Gantz, you can see the same in India, in Pakistan or in Israel. Does it follow then that there is no poverty in those three countries?? Obviously there is luxury stuff coming in through the Rafah tunnels. Some people are making money from the tunnel business. But the vast majority of the Gazans are dirti poor with an unemployment rate of between 60 and 70%. If you want to tell a lie, use your imagination. Stupidity won't do!

1. "Organizers of the flotilla claim Israel was responsible for the damage, which may leave the 25 activists prepared to board the ship, hailing from Greece, Sweden, and Norway, stranded in the port." Prove it. 2. "Dror Feiler, a former Israeli and one of the flotilla's organizers ...." Has he been stripped of his Israeli citizenship and barred from ever returning to Eretz Israel? I certainly hope so. He deserves nothing less. In any event, I would prefer a description along the lines of "traitor and disgraced Israeli" for the likes of him.

That is not the type of damage incurred through sabotage. That is the type of damage incurred through the operation of a passenger ferry in the normal course, where they do not berth in deep water and get all kinds of dings because of the pilings, rocks and other debris along the wharf. Just more inflammatory and deliberately inciteful nonsense from the highly embarrassed organizers of the flotilla.

What utter nonsense. Yeah everyone in Gaza has a fancy car and a flat screen tv. Don't forget the fancy "canvas" houses that thousands of people are living in. Thank you IDF. The world is slowly starting to see through Israeli lies and the people of Gaza will be free soon. Send more flotillas.

Yeah, go ahead and fix it so the Israeli Navy can capture or sink it!

Dror Failure should be arrested, charged for treason and jailed for life. He is very dangerous and should be stopped.

Geez, let's hope so. Wouldn't that have been a coup?!

...that Israel is responsible? Of course not...these ships are barely seaworthy at best and probably are just falling apart,but of course,blame Israel...more propaganda for the naive "useful idiots" to swallow.

On the last flotilla - the "organizers" claimed to be "peaceful activists" - the proof of their intentions, pre meditated viiolence, intent to harm and kill - was as clear as daylight. Now Mr Feiler claims Israeli Divers sabotaged the ship - does he have evidence, footage and witnesses? Sorry Mr. Feiler - you are as credible as the IHH, and as "peaceful" as Assad., as credible as Hamas.......get it?

Man, you self hating Jews are really pissing me off. Why would you be such a hypocrite and try to ignore your Jewish and Israeli roots? Do you think you will have more love from these people if you denounce your own?

You're all losers.

To whomever did this righteous act.

From what I see and what they are showing, all I see is scratched paint and a dent.

Look at the video! That shaft looks like it was bent after hitting a rock. The shaft is made of stainless steel and would require a machine to bend it that way. Not something easy to hide in a public port. But I like the Leftist lie which makes Israelis sound like super-humans and the Mossad like they can reach anyone at anytime. They do more for Israeli deterrent than Israel does. ...and for this, we thank you.

To be expected: an criminal act by operatives from an illegally existing so-called state. One need not be surprised, just saddened and disgusted. The flotilla ships will sail, however, and will reach Gaza!

Not now Israel. Not Sure how will the Grec Governement respond but any respectable Governement would be outraged, even if it s in the break of collapse. People of Grece will remember this unfriedly gesture!

If the weather Is not favorable-blame the Jews.To suggest that Israeli frog men breached Greek autonomy and sabotaged a ship In a Greek port (and how so? with a pair of pliers?)Is another effort to Inflame ant Israeli sentiments

typical left wing anti semites in action .. blame israel and forget the proof because non is needed, we're jews. Well this floatilla keeps getting smaller and smaller and put on notice that they are pissing off the wrong guys and could end up dead. And that includes alice walker who based on the interviews she has given is an rabid anti semite who wrote a nice book about slavery. If you can figure out how an anti slavery writter becomes a hard core anti smite explain it to me ....

Do they have evidence?

Benny Gantz's claim "There is no poverty on the streets of Gaza" is a prime example of why Israel is losing the war. Yes, Aluf Benny, there is poverty in Gaza, there is an unemployment rate which hovers around 40%. That the chief of the IDF refuses to acknowledge this just shows the tone-deafness of the current Israeli government.

The dumb people of this country have no limit. They'll ban Israel from the rest of world and will sink in abyssal depths of stupidity. And they'll be claiming they're the chosen one. We all know now what they've been chosen for...

yours. How can you account for the latest surge in luxury buildings, both public and private. Gaza City today looks very neat and trendy. How can you account for the bustling market places all over Gaza Strip sporting heaps of food and produce? How can you account for so many people filling in the streets of Gaza and her shops as well? Are they only window shopping ? Yes, according to your extremely academic and logical thinking, this unemployed population is shopping on plywood cards and cardboard jettons which Hamas has been issuing for the entire population. No, Ben, when General Ganz makes such a statement he means it as it is. Capisci ? Are you now trying to get us drunk by serving us crystal clear water ?
