justice for all ,   world/planet earth   (06.30.11)
the pot calls the kettle black. and what do you think of: us mind your own damned business in your own country. bring your own house in order? there is not a single country in this world which meddle so much in internal, domestic, national affairs of other countries/peoples and which want to control/to rule the entire world as the us(-authorities). i have nothing against the american people, for there are also good-willing americans, but iam against us-world-domination/hegemony. many countries/peoples are really fed up with this. us (authorities) leave the rest of the world alone in peace. nobody/not any country/people is perfect. i can mention many (war-) crimes/acts of terror the us have committed since 1945 which are not punished until now to which the us have never apologized/made excuses to the innocent victims. the us have absolutely no right to judge/to condemn other countries (concerning terror/terrorism, [war-]crimes, crimes against humanity etc.) you cannot make me angrier than to begin with the arrogant role of the us in this world. i will always fight against injustice and for justice. the us would do a lot better in this world with/in (some) modesty, respect and understanding for the entire mankind. the earth belongs to all of us.

Jonny ,   Cape Town   (06.30.11)
They have much in common, bankrupt politicians, bankrupt citizens, bowl in hand begging for the world to bail them out.

You again! Why use Sarah's name.Is it you Salma?

BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.30.11)
you have to visit every Pub in town before you make your moronic pronouncements? Keep the other drunks home; keep an eye on them, then you all can stop making fools of yourselves
65. #29 Maher- Most of what u say is true
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.30.11)
However, you really should take it up with Hamas, they caused it Children in OUR kindergartens were under attack by your rockets Your lot intentionally fired a rocket & destroyed a clearly marked Yellow Scholl bus As a matter of fact, FAhti Hammad made a video bragging about he uses your civilians, it's on You tube, yours just by clicking a few keys on your keyboard He's not too concerned about your health, take your complaints to him
66. Want to save your own citizens, Kenny?
Vlad   (06.30.11)
Keep them out of the flotilla.
67. To Irishmen
Steve ,   Dallas USA   (06.30.11)
Don't you in Ireland have enough unsolved problems on your own? Do you really feel qualified to offer advice to Israel? In this, in your attitude of undeserved superiority, you have imitated England, like a servant imitates his master.
68. Avoid harming Israel ... BY NOT COMING !

Israel? Twenty two plus years in the I.D.F. Dotty and Sophy, you two better get out of the hot sun in Eilat.It is frying your poor little brains. The U.S. would never fight Israel. And eurabia cannot even get rid of daffy gadafi in libya. And ireland is just another anti semitic country with no military power to back it up.
70. @ Sarah B. No. 56
Vlad   (06.30.11)
Many small and insignificant countries try to advise and put pressure on bigger ones, although the biggest thing they can do is impose sanctions and hurt themselves, or vote for a non-binding resolution in the UN. In this case, Ireland is simply following its foreign policy interests. Israel is simply following its security interests, but the leaders will no doubt do their utmost not to kill anyone, fearing to upset the world (I hope they will at least have the common sense not to use paintball guns again).
71. @ Dorothy and Sophia No. 57
Vlad   (06.30.11)
Not true at all. Ireland is officially neutral. It is not a member of NATO, so no US intervention. The EU will only help it if there is an attack on its sovereignty, but if Ireland sends its puny military to protect the flotilla, and if it attempts to forcibly stop an IDF interception, its unlikely that the EU go to war with a militarily powerful and nuclear-armed state with the military and political backing of the USA after the Irish get slaughtered.

jason white ,   afula, israel   (06.30.11)
Israel and 22 years of service in the I.D.F.? What about you two Dotty and Sophy? Where did you both come from? Did you each serve in the I.D.F.? Remember that those that came from the U.S. years ago gave up a lot to live here.We did not come here from a communist or a third world country. It would be better for you two to stay out of the hot sun in Eilat. It has fried your little brains! Who would fight for ireland? The eurabian union? Nato? They are weak and cannot get rid of daffy gahdaffi in libya.The U.S. would never fight it's ally, Israel.
73. Ireland is in bad economic situation and
ghostq   (06.30.11)
the flotila will only make bad diplomatic stress on sensitive political situation I don't think Kenny know what this means, to other countries in the world it means war declaration, but since they had Irish terror org in the north which surrendered to the Brits in the 90's than violance is more common than you think.
74. Funny
Gina ,   London   (06.30.11)
Funny how the only comeback is always antisemitism. Can't people comment intelligently without always crowing on about antisemitism. Pathetic and tiresome.
75. I love Ireland!
Barry ,   Israel   (06.30.11)
Ireland is a beautiful country. Don't believe that these few nutters represent all of Ireland- they don't!
76. #70 Vlad
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (06.30.11)
Forget paintball guns, they didn't work the last time they were used There's a simple solution, cancel the trouble making Flotilla
77. Insolent Irish
Tony ,   Palm Springs, USA   (06.30.11)
Except for Chiam Herzog, of course.
78. IRISH BOAT PROBLEM RESOLVED
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (07.01.11)
They cancelled the voyage Pubs will be overflowing with passangers consoling themselves
79. Ireland and the 'flotilla'
Donal Buckley ,   Castlebar, Ireland   (07.04.11)
Shalom, I am Irish, living in the west of Ireland and I fully support the state of Israel and its security in relation to Gaza. Don't judge a nation so easily. There are so many in this country who do support you.
80. EZ, what are you talking about
Conor ,   Dublin, Ireland   (02.25.12)
I'm from Ireland - there is no blood libel here (I'm not even sure what you mean by that), most people nowdays don't go to church - let alone undertake a fundementalist view of catholicism. Most people in the North are happy being under British administration so most Irish people support them in that. Perhaps you should visit us or learn a little about us before spouting ignorance about my country
81. 38, you are a fool
Conor ,   Dublin, Ireland   (02.25.12)
Yeah, declare war on Ireland and Israel would have to fight off the ENTIRE European Union, which it currently trades quite heavily with. Better add a soured relationship with papa bear United States - what, given that almost a quarter of their population identifies as Irish. What a fool suggestion
