Saying that Israel has an interest in damaging the ship as proof that Israel actually damaged the ship is quite far fetched. It is like saying that flotilla activists have an interest in damaging Israel as proof that they damage Israel.

any thing to give Israel a black eye... unless there is proof that the israelis did it ...it could well have been self inflicted by those who want to glean a propaganda point from it .... so keep your speculation to yourself.

Than whatever cargo they carry. These fools have to be arrested and charged with aiding terrorists.

this irish primer minster could be "stupid if not crazy", how would she fell if israel will invade he r country ireland with full force of the IDF? are the irish catholics joining with the palestinian moslems in celebrating a mass in dublin?

or have you solved all the problems at home? if you want to render the Jews defenceless against their enemies and if you help those enemies in their combat, you deserve to be treated as belligerents. i, for one, hope that this is your last cruise.

attempt to gracefully bail out of losing endeavor? I find it entirely plausible.

This idiot of a Irish prime minister must stop the foltilla from sailing and not demand from Israel restraint.If his compatriants want to feel the wrath of the IDF Enda Kenny should do all possible to stop the fortilla of Irish fools.

Great to wake up and read this article - has made my day! These eejits are not representative of all Irish sentiment - they are attention seeking infantiles wasting money that could be put to constructive use instead of personal anti-semetic agendas. Fintan Lane will now excrete a few tears on national TV on how bad the Israelis are for wrecking their boat - give me a break!

Mark Regev is too much of a gentleman when speaking to this sanctimonious, arrogant British Bastard of an interviewer. The judgemental, hateful Brit doesn't interview, he attacks. He won't listen, has closed his ears even before the interview because he has closed his mind to anything Jewish or Israeli. His hatred of Mark Regev, the Israeli, shines through for all to see. In future, when being interviewed by such disgusting specimens of British or Irish baggage, Mark should just cut them off and say "You bloody, sactimonious, hateful, miserable bastard" "Shut up and listen" If you can't listen then this inetrview is finished as it is pointless to speak with a jew-hating know-it-all. You are wrong wrong wrong. Bye Bye". Israel needn't grant interviews nor explain themselves. They should be like the British in the Falkland war and just refuse reporters with a total blackout. Do what we need to do as it doen't matter what we do to please them, they hate JEWS. period.

What don't you understand? Gaza is in the situation it is in today because it refuses to stop bombing southern Israel when it feels like it . . . and Gaza has held Gilad Shalit for 5 years, isolating him totally. What don't you understand? You have chosen sides. You have chosen to aid the enemy. Why shouldn't you be treated like an enemy?

If Israel did sabotage the Irish Vessel, then Israel is fully justified in doing so, and an answer to the idiotic statement of the Irish PM.Let it be more clear these so called activists are there to provoke and nothing else.Israel has every right to blockade and prevent the terror rulers Of Gaza getting hold of even more lethal weapons from sworn enemies such as Iran to fire at innocent Israeli civilians only a few Kilometres away.It seems People like the Irish PM don't get it and don't care about the deep Israeli concern for the security and well being of her own people.

brain washed tool. All muscle, no brains

The little Irish pro-Hamasniks will stay on their a**es or go back to Eire and pick potatoes not to fall down due to starvation! Who the **** do you think you are???

Perhaps PM Kenny should call on those participating in the flotilla not to take any action that would in any was cause injury or harm (to those protecting Israel). Perhaps PM Kenny could suggest that they aid the Kurds in Turkey, or the Syrians being massacred by their own government. Oh, excuse me, I forgot that those people are not important.

How would he like it if foreigners went into his country and city to specifically break the law??? I'm sure he would not show the goodwill he wants Israel to show to those criminals!

I distinctly remember Turkey announcing that no flotilla boats would be leaving from Turkish ports. I hope our leaders were not stupid enough to believe Turkey yet AGAIN!

go find a job. your economy is in shambles isnt it.

Few ships can hit old floating mines with much danger to passengers!

Hogan is just as bright as Angela, the IDF will have no issue "dealing" with him!

The flotilla organizers are trying to provoke a violent confrontation. If they were sincerely concerned about humanitarian aid for Gazans, they would deliver it through official Israeli entry points. Israel has repeatedly offered to deliver goods after officially inspecting them for weapons. The organizers have refused to comply. Instead, they hope their provocative, hostile breach of the blockade will compel Israel to use force and make Israel look like an aggressor.

Stupid Europians!!!The blockade is not on food,but build materials and anything that can help terrorism to thrive against Israeli civillians.

Your 6ft6 Trevor Hogan will get his butt kicked in by any junior IDF officer lets have no doubt about it.
