Oh, I know. The Egyptian air force was in pieces on the ground, Israel had hurtled through the Sinai at lightning speed, and Egypt Radio was broadcasting "Oh my brothers! Our glorious air force is bombing Tel Aviv to pieces. Our victorious tank brigades are racing to enter Jerusalem, yada, yada ....." Well -- you know what they say -- denial is a river in Egypt!

Israel's enemies are not only a malicious lot. They are also a very stupid lot. If one must have enemies, these are definitely the kind to have. First of all, they can't go to Palestine, because it doesn't exist and never will. Secondly, how will conditions be better for them if they come back? Of course, they won't. Israel has been bless in many ways. Including, apparently, vast energy reserves. Israel has also been blessed with mostly cretinous enemies.

The sixty-something crowd on those luxury boats chanting 1960s campus chants was pathetically ill conceived and misplaced. Alice Walker and her fellow retirees desperately want to relive their salad days in the Sixties. Somehow, Ms. Walker and her aged cohorts connected global warming and the Civil Rights Movement to the Israeli Navy's right to search vessels for Hamas munitions and arms. It must be all that brie and Chablis. A votre sante!

Please consider staying in Greece permanently. You really need to be ready to float at a moments notice.

'Some activists have declared their plan to stay in Greece until given permission to sail to Gaza, and are satisfied with the fact that they have been able to raise awareness if not anything else'. Yes you've raised awareness alright namely that you're a bunch of sanctimonious, hypocritical and pretentious idiots who turn a blind eye to the torture and death taking place all over the arab/muslim world focusing your hatred on Israel the only democracy in the middle east. The sound of air escaping from your inflated egos has really made my day. Meanwhile your revolutionary comrades, the airborne muppets trying to pass themselves off as tourists will hopefully meet a similiar fate. Duh!

Aye, that's the spirit! Warms my Celtic heart to hear of such doings. I trust you had an appropriate toast in honor of floundering, foolish activism as well, yes?

I hope the P.A. is watching the flotilla fiacoes. It's about to be repeated in September on a larger scale. Thd same fate awaits fictional Palestine. In fact, the whupping of the flotillas provides Israel a good rehearsal for the whupping of fictional Palestine. While Israel marches from victory to victory; our foes march from fiasco to fiasco. September will continue the long term trend till Palestine is known to be as fictional as Oz and Neverland.

Love it

great! GO HOME!!!!!!!!!

We are ashamed of these flotilla freaks. They speak for themselves not for the population in Sweden.

Block heads these wartime blockade breakers are.

Oh, Cameron! Of COURSE I -- er. we -- dod! Hard to resist, Approproate toast? Several, actually .... I'll know more when I get the American Express bill ....

Eh? Hope so.

Thank you.

I am amazed at how few of these talkbackers recognize reality. Unless there is a drastic change in Israeli policies toward the palestinians, this issue will not go away. And many more people are now aware of the lengths Israel will go to squelch even non-violent protest. Time is not on your side. The South African whites once thought as you do. That the world powers would always ensure their domination. But, with each passing year, their position deteriorated more and more until the inevitable occurred. Those who can will have their passports ready, only the poor, religious,and those without ties to the outside world will be left in you so-called Jewish paradise.

as you include yourself in the flotilla, which will be never in your lifetime Those that participated in the "Flotilla" at least came to do it; you're hiding in the USA, never having made an effort to leave the safety of your computer There's a drastic change for the worst in America since Obama became President Higher Unemployment Invasive Obamacare Government takeovers of provate companies Inflation on the rise Government taking control of all aspects of your lives, including what you should eat or drink You're just a creep that only sees what's in the backyards of other people and ignores the weeds and filth in his own front yard; you’re merely a turd with a computer keyboard Feel free to come on over and correct us by presenting your opinions in person, rather than hiding behind your computer to do so It's apparent to one and all, you're nothing but a blowhard
