1. Canada should issue warning not to attempt break of blockade
Abraham ben Jacob ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
Canadian citizens attempting to break Israel's legal naval blockade of Gaza should be warned not to violate Israeli and international legal blockade.
2. Oops Did I accidently drop your HD Video camera in the water
meir elazar   (11.04.11)
Oh that was so clumsy of me. And it was such a nice HD digital video camera. I hope the fish like it.
3. This flotilla is so hillarious. The Irish urge their
Harry Wright ,   UK   (11.04.11)
government to demand that Israel allow them free passage to Gaza and also, that Israel ensure the Irish citizens' safety. Having unilaterally decided to engage in an illegal act, they are soliciting support from their government in their personal mission of confronting, provoking and challenging a foreign country. They think they are in the diplomatic corps or what? This is just too funny. I wonder about the presence of brains in their skulls. If so, they must be rather miniscule.
4. Is this for real? I saw this on twitter and can't believe it
Harry Wright ,   UK   (11.04.11)
TheDersh Alan Dershowitz I can't wait for peaceful IDF commandos w/ M16s of coexistence to illegally board #FreedomWaves in int'l waters from helicopters of love.
5. Scumb
Pasquinel ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
These degenerates thugs do not represent Canada these are just some low lifes being paid by socialists that hate God , and should be pitied .Put them in prison and you will find out how Canadians feel about them. May GOD bless Israel as you continue the construction of The City Of The Great King,
6. Davey Jones has made a place for them
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.04.11)
in his locker Davy Jones's Locker - a fictional place at the bottom of the ocean. In short, a term meaning death. Davey Jones was said to sink every ship he ever over took, ...
7. row your boat to oblivion
dony ,   canada   (11.04.11)
Antisemitic imbeciles.
8. flotilla
joel ,   usa   (11.04.11)
if it insist on violating israeli sovereignty, then you have to sunk it deep down that no one will survive, its aggression against a sovereign state, ha, ha, ha! you have to teach people to respect other countries laws, lawless people must be dealt with severely, OK?
9. The flotillers do this for sex. It makes them feel lustful.
Daniel ,   Los Angeles, USA   (11.04.11)
These people would never find a mate in the real world. Maybe they'll have babies with each other. That's a good thing.
10. Tired, empty symbolism at this point
Cameron ,   USA   (11.04.11)
11. Iranian journalist ?
Nora Tel Aviv   (11.04.11)
He wants to be held by Israeli soldiers? What a provocation by Ahmadimonkey.
12. So over these idiots..why arent they protesting about Syria?
(11.04.11)
Complete idiots, if they really cared about the state of the world - they would be taking aim at the REAL problems. No, these people are anti-semites and this activity is more fun than complaining about Assad.
13. Is this part of the flotilla heading for Syria...??
JBI   (11.04.11)
14. Canada is against these flotillas!
Maurice ,   Montreal   (11.04.11)
The Canadian government is one of the strongest supporters of Israel in her fight against the terrorist hub that is Gaza. These "Canadians" on this ship do not represent in the least Canada. They are a bunch of losers that have become the laughing stock of the world.
15. the rejects of humanity are on their way to Gaza
Charlot   (11.04.11)
The Canadian sluts, the American whores are on a ' high '. The two floating bordellos will amply accomodate their dreams for lust with the encouragement and help of the rejects of Irish society ' their activists ', who need no introductions.
16. Irish Canadian "flotilla"
Adam ,   London   (11.04.11)
The Irish are such ignorant Jew hating bastards. Their anti-semetism has been burning for years. You only have to look at their behaviour in WW2. If you look a the names of the leaders of this movement of hate you will see that their Fathers were the ones working with the Nazis. Thats a fact.
17. Irish idiots
Noel ,   Cork, Ireland   (11.04.11)
These Irish wankers are definitely not representative of Irish opinion - they are just an embarressment. After not getting their way with the previous flotilla they waste resources to satisfy their desire to "get their way". We irish wish they would mature and stop acting like spoilt children
18. "Freedom " has become a cheap and almost meaningless word
Su ,   Jerusalem   (11.04.11)
Today Hamas and these flotilla people label terrorists as freedom fighters- Terrorists adopt holocaust symbols as their own Words which used to strike an emotional cord are now completely distorted and lose their meaning
19. English ignorance
mick murphy ,   dublin   (11.04.11)
the comments of Adam are typical of some 19th century racist English supremacist. You know nothing about Ireland or Irish people.if we are so anti Jewish , why do we have we consistently elected Jewish people to out parliament, why is one of our senior ministers Jewish? Maybe you should try educated yourself a little before posting.
20. They go to help those who kill Israelis.....
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (11.04.11)
hold a soldier captive without access to the Red Cross in defiance of the Geneva Convention and commit the most heinous terror acts but they close their eyes to the massacres being carried out by the Syrian Government against their own people. This isn't not "We love Gaza". It's we hate Jews, Israel and blatant Antisemitism!
21. #3 and others
frank   (11.04.11)
seriously, its like a few hundred people in the entire country that are involved in this type of stuff. the rest of the four million couldnt give less of a toss about your crappy country (including the palestinians). this barely, if at all, makes the news in ireland.
22. These Irish and Canadians who have nothing
meghan ,   israel   (11.04.11)
better to do, do not represent the majority of their countrymen. I am sure we have many fanatic leftys who would love to join these flotillas. Gaza lacks for nothing, (seen the new mall?) so its just provocation and a lot more fun than demonstrating on streets. Also includes a cruise on the Med!!!!
23. 1.- It has. They're breaking the advisory.
Ypip ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
Like the article says; its typical PA propaganda technique *provacation*. The government also advised that it can't ensure their safety, while strongly recommending them not to provoke Israeli law. I think the government may be able to sue them for using our national flag for such a stunt. Its a government trade mark and their deliberately not listening to orders. Personally, I could care less if the IDF blew their fancy expensive yahts to kingdom come and turn the spoiled brats into fish food.
24. Its an interesting thing to look into
Ypip ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
that should an organization disobey its country while at the same time falsely representing that country for its cause is eligible for prosecution before a judge.... Interesting to look into...
25. mick murphy dublin
(11.04.11)
Ireland have elected Jewish senior minister,because of his brain,and the Irish Government needs him
26. Y r u doing this in winter rough Mediterranean Sea?
Israeli Sailor ,   Israel   (11.04.11)
TO THE MEMBERS OF THE FLOTILLA...did any of you bother to think about the fact that at this time of year the Mediterranean Sea turns winter rough and very mean? No? Well fine, you bunch of irresponsible so called sailors when (when, not if) when you send out the calls "Securite" followed by treble "Pan-Pan" but before you get to "Mayday" it will be the Israel Defense Forces Navy who will be the only one in the region able to answer your urgent calls. And you know what? Even though you are against use we will come out and save your FOOLISH A$$ES from the rough seas. We will save your FOOLISH A$$ES because we are responsible sailors who know how to behave correctly in life threatening situations. You on the other hand can't even identify a true existential threat!
27. Stamp their passports with Israeli entry visas
Rick ,   Whatever   (11.04.11)
So the Iranian journalist won't be able to go back to Iran, and the western useful idiots would not be allowed to visit their favorite countries anymore.
28. Peaceful group
Shane ,   Dublin Ireland   (11.04.11)
I do not know how you have come to this conclusion. I know them all well and nothing in your hate filled comment is justified
29. 28- Shane
Malach HaMavet ,   Gehenem   (11.05.11)
Your "Peaceful group" is breaking the law by attempting to break a legal blockade Latest news is they now have the peace of being n the custody of Israeli authorities
30. #28 As usual...
Phil ,   Ireland   (11.07.11)
...a so called "peaceful group" care nothing that people in Gaza live under an Islamic extremist government which not only openly calls for Muslims to kill Jews, but also violently suppresses oppostion. It is my first hand experience that the pro-Palestinian supporters in Ireland have a lot of hate-filled comments of their own.
