Brian Cohen ,   Judean Peoples Front   (11.04.11)
2. God bless these people
Gilad ,   Rehovot   (11.04.11)
3. Has the flotilla already delivered its good will to Syrian?
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.04.11)
Have the Syrians who are being slaughtered daily seen the advocates of human rights yet...??!! P.S. Is it possible that no flotilla will reach Syria because there are Jews there...??
4. they don't get it
romy ,   ashdod   (11.04.11)
the ppl still don't get it...they can bring what ever they want but Israel first have to check it..that's how it works
5. Gaza Flotilla
NYC Girl   (11.04.11)
Do the world a favor and take your f--king flotilla to a place like Darfur...where people are genuinely suffering.
6. The bankrupt Irish will soon be kicked out from Europe...
Maurice ,   Clichy, France   (11.04.11)
then they can join the Arab league. More affinities than with Europeans...
7. #4 They perfectly get it
Igor ,   Israel, T"A   (11.04.11)
They don't care about pals. They just hate Israel. As simple as this.
8. 4. Oh, they get it. They're a bunch of MUGS!
Ypip ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
9. Iranian reporter and prospective Oleh.
Simon ,   הרצלייה   (11.04.11)
I suggest that we send the reporter back to Iran with the news of the Iranian soldier that wants to make aliyah!
10. Ship of fools indeed...
Jordan Ariel ,   Philadelphia USA   (11.04.11)
Hopefully when the Americans return from their voyage to nowhere... they are arrested for supporting a terrorist entity. Ann Wright included. That would make my day. And no comfy jail either.
11. 9-Why would you want to do that Simon?
Ypip ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
That may place him and his family at risk.
12. Flotilla people, please read the following:
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.04.11)
Legally, of course, despite the fact that some don't like to hear it, the San Remo Conference, 1920, assigned the entire land mass between the Jordan River and the Sea to the Jewish people. This was reiterated by the League of Nations, 1922, and incorporated into the UN Charter, Article 80, which prohibits the UN to tamper with the League of Nations decisions related to the matter discussed. Thus, since legally the nation-state of the Jewish people is engaged in the construction of housing on public land to house the residents of Israel, Arabs and Jews alike, it is not anyone's business to tell the Jews where to build in their own homeland. Indeed, such demands of Jews, only because they are Jewish, to refrain from residing anywhere on earth, and especially in villages, towns and city neighborhoods of their homeland amount to a form of applied racism, anti-Jewish racism, that must cease at once!!
13. Fools !
Abu Yussef al Yahudi ,   Bue_Aires_Argentina   (11.04.11)
Let the Navy divers destroy the propellers and the rudders of these two ships and keep them adrift, without any bloodshed, and say "bye-bye" to this bunch of Israel's haters. They are a flock of fools ! AM ISRAEL CHAI
14. That would be dangerous
Hannah ,   Canada   (11.04.11)
If they went to places that really need aid -- Darfur, somalia, etc -- it could get pretty dangerous. With Israel, they get their photo op, and they don't risk any bodily harm...
15. #9. Simon,, Iranian reporter and prospective Oleh.
Ian ,   Newcastle upon Tyne   (11.04.11)
And I suggest that Israel plays,Iran's,Egypt's,Hamas's etc game and exchange them. If the Iranian reporter still wants to go back to the Mohammedan Republic after he's tasted freedom in Israel,that is. THREE CHEERS FOR ISRAEL!!!
16. fool
p ,   NJ   (11.04.11)
i worked with one of these lunatics- craziest part -her husband an israeli!
17. Flotilla
Katherine ,   Cork city   (11.04.11)
So will France as your banks need to be recapitalised soon. Just because France is calling all the shots now, just wait till they are at the receiving side of their own policies.
18. Media hungry
gefenor.or@gmail.com   (11.04.11)
These flotilla activists are hungry for media attention and they get what they want. The international media and the Israeli media are giving these activists a free publicity pass. I would recommend the Israeli Navy to escort the flotilla to the dock, seize all the goods in the boat, kick the activists to where they came from WITHOUT any media attention. DON'T TRY TO MAKE IT A BIG ISSUE. WE ARE FEEDING INTO THE ACTIVISTS EVIL PLANS.
19. Another Publicity Stunt for Useful Idiots
Koose E Mack ,   NY NY   (11.04.11)
Thousands of tons of med supplies are sent to Gaza by land on a routine basis. There is absolutely no need to send it by ship; unless, these "peace activists" want to bypass inspection by Israeli authorities. Bring the ships into port, arrest the morons on board, and inspect the cargo. if the cargo is good, allow them to pay for trucking it to Gaza. If contraband is found, seize the ships and make them into artificial reefs.
20. Arrest them and place a million dollar bond on each person
Isaac Storm   (11.04.11)
Arrest them, place a million dollar bond on each person, confiscate the ship and sell it. If participants do not show up for trial, keep bond. If participants are found guilty, make them pay restitution to the IDF and the state of Israel.
21. People do face starvation
BH ,   Iowa   (11.04.11)
but the food that could save them goes to the overflowing markets of Gaza instead.
22. male them pay the cost of sending the navy
DOV ,   usa   (11.04.11)
23. #20 Fully agree with you
Janis ,   Silkeborg, Denmark   (11.04.11)
as this is a costly affair for the Israeli navy. All the resources used ought to be paid back in full.....
24. why thishate
Ali ,   Gaza   (11.04.11)
We live under siege , Israel left Gaza , we must be free to have our own seaport, receive flotilla or what ever . we need our own free seaside , our airport, we need to be members in UNISCO and UN ..we need to live in freedom and dignity like the others..stop hating us pleaaaaaaaase . this is even better for you ..better to have happy neighbour rather than abgry neighbour or ???
25. failure
Israel Israeli ,   Tel Aviv   (11.04.11)
Capturing these terrorist supporters is a failure. If these fools had tried to break the NATO blockade of Libya the ships would be sunk and the terrorist supporters drowned.
26. Israel should be hijacking the story from them.
Harry Wright ,   UK   (11.04.11)
Israel is in a position to be in front with this story and should be minimizing their activism and maximizing the peaceful resolution and termination of the ill-conceived venture. Israel should be flooding the media with wonderful pictures. Preempt them, that's what.
27. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.04.11)
In your stead, I'd worry more about Ireland, whom most experts seem to believe is the next European country that will head into bankruptcy.
28. NO IHH / Turks involved
David Israel ,   New York, USA   (11.04.11)
There were no IHH / Turks involved therefore it all went peacefully. One more time it proves that when protestors / activists are not violent then there are no dead nor wounded.
29. Seize, Auction, Sell and Apply the Proceeds
Noah Lev ,   LosAngelesUSA   (11.04.11)
Israel should determine its cost, including of course time spent by its navy, paid for by taxpayer shekels. The incarceration, police interviews, unloading of contraband, and immigration process costs gelt, as we say. Navy diverted could be used elsehwere, more productive. So this impinges on Israeli security. The Irish and Canadians who sponsored it, want a PR fiasco...which would undermine Israel's support (the real goal). Take the medicines, etc.,and redistribute to Israeli medical providers. The ships themelves, should be sold at auction..with proceeds used to pay the costs. Until Israel gets tough, this will be a constant nusance to them...and part of the war between Israel and its enemies. It could also,simply send torpedos, but that is being cruel I suppose.
30. A bunch of phonies of no consequence
Sidney ,   USA   (11.04.11)
The media are the fools for giving them publicity over nothing. They are bringing $30,000 of "medical equipment", the Gazans have all the bandaids that they need. For $30,000 you couldn't buy one modern medical device. Nor are these people humanitarians, Assad is slaughtering his people every day and they want to help Gazans destroy Israel.
