31. Why, Why would you interview such a moron
Jorge ,   Tegucigalpa   (11.06.11)
Why is this front page material, anyone with any sense would know what he was going to say, why is it that Israels journalists are always siding and giving confort to Israels enemies
32. #14 the medical supplies
nahum514 ,   Eilat:Israel   (11.06.11)
you are referring to are non-existant there were none onboard, the only thing on board this ship of fools is exactly that, fools looking for a provacation. you want to help those "poor starving helpless gazan" kids, you must find them first....gaza seems to be the best place in the world right now for arabs in definitly more ways than one

Hey Loon, tell us another fairytale.

35. His lies are so obvious
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (11.06.11)
"At first, we agreed to let them board the ship so they could see we weren’t transporting weapons – so we could continue to Gaza , but they changed their minds and wouldn’t give us any explanation." - Total BS - they were flat out told that they would NEVER be allowed to sail to Gaza. This was stated many many times. Since he has lied about this we can be sure that everything else he said is a lie as well.
36. Kol Ha'Kavod!
John ,   Alaska   (11.06.11)
The INF did their job and did it well - keep up the good work! The court system did not do its job as well. The young man from Haifa should have been deported to Gaza, and all the terrorist supporters should have been fined significantly more. When the US citizens return to the States, they should immediately be taken into custody for attempting to aid terrorists and held without bond until their trial.
37. Pathetic Fools
Roy ,   USA   (11.06.11)
So there was no drama this time, a litle cry baby act with some fabrication is always worth a try. Empty, deluded souls!
38. These cowards don't dare to send flotilla to Syria. Its easy
and fun in Israel   (11.06.11)
They dont' care about supporting suffering people in Syria. 3000 people have been killed and more are being killed every day by the Syrian government. Syria is next to Israel but these cowards dont' dare to send a flotilla to Syria. They know Syrians wont' hesitate to shoot them or put them in jails and torture them to death. Sending flotilla toward Gaza is easier. Israelis are nice to them and it dons't cost them anything. Its a fun trip to go to Israel.
39. #14 Leon- They had NO Medical Supplies
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
They were using that as an excuse to break a legal blockade, there wasn't 2cents wort of supplies between the two ships If you're an Algonquin, it is no wonder they lost the wars, if they had idiots like your for warriors
40. Majid Kial
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Must be made to leave immediately, never to return Since he likes to travel on ships, book him passage on the "Flying Dutchman", a ship that never makes port
41. they don't want to leave. fine. drop them off
ralph   (11.06.11)
with only the clothes on their back in gaza. confiscate everything else. hum, gun to his head..what does this criminal expect? a hot cooked meal? idiot.
42. Trouble maker got a free boat ride, didn't get hurt
Bunnie Meyer ,   Los Angeles, CA USA   (11.06.11)
and wants the world to feel sorry for him. What a cry baby, go suck your thumb in some other country.
43. irish & canadian terrorists on board
joel ,   usa   (11.06.11)
WELL, THE CAPTAIN SHOULD BE DETAINED, HE KNEW EXACTLY THE PROTOCOL IN INTERNATIONAL MARITIME PROCEDURES, HE KNEW THAT THE WATERS ARE ISRAEL'S SOVEREIGN TERRITORY, THIS PROVOCATIONS WILL GO BECAUSE ISRAEL IS TOO SOFT TO THOSE PROFESSIONAL SEAFARERS WHO ARE BOUND TO OBSERVE INTERNATIONAL MARITIME RULES, OK? ITS ISRAEL'S FAULT, OK?
44. #14
yehudit ,   Israel   (11.06.11)
Something not overly covered by most mainstream media. These ships contained not even 1 kilo of aid, medical or otherwise. Their sole purpose was to breach the entirely legal blockade of Gaza to help Hamas to be able to bring in weapons by sea. They admit (read the article Leon) that their intention is to create a provocation, one they can recast on their terms and to tie up Israeli resources prosecuting them. I'm sure this Israeli Arab is disappointed that he got told to stay in Israel and out of trouble. HE of all of these morons should have been locked up. You don't aid your country's enemies, especially when they are attacking you. Of course with Arab leadership like Zoabi, he doesn't understand that citizenship creates some obligations.
45. To nr. 14 (Israeli Piracy)
Sunny ,   Israel   (11.06.11)
There were no supplies on the flotilla, no medical or otherwise. Just another provocation. Try a freedom flotilla to Syria!
46. ahh did the nasty zionists spoil your cruise
zionist forever   (11.06.11)
Those idiots want to take cruises to Gaza, knowing it will not be allowed to reach Gaza then they can't complain when their ship is hijacked by the navy. As for that Majid Keil is knowingly broke the law and he got off light with just a 3000 Shekel and one month travel ban.
47. @Leon ,Algonquin
Yitzhak ,   TA   (11.06.11)
I suggest that you educate yourself in law before opening your mouth. Under the laws of the sea, vessels carrying a military commission cannot commit piracy. I hope that this clears up your confusion.
48. #14 leon
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.06.11)
There were NO medical supplies on board. The sole purpose was to break a LEGAL blockade; to try and do so is ILLEGAL. 'Fascist boot'? Try Hamas in Gaza, the very place to which these guys wanted to bring their non-existent supplies.
49. To #14
sabashimon ,   USA   (11.06.11)
Yo fool! Did you bother to read the article? There were NO medical supplies. That's okay, I know the facts have never held much interest for you and your kind. Aiza Temble.
50. Decline his Israeli citienship
Avram Goldsmith ,   Toronto, Canada   (11.06.11)
Zero tolerance to Israeli citizen which support terorism and Gaza should be declared Military Zone. This is an abberation and weakness of system to respond to such cases.
51. #32,33,39,44,45,48,49 frustrated?remedy wasn't materialistic
observer ,   Egypt   (11.06.11)
52. Read the international rules at sea, racist fools
(11.06.11)
Any vessel trying to breach an legal blockade can be considered enemy and dealt however the other party decides. It can be sunk, disabled, or towed to any harbor. These racist and genocidal "activists" - or getter said irresponsible and hateful useful idiots - can be thankful that the Israeli Navy took the more humane and responsible alternative. If you want o "help" Gaza, go through Egypt. If you try to slap Israel, expect to get slapped back, or worse. All our options are open, valid, natural, legitimate and LEGAL, despite these pirates' attacks.
53. #14 "Activists" performed an act of War.
(11.06.11)
They tried to break a legal blockade (read the UN Palmer report, imbecile), and they were dealt with by the Israeli Navy in the most humane way anybody can treat a bunch of suicidal useful fools, incited by the Muslim racist and genocidal propaganda. Your rants are pathetic slogans that don't pass here. Try Al Jazeera.
54. #28 graczek
solomon ,   bklyn   (11.06.11)
Let's take this once again, but slowly; The...Gaza...blockade...is...legal.....It...is...legal...to...stop...ships...trying...to...break...a...blockade....The...blockade...is...to...prevent...arms...from...reaching...Hamas...something...which...you...expectedly...ignore.
55. Immigration Authority
observer ,   Egypt   (11.06.11)
"entering sovereign territory 80 km off-shore without visa" should have been instead handled by foreign affair ministry or by the Mossad.
56. Majd: "student of racism and genocide"
(11.06.11)
He should be kicked out from the university where he's supposedly a student and allowed to practice his extra-curricular "activism" in some murderous Muslim heaven.
57. Disgrace
Helga ,   Rishon Lezion   (11.06.11)
I don't know why this article and lies was printed in the first place.
58. -14
Michael ,   West Jerusalem   (11.06.11)
I am a zionist/ central left wing. I'm not a facist. So shut up you know nothing about us.
59. activists
Sam M ,   UK   (11.06.11)
Lets face it even if these morons were put up in 5 star hotels they would still complain of mistreatment. They're beneath contempt.
60. THEY WERE HIJACKED ON THE LOW
LAWRENCE ,   SAFED ISRAEL   (11.06.11)
Seas...or was it Lowjacked on the high seas ? never mind .They were also gang raped or "Graped " ...there were a bunch of them .
