1. Gaza Again?
M Carr ,   Baltimore, USA   (10.20.12)
How dare the Israeli forces intercept these brave activists on their way to bring attention to the slaughter going on in Syria... What? Gaza?! Never mind…
2. Sink the damn thing....
Batman ,   Gotham City, Lebanon   (10.20.12)
..... And don't take prisoners... No mercy for these terror supporting idiots...
3. A ship of evil fools again!
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.20.12)
They "risk their lives" How pathetic! they know exactly that Israel is the only country in the ME where they would NOT risk thier lives by breakinga legal siege, unless they attack like on the Mavi. Detain them and release them only after they have payed the costs of the IDF involvement!
4. Bloody fool!
Mira ,   Vienna   (10.20.12)
" The siege is inhuman and immoral, and this is the reason - as non-violent peaceful activists -- (we) decide(d) to risk ourselves and break the siege." (said Mor) while the daily bombinng of Israeli civilians is human moral? Don't be so pathetic, you did not risk your lives provocating Israel and you knew it. In any other country in the ME (and especially in Gaza) you would already be dead if you tried such a thing against them. The Gazans must be ROFLOL about being able to be supported by such a lot of usefull idiots!
5. hamas inhumane more like it
frank ,   caulfield   (10.20.12)
human shields, money for weapons instead of practical necessities, sharia ancient medieval laws, hell bent on destruction of israel. reut mor should be deported to gaza.
6. Chain the moron leftist together like..
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.20.12)
..a slave-gang, and let them walk to Gaza. From there they should find their own way to their homeland, through the gaza-tunnells. Put the leftist norwegian member of parlament, Aksel Hagen, an anti-israel-lover, at the back of the chain-gang.. And do not forget to sink the ship, it has broken a legal blocade and can legally be sunk.
7. Reut Mor, an Israeli activist...
Beary White ,   Norway   (10.20.12)
I know some people have been born without brain. But most extraordinary it is when some persons are born without IQ of some kind. Must be medical sensations and Reut Mor and the leftist norwegian politician Aksel Hagen, are members of that group, born without IQ, unable to learn..sailing and sailing on ships with only one destination, Ashdod. :-) LOL
8. Another load of dummies
big bad Jew ,   United States   (10.20.12)
Glad they were boarded and stopped. They waste valuable resources by becoming sailing terrorists trying to break a legal blockade. Throw the book at them, confiscate the ship and jail and fine them to send a message, no more illegal blockade busting idiots allowed to come near the borders.
9. Finnish ship
Zeboss ,   Israel   (10.20.12)
Non violent pacifists trying to " break" a blockade ??? That's what pacifists do our days??
10. Such a small country and so many Kapos !
ab   (10.20.12)
11. Flotilla
David ,   Netanya   (10.20.12)
While in Gaza, perhaps they could get hold of an iPhone 5 for me. We primitive Israelis don't have how to buy one yet.
12. Just wondering
Isac   (10.20.12)
if Reut Mor and the other morons could find a real challenge for example in Syria, Russia, Iran or North Korea where he would be most likely be killed by armed forces if he would have made the attempt to breach a siege. I can give you already now the answer: NO! The reason why those "activists" dare the Israelis is, that they will get away in Israel with their "revolutionary" actions.
13. What the IDF should do
Mladen Andrijasevic ,   Beer Sheva, Israel   (10.20.12)
Now if the IDF had any sense for public relations they should stick quotes from the Hamas Charter on the side on the ship so that the world media when it films the ship reads what Hamas stands for. For instance Article 7 of the Hamas Charter reads: http://www.memri.org/report/en/0/0/0/0/0/0/1609.htm "The hour of judgment shall not come until the Muslims fight the Jews and kill them, so that the Jews hide behind trees and stones, and each tree and stone will say: 'Oh Muslim, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him,' except for the Gharqad tree, for it is the tree of the Jews." Article 7 is taken from Hadith Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 177 http://www.hadithcollection.com/sahihbukhari/85/3715-sahih-bukhari-volume-004-book-052-hadith-number-177.html Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The Hour will not be established until you fight with the Jews, and the stone behind which a Jew will be hiding will say. "O Muslim! There is a Jew hiding behind me, so kill him."
14. myötä häpeä on suuri!!
Pink Elephant   (10.20.12)
Why you even try? Im embarrased on your behalf....
15. Such a shame
Eveliina ,   Finland   (10.20.12)
Just want to tell not all us Finns are as stupid as those "peace activists". I am so sorry for their stupidity.
16. This does not represent the Finnish people
Niko Kalhola ,   Finland   (10.20.12)
As a Finn, to you Israelis living under constant threat of terror, I say sorry on behalf of these stupid people, "activists". Every sane Finnish person supports Israel.
17. iwill sue the swedish and norway govt for breaching my
joe ,   kfar saba   (10.20.12)
country territorial waters and we like any other israeli should sue them not forgeting the deportation expenses and housing plus the cost derived from the naval interception of the boat end
18. i forgot u nordics u should have sailed to syria or iran
joe ,   kfar saba israel   (10.20.12)
19. Goods on ship
Conroy ,   Toronto Canada   (10.20.12)
The IDF should hand all the goods on that ship of fools to the citizens of Sderot and surrounding area who have to endure continual rocket fire from the Gaza terrorists. Maintain the siege until the rockets stop!!
20. Activist
Danny ,   Chile   (10.20.12)
If you are non-violent peaceful activists,go to southern Israel and wait until a " non violent missil" from Gaza lands on you in a civilian street, ,house, etc. And Syrian people dont deserve your atention,if you are so humanitarian?
21. Ship to gaza - ship for jihad?
Markus Valiant ,   Stockholm Sweden   (10.20.12)
"There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors." From the Hamas charter, chapter twelve.
22. Let us hope this time Israel sizes the boat and refuse to...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (10.20.12)
...release it. such an action will finally send a message to boat owners to stop leasing their ships to people whose interest is to demonize Israel, de-legitimize it, to seek its very demise. No boat owner would allow people to use his boat when he/she knows in advance that the boat will be sized for good.
23. Donate all seized "flotilla" cargo to Sderot rocket victims
Dr. L. Brnd ,   San Diego, USA   (10.20.12)
Likewise, sell the captured ship and sell it at auction, with the proceeds used to pay for the IDF expenses in intercepting it, and the remainder donated to Sderot to pay for rocket damage. Perfectly legal under international law. This is what the US does to ships seized for drug smuggling and human trafficking. Its what France and Italy do to cigarette smuggling ships. The cargo should NOT be transferred to Gaza - that option was available to the organizers only before they refused to deliver it to Ashdod, as ordered. Now they lose it, and the ship also. This is the best way to prevent more flotilla stunts. And the passengers - hold them until they or their governments pay for airfare home and the cost of room and board in Israel until they leave - at 5-star hotel rates. The captain and 1st mate should be jailed as smugglers - what the US does. 5-10 years is typical. Obama won't complain - its what his own government does. Sweden and Finland? Who gives a damn what they think.
24. Gaza flotilla
Edouard ,   Montreal Canada   (10.20.12)
Well done boys This provacators will have to buy a tiket to go back home Keep the boat ,sale it and give the money to terror victims and family
25. But seriously, who cares ?
Yossef   (10.20.12)
26. #15 Eveliina, don't worry, we are smart enough
Yossef   (10.20.12)
to juge people by what they do, and not by what nation/religion/etc. they come from. But thanks for your support :-)
27. Estelle
KGS ,   Jyväskylä   (10.20.12)
The Israeli embassy in Helsinki did a fine job explaining the situation, that the blockade is legal, the provocation illegal and that any aid to Gaza can be handled by the normal UN channels. Also, that there's no humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
28. Deport them but try Feiler for Treason.
David ,   Karmiel, Israel   (10.20.12)
They want to go to Gaza then send them there and let them stay there. Maybe then they will see how Hamas abuses its people. Another solution would be to send them to Syria and let them watch Assad slaughter his own people. Of course we all know that these "people" revel when they see Jewish blood spilled and the throats of Jewish children cut while they sleep! After all, Sweden, Norway, Greece, Spain and the rest of Europe stood by while the Nazis, who they supported, massacred Jews. What makes the whole Gaza thing totally farcical is that these pro-Palestinian "do-gooders" will go to the end of the world to vilify Israel but they do NOTHING about the plight of people in East and West Africa who are being butchered, raped and maimed by Muslim Warlords and heads of state!
29. Media
shelly ,   israel   (10.20.12)
Israel should not allow any contact with media,take them to BG and deport.
30. troublemaker vessel
patrizia ,   Venice, Italy   (10.20.12)
I bet Iran is behind the financing of these malicious people, disguised as pacifists. There is not humanitarian crisis in Gaza, many countries in the world especially in Africa are far worse off than the Gaza. These so called pacifists are highly politicized and they answer to specific and particular interests in the ME
