Was declared a legal act of defense .

And , if needed , they can have medical treatement in Israel for difficult cases .

now has responsigbility tfor Egypt's territorial waters. The Estelle was captured in Egypt's soveriegn territory, I hope for an appropriate response from Egypt shortly

That they can perform such a wasteful act without being sunk or murdered at sea like would have happened to them had they tried breaching any Arab country's sovereignty

Do not release the parliament members from Greece and Spain before both countries repay their salaries to the European Union.After all I don't think European workers would agree that their money is being lended (given) so that Greeks and Spaniards can go on a cruise or go on strike every second day instead of looking for a job.....

Excellent!

which is encouraging Arabs to attack Israel

Thank you for your reasuring words regarding the Finnish people. However, this boat is sailing under a Finnish FLAG. Anything sailing under a Finnish flag is the responsibility of the Finnish government and as long as that government doesn't say otherwise, it represents Finland. May I suggest that you post your thoughts in a Finnish web site that may make a difference. Please don't get me wrong, I have much sympathy for the Finnish people.

tunnels to smuggle weapond into Gaza. Ten years in prison is needed for each of the Israel-haters aboard.

To prevent these bumbling idiotic radicals from such acts, confiscate their ship & send them to jail & make them pay a hefty fine for playing with Jewish lives. Europe is already in the throes of Islam & their radicals. They will pine for Israeli justice when they meet their fate with the Islamist terrorists!

Passenger on board the ship you mentioned, didn't make the voyage just to get their pictures in the news, those of the Estelle did

Crusades, Spanish Inquisition, Pogroms all incited & carried out by Priests

Where was this cement then , if not in one of the two holds ? And insulting people [ even if they are 100 % wrong as in this case ] shows again your "level"

Read what the Israeli guy on board said , don't invent untrue facts .

When will these deluded fools understand that Gaza has everything needing nothing barring the STOPPING of their lobing rockects everyday into innocent Jewish civiians. It would behoove these lot to read the Hamas Charter before embarking on another stupid venture. They sure have far too much EMPTY TIME on their hands . When will this comedy stop? Firstly the BLOCKADE IS LEGAL Secondly if they insist then Ashdod waits for them. Frankly it angers me on the fact of inflicting more work on our people having unwanted additional work they have enough to carry out without these damn silly people .

I have egyptian friends living and working in the sinai and they can do without anything else bringing them closer to violence and further from tourist dollars. the estelle got what it hoped for and all its goods will still get to gaza but its not enough for you? what more? a long term egyptian israel border closure so the families of taba staff can go hungry? what about another three way border skirmish so some mothers can mourn? maybe the tension could go high enough to turn sharm into a ghost town of unemployed egyptian youth? you have no evidence the estelle was seized in egyptian waters (and it almost certainly wasnt) or what effect that would have on the legality of all parties actions if it was. when are you "pro arab" self righteous types going to actually get around to being pro arab?

Olive trees in the cargo? Are they nuts? There is a world olive glut and everyone is pulling trees out!

Israel has the right to enforce its fully legal and internationally recognized blockade of Gaza ANYWHERE. What part of the word ANYWHERE do you not understand?

Poor Vivi: If a blockade against a terrorist organization is a problem for you please invite the Russians to put missiles in Cuba again. Better still why don't you take a ship up the Somali coast? Be sure there are no Israeli security guards on your ship. As an American tax payer you should just trust your country to keep you safe. I trust mine to attempt to do the same. Sadly we fight a war against terrorists not nations on a daily basis. Missiles fly out of Gaza and land in Israel near kindergartens and pizza parlours. Finland, Norway and Spain as nations understand this. Only foolish people who believe terrorist propaganda think there is a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Running the blockade is illegal and anyone who attempts it can LEGALLY be sunk by the Israeli military. That Israel hasn't done this is proof of Israel's humanitarian nature. Were the positions reversed I promise you Hamas would sink vessels

BUT YOU CAN NOT LIE TO EVERYONE ALL THE TIME

Gosh, Charles, why don't you watch or read the news? The cement was on pallets ON THE DECK OF THE VESSEL. Get a fricken' education, can't you? No, of course you can't. You're far too stupid. Pauvre con, toi! Just get lost.

BRAVO! It is wonderful to see some good news for a change. Naturally, our state run media here has not, and will not report on this matter. I wonder if Mr. obama will call this an act of terrorism? The murder of our ambassador and others, the massacre at Ft. Hood stc., were not considered terrorism by this pro islamist administration.....but siezure of a ship? How awful. What an inconvenience for the "Usual suspects" - islamists, communists and their ilk on board this ship. Again, a huge BRAVO to Israel and its leadership for this act. Israeli leadership, obviously does not "Lead from behind" as our present administration does.

Only recently over 10 thousand people died in Syria. Hundreds of thousands had to leave their homes as refugees to neighboring countries. They need food, clothes and shelter, they don't care about iPhones but not one ship sails to help them. Not one so called humanitarian activist acts for them. If this is not hypocrisy if this is not anti Semitism what is it?

Your understanding is sadly misinformed. You need to check the law first. Israel has a legal right to blockade Gaza. Humanitarian aid can and is brought in via land crossings. The need for these supplies is actually fairly limited Gaza has most of what it needs in terms of medical and basic necessities. The ship was offered safe passage to the legal port of Ashdod and refused to go. Legally Israel could sink the ship but chose to board it instead and force it to Ashdod. I hope that helps with your "understanding." If not, do some research on your own

There is an American short story, ""The Man Without a Country" is a short story by American writer Edward Everett Hale, first published anonymously in The Atlantic in December 1863." that should guide the government of Israel. Take away the Israeli citizenship and passport of these Israeli traitors aboard. Let them go to Sweden, South Africa, Iran, or hell but not pollute Israel.

These aging hippies on the good ship Estelle, watched one too many episodes of Gilligan's Island. The photo posted shows them smug, with an inflated sense of infantile self importance. They pretend to care about the manufactured issue of Gaza but in reality only gloat on seeing themselves in the press.

are u talking about Finland?

responsible for all the trouble they have caused. Make them part with $20K - $30K and that should do it. Keep them safe and well looked after, but incarcerated and incommunicado with the rest of the World until their obligations are paid off. While at it keep running the tap to encourage speedy response.

And , intervene in territorial waters of an other country ? Insults is the only thing that comes ou of your mouth [ sale bec }

Make it clear to the next ones that it will cost them dearly.
