1. The best answer
Frank ,   Canada   (11.25.13)
Let them cross the lines, prevent them from returning and escort them to Egypt
2. "Foreign activists", i.e. Islamist Hamas collaborators,
NL Katz ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (11.25.13)
ought to take their "progressive" ideas and try to ensure that Syria ceases slaughtering the hundreds of thousands of children, men, women, the elderly and the disable. But, of course, "progressive" translates now a days to anti-Jewish racism, hence the eagerness to collaborate with Islamist Hamas and Islamic Jihad in order to help undermine Israel's security, it being the liberal democratic and sovereign nation-state of the Jewish people.
3. Is zoabi rushing to enroll?
no zoabi ,   a sane world   (11.25.13)
Well, i bet she does. This time, israekis, make sure to prevent her return. She needs to settle in her only homeland. I am referring not to Nazareth, but to Hamasland. There she could taste the fruits of pallystinian life. I am sure she and her supposed secularism will be fitted there :-P
4. If humanitarians then why don't they set sail for Syria?
EST ,   Miami USA   (11.25.13)
5. Please sink it Israel
k ,   US   (11.25.13)
in light of this "Iranian" thing, nothing would make me happier then to see Israel sink this ship, I think the world would not really care so much since the world is now siding with Iran, so now Israel has a green light to do whatever they want please sink it!!
6. again garbagge to be dumped into the sea end
joe ,   RAANANA ISRAEL   (11.25.13)
7. Sink them all, and give a chance to the fish to feed
David ,   Montreal, Canada   (11.25.13)
8. Update on Gaza sewage flow
Aaron ,   Silver Spring, USA   (11.25.13)
from treatment plants being allowed to flow untreated into the sea.
9. Whenever the "palestinians" feel that the world is losing
A ,   Belgium   (11.25.13)
interest in them and their self-inflicted problems, either Abbas goes off on another of his rant and rave sessions (see you at the Knesset, Mahmoudi, or the ICC) or Hamas either shoots rockets into Israel or try another imbecilic stunt like a flotilla. Why should the world even care that "Gaza is still under closure",aren't their enough more serious problems that need to be dealt with first, besides that human cesspool controlled by corrupt and criminal terrorists?
10. Gazan Islamic EducationSystem
Zechariah   (11.25.13)
Holocaust Denial the Arab Revolts against Jewish escape from Genocide to the Empty Areas of Mandated Palestine before 1939 these are Relevant to Conflict than the Gazans Difficult Conditions. Plus the Rejection of the Partition Plans by Genocide threats against the Surviving Jews by the Arab League in 1947.
11. New Gaza Flotilla
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (11.25.13)
Godspeed and Christ's blessings to the new Gaza Flotilla. The world is with you!
12. #11
The Bald Scotsman ,   Tampa USA   (11.26.13)
Hyw Graczek, On the subject of Christ's Blessings. How do you feel about Islamic hatred and persecutions of Christians? Also, how come in Israel Christians may practice their faith openly and without fear. I lived in Israel for a number of years and have witnessed different Christian denominations living there in complete freedom and with out fear. The same thing cannot be said i'm afraid for Catholics and protestants in the country of my birth, where both groups hate and fear each other. Oh wait a minute, could it just possibly be that you are one gigantic anti-semite. If you are not then may Christ's blessings go with you.
13. Left has no need to send flotilla to Syria
David ,   USA   (11.26.13)
Israel is not doing the killing. It's more romantic on the left to attack Israel. If the left got what it wants, the end of Israel, its concern for human rights in the ME would end.
14. Going is not coming, let them.
leo ,   usa   (11.26.13)
15. Bless their little hearts!
Carl ,   USA   (11.26.13)
Those poor Palestinians just were'nt getting enough press lately, what with all the massacres in Syria, imploding "Arab spring" in Egypt, nuclear meltdown in Iran, and ongoing Islamic terrorism. Got to keep that Pal issue alive!
16. Even the Egyptians....
USA   (11.26.13)
Even the Egyptians, fellow Arabs of the Gazans have blockaded Gaza. It is not the Israeli's alone...so ask, why!!!!
17. @ 12; untrue
Myconius ,   lwd   (11.26.13)
Visit any of the 10% Palestinian christians, and you will find out you are not telling the truth.
18. #2 How true.
Yael ,   Ottawa, Canada   (11.26.13)
19. Any attempt ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (11.26.13)
... to breach Israel's fully legal and internationally recognized blockade of Gaza should be met with deadly force. Or if it's a humanitarian gesture they're after, how about setting sail for the Philippines? Or even a little closer to home -- Syria. What a bunch of shameless publicity seekers. I echo the views of more than one poster -- these people just cannot stand to be out of the newspapers for so much as one day. People are getting wise to their silly antics, however, and no one is paying attention. Good! The best approach to a child having a temper tantrum is to ignore them. Looks like that's what is going to happen. Oh, dear! Whatever will they come up with next?
20. All the more reason to strengthen the blockade
Conroy ,   Toronto   (11.26.13)
If those floating morons move 1 inch into the restricted zone Israel should impose tighter restrictions in Gaza for 3 months. Do it again: 6 months, a third time: a year. That'll make those attention seeking troublemakers think twice about their provocations.
21. @ #17............It was 10% in 1922
Jacob E ,   Holon, Israel   (11.26.13)
Today it is appoximately 2% in the west bank and 1% in Gaza. Tell me again how good they have it. And I can ask any of them. It might be more outside of Gaza and the West Bank, because outside of those areas they are free to practice their religions without persecutions. But inside any Muslim controlled areas, their numbers have been dropping constantly due to violence and persecution. Which is why Angola has now banned Islam because they don't want people like that in their country.
22. These folks need to rethink their priorities
Bud ,   USA   (11.26.13)
Problems between Israel and Gaza pale compared to the human tragedy in syria and egypt ..solve those problems first ...Please
23. Gaza "reverse flotilla"
Gary K. ,   Chicago, USA   (11.26.13)
The Israeli navy should let them leave and then not let them return.
24. Israel's Failed Policies
Larinthian ,   Huntingdon Valley   (11.27.13)
I am a strong supporter of Israel. But, for a country that is blessed with so many bright minds, Israel continues to make some stupid decisions. I am not sure what it will take for the leadership in Israel to understand that appeasement simply does not work. Another example of this was Israel's decision to release Palestinian terrorists from prison. The results were nothing new, the Palestinians showed their appreciation with increased violence, murder, and mayhem against Israel. Not to mention, the complete disrespect shown to the families of the terrorists victims. In the past, Israel has repeatedly given up land, evacuated security checkpoints, and even torn down their own peoples homes, all in the name of "peace" with the Palestinians. Now we here of yet another hate, slanderous, and violent campaign know as the "flotilla." Do the actions of the Palestinians in any way show good will or that they to are willing to make concessions of their own? But, despite these ongoing weak, misguided policies, Israel continues to make the same mistake. This strategy not only fails to create peace, it actually encourages violence. There will never be peace until Israel and the international community stop coddling the Palestinians and start making them accountable for their actions. I would like to live to see the day when I hear Israel finally say, the gravy train just made its final stop. We have proven time and again that we want peace, now it's the Palestinians turn to do the same. Prime Minister Netanyahu has expended so much energy on warning the world about the perils of trusting the Iranians and rightfully so. But, he completely dismisses his responsibilities in regard to the Palestinian issue and this situation is just as dangerous. Why would anyone in their right mind appoint Peres and Livni to be Israel's chief negotiators in "peace talks." You couldn't get worse people for this job than them. These people perpetuate exactly the wrong strategy. They believe if you just give the Palestinians whatever they want, they will see the light, and agree to peace. How many more innocent Israelis have to die, how many innocent Israeli families have to have their hearts ripped out of their chest before Israel gets the message. I make these remarks as a lover of Israel. Nobody will stand up for Israel more than me and this will never change. But, I simply cannot endorse this foolish and weak minded policy. Israel is a remarkable country, they have accomplished more in just sixty five years than any country in the world that is much older. What are they so afraid of. STAND UP, BE PROUD OF WHO YOU ARE AND STOP COMMITTING POLITICAL SUICIDE.
