1. Swedish troublemakers on the way
Martin Ludwig ,   Belgium   (06.27.14)
In shadow of thousands of deaths in Syria and iraq are Swedish (Arab and pro-Arab circles) concerned by the sillent around the "provocation" flotilla and now desparetly looking for publicity.
2. Scared and showing it
Etienne Prinsloo ,   British Columbia Ca   (06.26.14)
The Swedes are so utterly terrified of their Muslim population that they jump to appease them at thedrop of a hat. Sweden might as well capitulate now and save themselves a long drawn out Islamic takeover.
3. file a claim against sweden
dante   (06.26.14)
is this an impartial inquiry dedicated to the discovery of the truth? or, more likely (given that one is talking about sweden), another kangaroo court the purpose of which is solely to vilify Israel? remember this is sweden, de facto ally of the germans...and, now, 70 years later, comfortable home to proud, gleeful, thugish anti-Semitism.
4. Israel shold have sank the ships
k ,   US   (06.26.14)
Especially since their were Swedes on board, nothing better then getting rid of some Europeans who are participants in the destruction of the Israelis
5. I guess the Swedes ....
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.27.14)
... have nothing better to do. The Palmer Report, commissioned by the United Nations at the demand of Turkey, asserted that Israel's blockade of Gaza is fully legal and internationally recognized. The Swedes should stick to pornography and Aquavit. International law is beyond their ability to grasp. Perhaps they can build some warships. Just like the WASA. Oops, that's one other thing at which the Swedes decidedly do not excel.
6. Henning Mankell, the talentless degenerate pervert writer,
Andre ,   Clichy, France   (06.27.14)
Henning Mankell, the degenerate pervert talentless writer, author of voyeuristic, sinister,lousy literature living in Angola was on board. How fitting.Thank God the Jews have such degen enemies !
7. These 22 swedes must be tried for helping terrorists in war
(06.27.14)
These 22 swedes must be tried for helping Islamist terrorists during the time of war. If Palestinians from Gaza were and are throwing rockets at Israel, it means there is a war between Israel and Gaza and Israel has the right to stop foreign Islamist terrorists who come from other countries to join this war and help Palestinian Islamists to kill Israeli people. There are many Europeans (mainly molsems) who are joining the war and Jihad in Syria. They must not be allowed to come into Israel or aide Palestinians in killing Israeli people.
8. and if thgey were they broke the law. if sweden does not dea
ralph   (06.27.14)
deal with them swiftly we must let her know we are not amused and respond. enough is enough. the eu and these countries are our enemies. lets deal with them with a strong arm. we have the energy and future they are dead men walking.
9. How about "probing" why 28 girls have been circumcised in
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.27.14)
one class, in Goteborg, in AD 2014?! Just watch a National Suicide as it happens, WOW!
10. #3
Harold ,   USA   (06.27.14)
What makes you sure you can do what ever you like. We are having tons of problems from people like you who ignores and disrespects International Laws.
11. Why Swedes don't send flotilla to Syrians who really need it
(06.27.14)
Swedes don't send flotilla to Syrians because they are not interested in helping really starving people in Syria with food. They had guns in the ship and they only wanted to provoke and help Islamist terrorists to attack Israel. There are many hungry people who are in real danger everyday in Syria and Iraq.
12. Prosecute awful hypocritical self righteous Sweden.
Chaim ,   Israel   (06.27.14)
It takes the special hypocrisy of Sweden to refuse to prosecute Nazis, while demonizing Jews who fight for their lives against terror. Israel should prosecute awful hypocritical self righteous Sweden.
13. So what, only because the Swedes are a bit "slow", you want
tom ,   tel aviv   (06.27.14)
to deprive them of their 15 minutes of fame in the anti semitic spotlight?! Shame on you (us). Is it not enough that we've caused the Germans their darkest hour, by forcing them to commit Holocaust, that clearly was deeply against their national psyche?! So Jewy of us, indeed.
14. #4, amen to that
Danny   (06.27.14)
15. Sweden
Ralph ,   Rishon   (06.27.14)
Perhaps someone should remind our Swedish friends how many of their compatriots were executed on 9/11
16. Swedes need another lesson
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (06.27.14)
of how to lose graciously. They knew they were breaking the law and can't ( like their Muslim allies ) admit their gross error. What idiots! KEEP BUILDING AND BLOCKADING !!!
17. OK so lets look at the facts...
Tim ,   Brighton   (06.27.14)
'Swedish legal authorities said the investigation will examine several reported cases of aggravated assault, aggravated theft and violation of international law, with regard to the Geneva Conventions, according to which civilians must be protected during armed conflicts' The Statement makes clear that Hamas were in a State of War with Israel and that the Ships were knowingly attempting to break a LEGITIMATE blockade to limit Rocket and Arms shipments to Gaza DESPITE REPEATED WARNINGS As for the ridiculous claim of aggravated assault..having boarded the ships whose CLEAR INTENTION was to break the blockade, the IDF not knowing wether the activists fired with venom and hatred were armed did as ANY POLICE FORCE IN THE WORLD WOULD DO...react with FIRM and DECISIVE and FAST action to take control of the vessel and ensure their and the activists safety,,rather than as this Swedish Comedy Script suggests the Israeli Soldiers should have said..'Ahem Ahem guys,,would you please be so kind as to stop the ship approaching the blockade..and we can then have a nice cup of tea' But the shocking nub of all this is what the Swedish Statement DELIBERATELY DOES NOT SAY that puts the episode into context NOTHING about Hamas avowed aim to destroy Israel as written into their Charter, nothing about the THOUSANDS of Rockets that Hamas had fired INDISCRIMINATELY into Israel, nothing about Hamas Corruption, nothing about Hamas Racial Incitement on a truly breathtaking scale of their Schoolchildren whose education is funded by UNWRA
18. sure we will swedeish funding for hamas
daniel ,   TA - IL   (06.27.14)
we already know that they aided nazis wherever they could. so lets sue the nazi bastards and kick them and all eu-shits out
19. No 5 Sarah ...
Mike ,   NZ   (06.27.14)
I can count on you Sarah to make my day. No more Volvo's for me ! The Swedes on board that boat knew exactly what they were getting themselves into. If you poke a stick at a sleeping lion then expect a sharpened claw embedded in your rear end.
20. enough we must get after them enough these leftist idiots
ralph   (06.27.14)
21. Dror Feiler is not longer a Jew...
Jerry ,   Sweden   (06.27.14)
Henning Mankell, fitting his Jewish "brother" Dror Feiler. Feiler was born in Tel Aviv in 1951, and moved with his family to kibbutz Yad Hana in 1967. His father, Eliezer Feiler, was a leftist activist. Dror is a leftist activist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dror_Feiler
22. Do civilians ever lose their rights?
Itiel ,   Israel   (06.27.14)
Civilians do not have any right to be protected during armed conflicts – rather they should be attacked – when these so-called “civilians” side ACTIVELY with one side in the warring area, or near the area of the armed conflict. By doing that they voluntarily blurred their status and protection as “civilians”. Let us remember that ultimately ALL terrorists ARE “civilians” since they do not follow the morals and practices of regular armies – AND their COLLABORATORS are as involved as they are in the ultimate goal of any active terrorists, which is to force into submission a certain population through the use of terror. Siding with terrorists makes that “civilian” a de-facto TERRORIST (as was this case). Yes, these ruffian Swedish Jew-haters ARE terrorists indeed. Therefore, they should have been allowed to enter into the territorial waters of Israel with their provocative ships, and then they should have been sunk deep into the ocean. After all, every Goy is going to say the same Anti-Semitic cr*p.
23. Sweden is morally very corrupted nation!
jouko ,   Finland   (06.27.14)
24. Swedish Priorities
Jez ,   Netanya   (06.27.14)
1) To hound Jews 2) To turn a blind eye to things which are really of consequence to humanity 3) To ignore real war crimes Top people these racist Swedes
25. please post answer to this question
dan ,   k"s   (06.27.14)
between 1920 and 1966, how many tons of goods were shipped YEARLY via Gaza Port or any other port in what is now the Gaza Strip?
26. The Swedes
Bobby ,   Virginia, US of A   (06.27.14)
The Swedes should stick to what they do best: making meatballs and turning out movies that make you want to jump off a ledge.
27. Sweden
Naftali   (06.27.14)
I will save them the time and money. israel did not shoot enough of those terrorists and their supporters
28. #1
Harold ,   USA   (06.27.14)
If the ships were attacked by IDF in International Waters, investigations must take place. NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
29. #2
Harold ,   USA   (06.27.14)
Don't change the subject. Write about the two ships attacked by the IDF in International Waters NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW.
30. #5
Harold ,   USA   (06.27.14)
Try to mention the name of one country agrees that blockading Gaza is fully legal and internationally recognized. Probably you are talking about people on Mars and Israel only including yourself. Ha Ha Ha
