1. Lost In Translation?

'Eyh 'omrim be'ivrit Ball Bearing's Used For shrapnel for IED's????? This Illegal isnt it???
2. This time, torpedo the IHH terrorist ship...
Truth Hertz ,   UK   (07.31.14)
The 'blockade' is there to stop Hamas getting supplies of arms with which to deliberately kill Israeli civilians and any attempt to break the 'blockade' is an act of war.
3. Better safe than sorry with Jihadis
no benefit of doubt ,   Eurabia   (07.31.14)
4. Chocolate-marbles
Ezra ,   Florida   (07.31.14)
it reminded me of the old Israeli joke about someone who returned from abroad and declared to the customs officer that the big bundle of coffee beans he brought with him as bird seeds. When the officer pointed that out to him , his answer was: That is what I brought them, if they want to eat it, okay. If they don't, tough luck.
5. Uh, in the middle of war they're making chocolate?
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, USA   (07.31.14)
Perhaps things aren't that bad - at least for the well-to-do Hamas leadership in their underground bunkers. Gotta' satisfy that sweet tooth. PS - This morning NPR, always ready to report on "poor suffering Palestinians" talked of bread shortages in Gaza. Why isn't Turkey sending bread-making machines?
6. Turkey, Erdogan, Mulimbrothership
Toledano Jean-Pierre ,   Israel   (07.31.14)
and saying, saying,... Erdogan is a moderate man, no Muslim Brother no ex-Grey Wolf,... The USA and Europa like to work with him... what a jerks.... Israel must continue their way to survive, amen!
7. For Jihadis, This Is "Humanitarian Aid"
Yishai Kohen ,   YeShA, Israel   (07.31.14)
We should pass it on to them- just as they planned to pass it on to us.
8. "Chocolates" are these deadly rockets fired at Israel.
Chaim ,   Israel   (07.31.14)
"Chocolate making machines" is not so urgent that it has to be sent now with the "humanitarian aid" shipment, unless these "chocolates" are meant to be fired at innocent Israeli children and families. Israel should blow up all ships coming from Turkey.
9. IHH - Ship
Spartacus ,   Athens, Greece   (07.31.14)
About the next ship from Turkey trying to break the blockade.. one shell below the water line does it all.. The target on the ship should be marked before it leave port so that there is no misunderstanding where the shell will land.. if the ship intends to initiate an act of war
10. Turkish Soldiers on the next flotilla?
Askeladden ,   Flåklypa, Norway   (07.31.14)
According to some pro-arab (palestinian) website, IHH had made a deal that Turkish soldiers would escort them on the next "flotilla".
11. from cement to tunnels, marbles to bombs
Larry ,   LA (formerly)   (07.31.14)
Come on, we can only accept that the Arabs lie about everything. If they took Israeli cement and instead of using it for civilian use, they used it to build tunnels, we can expect that they will take the marbles and use it to make bombs more deadly.
12. Turkey has become an Islamist state
CJK   (07.31.14)
erdogan is a member of the muslim brotherhood. he actively supports the hamas jihadists. it is therefore not surprising that erdogan would send steel balls to hamas that can be used in bombs and ied's.
13. Turkey is going downhill
Benji ,   US   (08.01.14)
Erdogan has thrown Turkey under the bus to pursue his Islamic state fantasy as the emperor of the Turkish Empire. He will fund and shelter any Islamic terrorist in exchange for their loyalty. Friends recently returned from Turkey. They couldn't believe how primitive the county has become and have no plans to ever return.
14. wartime
portia ,   israel   (08.01.14)
If ANY country sends a vessle to try to break the blockade, it may be considered an act of war: we are a sovereign Nation AT WAR..
15. #10 Turkish soldiers can be drowned just like
A ,   Belgium   (08.01.14)
any other islamics.
