C   (06.26.15)
they will not achieve their goal. israeli navy will stop them by whatever means necessary. then they will cry and run to the icc claiming that they have a boo boo on their toes. nothing and no one will stop the israeli government from exercising its sovereignty of which in times of war putting a blockade on the enemy is perfectly legal.
3. it seems Israel will allow them...no problem

4. Board this Ship and -
Arn. ,   Sweden.   (06.26.15)
-Remove the Hypocrits and the Cargo from it, and sink the ship. This is Antijewish Swedish Leftists attempt, to undermine the Soverainity,Rule and Auhority of the Israeli State. Its is the first Mosquity sting, which will be followed by others if Israel gives in. Arn.Sweden
5. If this is a genuine HUMANITARIAN gesture
Tim ,   Brighton   (06.26.15)
Then they will go through the existing channels to ensure this aid is properly vetted and escorted into Gaza Lets be absolutely clear. Anything else or attempt to break the blockade while there a de facto State of War will simply show this was an intentional Hostile Act dressed up as an Aid Mission that will and must be stopped
6. In Syria, humanitarian aid
Moshino ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (06.26.15)
In Syria, humanitarian aid is greatly needed. I guess they don't target Islamic totalitarianism....True humanitarian aid is not on that agenda here... Oh wait - nothing to worry about. Israel is providing that much needed humanitarian aid to many hundreds of Syrian refugees who are currently being treated in Israeli hospitals!
7. flotilla
Mat ,   Ul   (06.26.15)
They are looking for Israel to make a so called mistake by provoking a fight. Israel should throw nets ropes under water to tangle prperlor pull the boat to a port on Israel no shots no boarding boat and if Israel can invite BBC CNN ALJAZEERA to film all live and make sure that the videos will not be changed Will they come if be invited
8. Sink theFlotilla

10. Cretins?
Mark ,   New York, NY   (06.26.15)
11. easy solution - both win
dan ,   kfar sava   (06.26.15)
Israel should load the boats onto trucks at Ashdod, inspect the cargo and transport the boats via land to Gaza. Do not permit the people on the boats debark, and do not let them back via Israel. The boats reach Gaza.
12. Do not let MK Basel Ghattas back in Israel...
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.26.15)
Remove his citizenship and send him to Gaza,by feat... This traitor does not deserve to live in Israel,send him to his Islamic friends , where he belong, Gaza-
13. There is no way this ill-meant ship
Reality check   (06.26.15)
should be allowed to Gaza. Garza is an enemy entity bent on Israel's destruction. Therefore, we should spare no effort in fighting Gaza and their "well-meant" friends. Even if this means capturing this ship, unloading it at Ashdod and every other legal means according to Iraeli democratic law. And BTW, Kris X Doyle, you must be really sick in your sparrow-sized brain spewing such dribble.
14. Flotilla
Edouard ,   Montreal canada   (06.26.15)
This is just a provocation you don't want to bring medical material into Gaza they can simply do it from land this flotilla s this is just a provocation you don't want to bring medical material into Gaza they can simply do it from land this for Tina should be stop
15. Godspeed
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (06.26.15)
To the flotilla and those participating in it: Godspeed and blessings to you in the ongoing battle against Zionist sovereignty and aggression. One day, perhaps in the next few years, the flotilla will sail triumphantly into Liberated Palestine and into former Tel Aviv and Haifa whose names will be appropriately changed.
16. ISIL Attempted The Sabatoge
emanon ,   USA   (06.26.15)
They are an anrchistic terrorist group had have the most to gain by pitting opposing political factions against each other.
17. Flotilla full of propaganda
Mina ,   Finland   (06.26.15)
Why those anti-Israel activists do not care at all about Syrian war victims and suffering civilians there? Though because those activists are professionals in propaganda - they could also help ISIS? Hamas and ISIS are also both radicals, so they might like them more? But anyway, send that floatilla to Syria!
18. Their deepest desire
Mina ,   Finland   (06.26.15)
Sell that flotilla and those activist to ISIS - so they really can be slaves for radical islam.
19. Dog & Pony Show
Benji ,   US   (06.26.15)
Palestinians can purchase medical supplies from Israel. Between Hamas and the PA they have plenty of money for this purpose. They could also have state of art medical facilities and not depend on Israeli hospitals for care but they invest in weapons and terror by choice. Charge the "activists" an IDF inspection fee to off load the ship, inspect the contents, passengers and crew and arrest the Israeli Arab. Arrange for pro-Israeli activists to greet the ship and wave goodbye to yet another floptilla. Will make for a good photo shoot.
20. look around
willy   (06.27.15)
People running around condemning Israel really ought to take a look around and see what's going on. Or, perhaps, they would rather wait until Daesh is in their backyard.
21. Sailing for Hypocrisy
UR   (06.26.15)
Someone inspired by the thinking for this Tunisian ex-president just killed 37 people in Sousse. And the flotilla made a stop in the very jurisdiction which is the primary site of Europe's migrant tragedy (Sicily). And most of this tragedy starts out about 150km away from where the terrorist gunned down the holiday makers in Sousse (it's just down coast from Sfax from where most of the people drowning off Lampedusa, Sicily initially set sail). {Meanwhile, all day, CNN thought it appropriate to have someone in Kenya comment on developments in Tunisia. That is more than 8,000 km away. Same continent. Big tourism industry. Job done) The whole world's problems bundled into a tiny strip of land and only this land ever gets the world attention, while elsewhere people are gunned down on holiday and infants and babies are drowning and people care, at best, for about 24 hours. But if when the babies and infants are Palestinians, you can expect endless enquiries and commissions by so-called Human Rights institutions, flotillas floating every summer, marches & demonstrations. Bunch of hypocrites. I wish I could say that no one buys the Palestinian decoy anymore but it seems to have continuous appeal, just as antisemitism.
22. a s hip to be sank "screw world opinion
PARTNER PC ,   BROWARD COUNTY FL   (06.27.15)

23. One old boat with propellers breaking is called Flotilla?
