1. Flotilla
zznhl ,   Israel   (06.29.15)
Its very safe for the activists to go on this kind of hip jaunt to Israel, thay can go home and say that after beeing fed and housed for a couple of days, that they were expelled from Israel through Ben Gurion international airport, paid for by the Israeli government. I wonder how they would be treated had arrived at the port in Latakia, Syria to protest the deaths of over 300,000 Syrian civilians caused by their own government.
2. KINDLY DELIVER YOUR SOLIDARITY TO
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (06.29.15)
Egypt or Jordan and they will give it to their own people. They are the ones that created this mess called "BALESTINE". Israel had nothing to do with it. They abandoned their own people in numerous wars.
3. strip ship of all valuable scrap. sink for fish habitat

4. Here we go again
Haider ,   Gothenburg, Sweden   (06.29.15)
Shame on you Israel.
5. yaalon calmly ordered the flotilla taken
mark   (06.29.15)
see-yaalon ordered the idf to take the flotilla with no bloody messup that ehud barak managed the last time. If herzog and livni were in power, they would have sought permission from obama who oren has clearly exposed as a palstinian moslem to the bone. Herzog would have hemmed and hawed and flitted about with livni yelling to the UN. This is not the way to do things in the middle east.Herzog is nothing but a wimp and most israelis know it.Reuven adler tried to change his image but it won't wash. Even bibi yaps too much. Forget about the united states. They did next to zilch for most of the 6 million. Now in order for jews to survive, they have to be smart, have tremendous armed forces, and each israel must be like a small batttleship, not like the pacifists of haaretz who abhor any israeli show of strength- you knwo the cast-olmert, livni, peretz, peres, herzog,gal on who is pathetic, even ehud barak with his monotonous concessions, ramon, even bibi with his tilt towards concessions. Israel should not get involved in adventures like the christian falangists in lebanon but they could help the kurds who deserve a country of kurdistan. And to hell with turkey so long as erdogan is there.The man belongs in jail And this is who obama bows down to. And herzog and livni and their dumbbell colleague yair lapid who knows nothing about security just like father, another fool who gave sharon the idea to withdraw from gaza in return for nothing-you israelis wanted to vote for these flunkees. This is the kind of thinking that got many jews unable to fight in the past. Rivlin was correct in asking a bereaved family did the father not carry a gun. You think the family is protected by prayer alone? What are you-stupid. Arm yourselves and if you are threatened, use your guns. Of course ynet and haaretz and their pathetic journalists say no weapons, no fighting back, lets all sing songs around the campfire.
6. #4 - Haider
Devorah   (06.29.15)
No, shame on you, Haider. What the hell do you know about anything? The fact is, you don't know jack, especially about Israel.
7. Look at those idiots
Devorah   (06.29.15)
Why isn't #4, Mr. Know-It-All, on that boat? No, he sits in his mom's basement and posts garbage against Israel because he has no knowledge, he has no life, and he has no future.
8. Sweden and flotilla
Zvi ,   Toronto   (06.29.15)
The Swedes hate the Jews for theologocal reasons brain washed by the Church They mascarading they hatred as Humanist Hypocrites
9. #4
Maurice ,   Canada   (06.29.15)
Shame on you Haider for supporting Hamas a terrorist islamist organisation!
10. Make sure
USA   (06.29.15)
Bibi said it best albeit sarcastically — these morons should be helping the Syrians, over 200,000 killed in their civil war and the carnage is ongoing. Israel should find these people, then make them pay for their own flights back to their homeland. Don't forget to seize the boat and auction it on the open maket. Send the proceeds to an IDF fund.
11. # 8 So, they end up supporting ISIS and the pals
BUILD BABY BUILD!!!!   (06.29.15)
typical from one low to another extreme low as in hell.
12. Correct Actions All Around
emanon ,   USA   (06.29.15)
The people on board the boat did not offer resistance, The Israeli's did not harm anyone and the cargo was brought to a recognized port to pass customs. Without recognized borders, without any government the Gazans agree on and witout being a country, how can the Gazans accept any cargo? Once the cargo has been inspected, Israel will pass it through proper crossings, just as it has with tonnes of other legitimate cargo.
13. Israeli Navy takes over pleasure boat
CJK   (06.29.15)
the jew haters must realise once and for all that the jews today have a powerful army to defend themselves.
14. flotilla
hedwig littlehand ,   uk   (06.29.15)
There is still time to reroute the activist via the northern border to Syria with the much needed supplies by the Syrian people, I am sure they will still get some publiciy
15. "DROR" and "YOEL" ?????
ASTRONAUT ,   USA   (06.29.15)
Two yiddishe bokers? And "Dror" an alte kacker left over from the 60's. Hey, Dror, didn't we meet at Woodstock?
16. Israeli Government Is BDS Movement's Best Ally
World Citzen ,   the world   (06.29.15)
Every time you think that the leaders of Israel can't get any dumber they do something even more idiotic. Keep up the "good" work Bibi.
17. Flotilla seizure
graczek ,   Maryland, USA   (06.29.15)
Another war and economic crime for which the Zionists and their sympathizers will pay dearly in the near future. I would like to see Zionist military "courage" when the next flotilla approaches Gaza with Iranian Navy escort. The flotilla will reach Gaza and the Zionists will flee with their collective tails between their legs!
18. good job IDF, Israel Navy. Wish this had happened in 2010..
Rafi ,   US   (06.29.15)
... with the Mavi Marmara
19. To Graczek #17
Steven ,   Rockville MD USa   (06.29.15)
The Iranians could have "protected" this flotilla. What do you think they did not do it? They know well, the risk involved, and they are poor swimmers. But what about you Graczek, should not you be on the flotilla, or it is safer to run your mouth and dream?
20. Send the whole bunch from that vessel..
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.29.15)
.. into the area of ISIS. We know ISIS will either love them or hate them. :-) :-) :-) Might be they will make benefit on the slavery marked, and possible end up as delivering service to some terrorists....we do not care...
21. So afraid of peace Israel ,shame on you...
Oliver ,   Eilat   (06.29.15)
22. IDF seizure of Swedish peace boat
TKirac ,   Bodrum-Turkey   (06.29.15)
Israel has done it again; illegally boarding an unarmed boat in international waters, destined to challenge Israel's illegal and unethical occupation. Fortunately, this time the IDF did not murder unarmed civilians as they did 4 years ago on the Turkish Mavi Marmara.
23. Israel shoots itself in the foot - yet again!
Ben Alofs ,   Bangor, UK   (06.29.15)
With this act of piracy and the cruel denial of humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza Israel just knocked another nail in the coffin of its own delegitimization.
24. is there anyway to drop them off in syrian territory?
ralph   (06.30.15)
25. This is Old NEWS A NON ISSUE
Marco ,   The Hague Holland   (06.29.15)
Please what a waste of time. Time is coming Soon That Europe Will stop funding Arab families From Jordan Egypt AND Jemen who came to The Holy Land to work to escape their missory in their homelands. The rethoric is becoming bored. No European media is paying attention. Fact!!
26. Heheh ,...
split   (06.30.15)
The civilized world was reminded that Gaza siege continues, mission accomplished ,... Now google 'flotilla' click on 'news' and check what I'm talking about ,... Who said that Israelis are smart?,...
27. re 23
nigel ,   London   (06.30.15)
Israel shoots itself in the foot , denying aid - tonnes of aid a day from Israel. Life expectancy higher in Gaza than any surrounding country. Birth rate higher, population increasing. Can't say that of many countries in the ME, Wonder how much humanitarian aid was on that boat ? enough for 2 people for 2 daysl Israel hater , you have no concept of what is going on in the ME. Start crying for people in Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya. No human rights there, just human wrongs. No flotillas to help them
28. re 22
nigel ,   London   (06.30.15)
But they were armed 4 years back, as video evidence showed, Also, did not carry any aid Send the flotilla to Syria where aid is needed. Send to the Kurds fighting on your border ( and apparently without any help from the Turks) You have blood on your hands today let alone 4 years ago.
29. GOOD JOB! NO VIOLENCE THIS TIME
IRANIAN JEW ,   LA USA   (06.30.15)
FINALLY the old generals of IDF came to their senses and use some new tactics for this one. THE PALIS MUST MAKE PEACE FIRST IF THEY WANT HELP. Maybe now, the critics of Israel will understand this.
30. #22
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.30.15)
You have to go back and read the outcome of the Marmara. Israel got full legal backing. Also, silently, the world accepted the neutralization of 11 IHH terrorist-members, the friends of pee pee erdogan. IHH is rated by Germany as a terror-network. The blocade of the hostile strip was also verified as legal.
