Freedom flotilla ready to break through blockade

Yesterday the Freedom Flotilla was waiting for the last group of campaigners to get onboard. A group of European parliamentarians was to set out from Cyprus to join the fleet, but Cyprus authorities would not let them.
This freedom flotilla is only to provoce Israel instead of helping the Arabs in Gaza. Gaza has border checkpoints to Egypt and Israel. What they need in Gaza is a democratic and capabile leadership, they already have enough foof and medicine. They voted for Hamas and it´s what they´ve got!
Monica Levinsky: "They voted for Hamas and it´s what they´ve got!" The Israelis are too arrogant to realize that Israel is committing suicide. Israel makes one mistake and they are doomed. I fear attacking this humanitarian convoy will be such a mistake.
If the US had elected Ron Paul president would this deserve a response from the international community to isolate the US? Stop punishing Gaza for electing Hamas.
The whole World is watching Israel at this crucial momnet for them which will determine Israeli destiny for years to come. This is the moment make or break, will israel join the rest of the nations on the planet in peace and tranquility or it will remain in the gridlock of the past revisiting Nazi terrors which sadly Jews know what its like more than anybody else.
Look back the History and see what they had done...then talk...eliminate exist : England;U.S.A ; Israel..(I mean their government only ,not its peoples).the world will much better
From those of us who concur with the writings of Les Visible our wishes for the rogue, nuclear armed state of Israel are ... "May all their plots turn against them." "May they be driven from the occupied lands." "May they be exposed to all the people of the world." "May judgment come to murderer and thief." Good luck and safe passage to the freedom flotilla and may Gaza finally be granted relief!
To Robert Greco -The problem is that one can hope to eliminate the present governments of England and USA., but not the peoples; on the contrary, the enemies of Israel want to eliminate also the people; they declared it. Palestinians have received a lot of money as help from Europe; I can not understand how they did use it.
People act out of humanitarian motive not go to ship with firearms, clubs, and knives! "Peace activists" were attacked with clubs, knives, and firearms Israeli soldiers! This is not peace This is violence! "Peace activists" were stab Israeli soldiers until the soldiers were forced to defend themselves! What country would allow such attackers to infiltrate her country? Ships were active terrorists from Hezbollah.
The humanitarians aboard the freedom flotilla were attacked by a heavily armed Israeli commando group in the middle of the night while sailing in international waters. They were NOT armed and used only what was on hand to defend themselves (fists, sticks and knives and perhaps some firearms wrenched from the hands of a couple of the members of the Israeli assault team). These brave peace activists were totally justified in doing this. Israel has thus committed yet another criminal act of war, this time again on the open seas (remember the USS Liberty in 1967). The seizure of the flotilla was also an unabashed act of piracy by Israel. Now the precious cargo (10,000 tons of relief supplies) which could have helped the besieged people of Gaza is in Israeli hands and will likely never reach its intended destination. Israel should be condemned by all the nations of the world for what they have done. The ONLY state on this planet which deserves to be blockaded is Israel. Neither one more dollar of aid nor one more weapon should ever be given to this rogue, cruel, psychopathic state. BTW, Lisa, Monica, Silvia, etc. are just Zionist shills who have either fallen for the lies of Israel or are paid operatives trolling the internet.
Israel did not hesitate to attack the US spy ship the "Liberty" during the 1967 war killing and wounding scores of Americans. Nor, will she hesitate to sink these ships and kill defenseless human being who are only trying bring humanitarian aid to the blockaded Palestinians. Israel will reveal her true face to the world and the world will not like what it will see.
