Irish ship damaged by Israeli intelligence claim protesters

What you saw colkelly was an israeli public relations exercise in full swing. The ONLY video that was available was the video stolen from the passengers and edited to suit the purposes that it clearly did with naive individuals like yourself. All audio, video, cell phones, camera's and all footage from the vessels themselves were stolen, if you have nothing to hide why steal that footage and only what what suits YOU ? The aid on those vessels did not include any weapons as you infer. And clearly the fact that jews offered to work with the Nazis to defeat their common enemy was not known to you but facts can be SO inconvenient....

Gosh Tom Swinford you truly are sadly misinformed. First off Ruth Edwards is a pro-unionist, so while she is entitled to her opinion, it's one many do not share. Pro-Unionist are historically pro-israeli. The blockade of Gaza is ILLEGAL as per the UN, EU, Amnesty International, and Red Cross, all indisputable facts. The Aid that IS permitted into Gaza is ONLY allowed through israel and NOT rafah crossing and is down 75% from pre-illegal blockade levels of aid. Gisha had to take israel to court to even have a list printed up for them to verify what was actually banned or not, so there are products that are banned. And the old overused TINY NATION excuse again? A bit overdone really, and since it has yet to declare its border ( most likely to include the WB that they currently continue to belligerently occupy at the present time and the illegally annexed e.jerusalem) we have yet to see how big or small israel actually is....Obviously there are many arab/muslim countries that have a very far way to go in the arena of women's rights. Are the Western Values you espouse in line with jew only roads in the WB? A racist russian born foreign minister who has verbally stated that he wants ALL arab/palestinians OUT of israel? israel was founded by jew terrorists, David Ben Gurion whose hero was Michael Collins, member of the Palmach, Menachem begin, commander of the irgun who blew up the king david hotel and then went on to be voted in as high as prime minister and started the likud party.... so if you want to talk terrorists take a look at the jew terrorists while you are it rather than just pointing out the palestinian ones, otherwse you are just being hypocritical....

I pity anyone who has to live next door to Israel. It's a country of psychotics.

On the one hand: 1. These activists should not be let out after dark. They are eejits pure and simple, useful idiots for nasty people. And they're getting themselves into dangerous waters, literally. Poor old Eamon Gilmore has enough on his plate keeping LE Hibernia afloat without having to declare war on Israel. 2. Hamas is running Gaza. Who would want them next door? Nobody, right? So why should we support them over there? 3. Mossad fights for Israel. That's what it's supposed to do. I hope we would do the same in similar circumstances. On the other: 1. Colkelly, only the Turks, including one man born in America, resisted violently last time. 2. Autoeuropean, 'to be sure' and similar taunts don't do the Israeli cause any good. They make you look bigoted. When on Irish Central, take the high ground.

To be sure, to be sure.....the Irish economy is imploding and now they exporting their finest. That's all the ME needs right now more useless clowns

Well said, GeorgeDillion. The Rachael Corrie is a wonderful name to give an aid ship. Her death will not have been in vain, and her legacy of humanitarianism will live on. Contrarily, those that live by the sword, will soon die by the sword. The world is watching, and it is not impressed!

fearing - uncle sammy protects friend without whom - they would be unable to function. look at the prez surround sounder mavens and it may dawn on youse.

One last time... What a pack of Asses... Stay on your little Island. And leave the Middle East alone... YOU CAN AND WILL GET HURT...Remember the USS LIBERTY Thay dont play games.

Reading the comments where the likes of Tom Swinford claim the Palestinians have adequate food,water medicine..you would think they were refering to the inmates of a prison.

NYCsheridan, you really ought to be more thoughtful before throwing out careless accusations. Calling one a liar is a serious matter. If you disagreed with me, a more considerate response would be that you believed I was misinformed. Do you get it, lad? With regard to Gazans having access to Egypt, this is a true statement. Following Mubarak's overthrow, Egypt opened the Rafah Gate, allowing Gazans free access to Egypt. Hamas stated that in the first few days up to 500 Gazans made the crossing and that this figure was soon expected to triple. As for my statement that there is no shortage of food and medicine in Gaza I was relying on eye-witness statements of recent travelers who have reported that supermarkets are well stocked and shopping malls are doing a brisk business. There are also daily convoys of trucks bearing all manner of goods provided by various organizations. Further, Israel does not restrict this movement of goods but, reasonably, does inspect these convoys. It is true that there have been shortages in the past but that does not appear to be the case now. I stand by my comments.

Cry me a River....Thay bent your prop OUCH Remember what thay did to the USS Liberty

Latest: Greek inspectors claim flotilla ship Audacity of Hope "un-seawoorthy" and refuse to allow it to leave ... obviously yet another Mossad plot.

The Shinners Circus has folded.Time for that nonsense act for the cameras to return home and deal with the very bad problems here in dublin.

BishopSean (what church are you a bishop in, the Church of Racist Zion?) instead of spouting garbage about unintended consequences, how come you don't address the ones who do the killing, and intend to do so, namely the Zionists? These are the rules of the game the Zionists like to play: The Israelis do the killing, and the Palestinians (and others) do the dying. Doesn't seem like a very fair game to me.

Those who wish to participate in or support this "freedom flotilla" (which may result in loss of many lives, knowing the law of unintended consequences in the Middle East) have the obligation to be very well informed of the real historical facts--and see reality, please!
