From the article;

"We are not experienced sailors."

Then it would behoove you to not go down to the sea in ships.

“they tried to sail through Israel’s blockade of Gaza,”

If this blockade was any but a hand full of countries in the world, like Israel or the U.S., these whining fools would be feeding the fishes. Don’t these sniveling idiots ever listen to themselves in the context of reality?

The mission was not sabotaged, it was stopped cold. It was not covert, it was overt.

Israel says will allow boat activists to enter Gaza

GAZA CITY (AFP) — Israel said on Saturday it would allow two boatloads of pro-Palestinian activists protesting against its embargo on the Gaza Strip to enter the Hamas-ruled enclave.

"They wanted provocation at sea but they won't get it. We know who the passengers are and what they are bringing with them and so we have no problem letting them through," Foreign Ministry spokesman Aviv Shiron told AFP.

"There will be no contact between the navy and the boats," Shiron said.

By all means, tell them that the mission was sabotaged by one of their own boat crew members, an undercover Mossad operative. Let them turn on each other.

They think Israel jammed their communications?
The laughable sailors are fortunate Israel didn’t turn a microwave signal on them and cook them all from within.

Yes, make them think they have a mole in the operation and watch the scumbags tear each other apart.

"We are not experienced sailors. As a results, there is concern about the health and safety of the people on board," the statement said.

The Cap'n says that there is a lesson to be learned here, love...

Worth repeating:

“Then it would behoove you to not go down to the sea in ships. “
