I’m sure this will be reprinted on the front page of tomorrow’s New York Times.

Israel should not give them the ships back. All of those prisoners should have to stand trial. That should take a while.

The next ship is apparently on its way, funny its called the MV Rachel Corrie... I hope Operation Caterpillar is what they call its seizure.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

If there is another ship, it will eventually be called the MV Rachel Corrie Pancake.

[GeronL]

Or just MV Tread Marks

Gaza Flotilla ... Wanted Massacre For PR

And Israel unfortunately gave them exactly what thay wanted.

[Eyes Unclouded]

IDF was dumb enough to give them one. Should have just towed the boat away after killing its engines. Hamas and company are gonna wage a PR offensive and could quite possibly gain some victory out of this.

Israeli soldiers attacked by mob aboard 'peaceful' ship

[Tzimisce]

Our media is far too open minded, excepting and tolerant to give this any serious consideration....

[Carley]

My deepest regret that all the activists didn’t get their 72 virgins.

[Carley]

Unfortunately?

Yes, unfortunately. The raid didn't go as Israel planned, and the activists got the international incident that they were hoping for.

A tits-up all around for Israel.

[Carley]

A raid goes well when the enemies are dead and the Israeli’s survived.

I suspect that Bibi isn’t as sanguine as you regarding the blowback that Israel will experience. Entebbe this was not.

[hennie pennie]

The videos are on the Internet; most people will learn the truth about the Turkish Islamists and their terror flotilla; state sponsored terrorism, particularly of the blatant type Turkey is currently engaging in will not be tolerated by the world community.

I don't think there will be much blowback. SURE, all the "regular suspects" will jump up & down and yip & howl, but they'd do that, WITHOUT the ambush of the IDF soldiers by the TURKIST ISLAMIST TERRORISTS. That's NOT blowback, that's the norm for those fools.

[hennie pennie]

Is Rahm Emanuel close buddies with Bill Ayers or with Code Pink???

Since both of them are closely associated with the Terror Flotilla and with the BHO Administration -- is it possible that RE was warned of what was going to happen???????

[NavyCanDo]

What you won’t here in the media.....

I just learned from the Beck show that 5 other ships were boarded successfully and without violence in this flotilla. This ship was the last one to be boarded. That and the video is the damming evidence that this was a unprovoked attack on soldiers who had peaceful intentions.

[NavyCanDo]

Exibit a.

There is a video Beck was talking about of one of the ships passengers saying they would either break the blockade or become martyrs. But don't expect the mainstream media to show it. Instead they will be treated like a Nobel Peace Prize Cruise on the Love Boat

[Carley]

Another ship is on the way. Israel has said it will be met with more force.

It’s clear that the Turks are being provocative.
