[ch.man]

Israeli security forces have found weapons, including Molotov cocktails and detonators, aboard the Turkish-flagged merchant vessel Mavi Marmara, which was part of a convoy that attempted to break the Israeli blockade of Gaza.

They’ll be accused of manufacturing the evidence.

[tatsinfla]

no way!!!! so hard to believe from these peace loving people.... /sarc

[muddler]

When they said it was “aid” they meant it.

[Ingtar]

Of course, the media will present this as manufactured evidence.

[icwhatudo]

Ouch-Thats gonna hurt

[jessduntno]

Just like the bombed out “wedding parties” in Iraq...

[NotSoModerate]

Exactly.

[VOR78]

I don’t doubt it a bit, but it doesn’t matter. Anything they say will be disregarded at best, and at worst, they’ll be accused of planting those weapons themselves.

[Berlin_Freeper]

They should tow the boats to the Gaza port and sink them.

[Army Air Corps]

Weapons headed for Gaza? I am shocked!

[Pearls Before Swine]

As I said on a related article, the reason the Israeli offer to transport the humanitarian goods was refused by Hamas was that the weapons weren’t included.

These Palis and friends are so reliably dumb. If they’d sent a couple of convoys quietly, without included weapons, they’d have built some credibility and could have smuggled them in later. But nooooooo....

Well D’uh! Of course there were weapons on theose ships. Moslems never supply food or other goods. Only weaponry.

If the moslem world wanted to, Gaza would be a paradise. Send all sorts of food and supplie sthrough the Israeli check points and the Jordanian refugees in Gaza would be set.

But that’s not what the mohammedans want. They want Gaza to be a tinder box they can use to attack Israel.

The war on terror ends with the death of the last moslem.

"They should tow the boats to the Gaza port and sink them"

There's a blockade that would work in the long run.

[Gay State Conservative]

The usual suspects won't believe this in a million years even if true (which seems very likely).

[R. Scott]

They should tow the boats to the Gaza port and sink them.

In the channel.

[BenLurkin]

bttt

[rjp2005]

Will the UN decry the shipment of arms??? Not holding my breath.

[KarlInOhio]

Israeli security forces have found weapons, including Molotov cocktails and detonators,

I can understand detonators being something that might not be produced in Gaza, but Molotov cocktails? Don't you just put those together on the fly?
