“IDF fears flotilla activists plan to use chemical weapons”
They are right. Best to just sink the flotilla and err on the safe side.
The vessels don’t have to be boarded - just sink them as they come in range ...
Torpedoes beat sacks of sulfur every time.
With the CNN and MSNBC cast on board.
maybe I am stupid, but perhaps it is time for the Israelis to elect a non israeli president... If I was elected, gaza would not have a single “palistinian” living there, the so called flotilla would be “bottom to bottom”...that is, bottom of ship meeting bottom of sea...Iran would be a sheet of glass, and lebannon would be a satellite state...not to mention egypt would be on the other side of the nile...maybe the Israeli’s need to elect an old pollack like me to run their country
“Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.”
Of course.
Sacks of sulfur? Nothing a little charcoal
and saltpeter (strontium for color?) can’t remedy.
“Never bring a sack of sulfur to a torpedo fight.”
It’s not quite as poetic as the original, but this is not a poetry contest.
I would not be surprised to discover that Israeli operatives have already infiltrated the groups who are planning this ‘flotilla’, and are likely to be on board some or maybe even all of the ships. So, sinking them would probably be counterproductive. For all we know, the boats may already have been “boarded” before a single interception has been attempted.
Amen!
[Except I think you meant Prime Minister. The presidency is a ceremonial position in Israel.]
They view things way too emotionally. Family members of victims are excluded from juries just because of this.

Don’t tell the leftygoobers, but sulfur is so non-toxic to humans that I routinely put some in my jeans pockets whenever I’m doing archaeological survey in brush country. It sifts through the pockets and down my legs and does a great job of repelling ticks and chiggers...
You have my vote.....
Have agents aboard disable a couple of the boats and the rest will have to tow them home.
Very expensive. Be pretty easy to disable propulsion and set them adrift.
Maybe they should use those wildeyed Whale Warrior tactics and drag some cables up around the prop or plug up their water intakes and leave em drifting at sea a few months to “think about things”.
If you take sulfur pills mosquitos and other insects won’t bother you. But every time you pass gas,, it smells like the gates of hell just opened.
