| New boats headed to Gaza to challenge blockade |
| 2010-06-01 |
| Ay-Pee. Rest at link. Greta Berlin of the Free Gaza Movement says a cargo boat is already on the way to challenge Israel's blockade of the Gaza Strip. She says a second boat carrying about three dozen passengers is expected to join it. Gee. It's like they planned for things to possibly unfold this way. Israeli officials say about 50 of the 671 activists aboard the flotilla have been taken to Israel's international airport for deportation. They say others have refused to identify themselves and will remain in detention. A lot of them if not all threw their passports into the water. I say let them sit in prison without bothering to question them until they volunteer the information or their countries do. Wouldn't want to be seen as torturing them. |

| #13 Israel should just file a torpedo down to a point and poke a hole in all future boats coming to Gaza. No surface boats approach, no boarding, no dramatic confrontations, no video propaganda coup, not even a respectable bang. They just founder and sink over a couple of hours. |

| #12 Too bad it doesn't work against knives and rocks. |

| #10 Think they'll be packing paintball guns again? My advice: be polite. |

| #9 The next boats are supposed to be escorted by the Turkish Navy. This ought to be interesting no matter how it unfolds. |

| #8 No passports? I'm sure a Norwegian would have no difficulty getting a new passport from the Norwegian embassy in Somalia, after being dropped off there by the Israelis. Maybe he could appeal to the Somali pirates to help him out. |

| #6 I propose declaring the entire naval region of Gaza a war none and seeding it with homing naval mines. Let them knowingly enter a war zone and bear the consequences. |

| #5 Bright, just stop it about 12 miles off the Israeli coast. Let it drift. (Hopefully the currents will carry it away from shore.) |

| #4 Next time make sure the ship stops, then board it. |

| #3 More boats ? The more the merrier. This time they are going to be ready for these bastards - I hope they put each and every one of them "Peace activists" on trial and sentence them for a few years in jail. I hope they have some amphybian D-9's for handling the "Rachel Corey". |

| #2 Tossed their passports? They must be Palestinian. Drop 'em off on a beach in Gaza. |

| #1 More boats? No problem. The Israeli navy has enough whoop-ass to go around. |
