#1 Israel should immediately and publicly tell the world press that any ship attempting to enter restricted waters will be disabled and/or sunk.

This should be reiterated several times, so when it happens the activists only have themselves to blame.
I just wish these so called peace activists would spend the same amount of time and effort convincing hamas to stop attacks on Israel, so the blockade could be lifted without them needing to try and smuggle supplies into Gaza.

The world seems to have quickly forgotten that Israel left Gaza in search of peace, and were met with thousands of rockets shot at their civilian population from Gaza in response.

#2 Do that, then see if they can even get insurance for the ships. This is an attempt at Media Attention. They haven't even paid for their 5 ships. I'd have "mishaps" hit them in port, as a taste of the future "adventures"

#3 Chavez was said to be planning to join one of them, along with anti-apartheid activists from South Africa.

#4 Napalm any ship that enters Gazan waters, and shoot any survivors. This is nothing but brinkmanship, and Israel should call their bluffs in a very obvious, painful way. If any of these ships are warships, their presence would be an act of war, and should be responded to as such. Israel has some very good submarines, and they should be put to use.

#5 No surprise here as TURKEY has been itching to show its newfound geopol muscle - the only real question is the number of Turkish ships sent + ISRAEL'S MILPOL REACTION.

#6 OP, napalm just sets Israel up for official condemnations and cutoffs of trade etc.

It sure would be a shame if a bunch of those boats developed all sorts of problems below the waterline tho.
