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

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

#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".

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

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

#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.

#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.

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

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

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

#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.
