So there were many ships that were victims of the IDF it seems.

Also Obama's response was.....


Haha Cenk is funny, Obama's Boss said... I mean.... Obama was Ordered to... omg sorry. haha funny guy

Currently the Rachel Corrie is in a holding position in the eastern Mediterranean Sea. According to, Free Gaza Movement’s, Greta Berlin the Rachel Corrie is waiting for the Challenger II ship, which was damaged during the attacks

What, I didn't hear that the Challenger II ship was damaged during the attacks, was it also attacked?

Anyone know?

Yep. And they said they gonna use more force on this ship.

The ship will stop at a Turkish port before going to Israel... so maybe it will be escorted... that would be interesting.

An interesting interview from the Israeli liarperson...

An Israel newspaper reported “A senior officer in the Israel Defence Forces hinted that the IDF sabotaged the engines of five ships, saying “they took care of them.”

I find this to be a much better approach. It's certainly in line with what many other nations would do and it's discreet and removes all that nastiness of the killing people and what have you. They should have done this in the first place.

I more or less approve of this. Not saying I support the Gaza siege or Zionism in general but it's certainly a step up from their earlier performance.

My main gripe with Zionism has always been that Israel thinks it has some right to exist. Which I don't believe is true. It's more of a privilege or an indulgence really. Provided by the goodwill of the UN and the international community. And unless Israel can maintain that good will and act in an open manner and be compliant I think they're somewhat undeserving of that patronage.

To sabotage an engine you have to have access to the bowels of the ship!

Have the IDF infiltrated these "aid organizations"?

Who is really tossing the shoe into the works?

Perhaps a frightened crew member on board one of these vessels has something to do with it. Seems a little to simple right now.

These groups could be losing their gusto. I guess we'll know in a few days.

I love channel 4's non-biased no nonsense approach.

"What are you going to do if the turks send warships? "

"This isn't serious!"

"Of course it's serious!!"

"How can you be serious, how can you think the turks are going to attack israel??"

Haha! Classic.

I'm fairly certain you don't. It can be done from the outside by frogmen or chains in the screws. Or nets. Anything will do really you just need enough of it to block the thing up and stop it turning. And there is little you can do to fix it at sea unless you have the right tools.

actually no - the ENGINE is inaccesible - as the engibe room is protected by water tight bulkheads and doors

chains / nets etc CAN disable the propellor / azipods or the rudder , and the seachests can be blocked

but to tamper with the ehgines does require access to the bowels of the ship

see this :

i have ommitted the air intakes and exhaust stacks for clarity - but the air intakes are filtered and have water traps

as for tools / spares - YES ships do carry the correct tools and spares to make all my the most major repairs

heck some vesseles even carry a spare connecting rod and piston / liner
