#4 Let them in. I'm sure they'll have blast. Some of them might even live long enough to beg the Israelis to let them into Israel.

#5 And in the meantime Blacks are being massacred in Sudan to the utter indiffernce of those activiists. Why is it that the only peope for whom they move a finger are those who want to exterminate Jews?

Show me a pro-Palestinian activist and they will show you a Nazi.

#7 Time to try out another of those super duper revamped Mk.48 torpedoes (see above). They are expensive as hell but I for one am willing to take up a collection for this particular acquisition.

#9 And how are those clowns going to protest against Hamas missile attacks on Israeli civilians? If they are pro Hamas, then they are targets in the GWOT.

#10 I agree with Phil. The best way to let the situation pass under the radar is to let them into Gaza, then seal the port like they want. Survivor: Gaza. I love it.

#11 letting their boats in without searching and removing anything of value would be foolish. Strip em, let em in, and lock em in with the Paleos. They become just another set of mouths to feed, and prolly not very fun after the first news conference is over and the attention goes away

#12 So sink them. That'll mean the blockade is working and prove their point. Everybody's happy!

#14 Spread the rumor that 2 boats full of Zionist commandos dressed as civilians will sail unchallenged into Gaza harbor...
and let them pass.

That is sooo.... Machiavellian.

I love it!

#17 I'm hoping for a rogue wave, or a sudden squall at sea.
If not, intercept and arrest. Let the extradition process take about 6 months while they rot in a jail cell with Paleostain buggerers.

#18 logi_cal,
That is an elegant, brilliant, diabolical, solution to the problem.

#20 Some interesting tidbits from Ma'an...

The trip organizers think one of four things will happen to the ship: it may be stopped as it crosses or approaches the barrier marking the international waters boundary, in which case the crew is prepared to stay on board for at least two weeks in protest of the illegal halt of passage. The second possibility envisioned by the organizers is that the ship will be allowed to pass into the area, and will be stopped in the territorial waters. In this eventuality the crew expects to be arrested, and the ship dragged to shore. A third possibility is that the ship will be sunk by the navy.

The final option is that the ship actually makes it through to the Gaza port near Gaza City in the north of the Strip.

According to Holocaust survivor and crew member Hedy Epstein, in the event that they can get through to Gaza they will "open the port, fish with the fishermen, help in the clinics, and work in the schools."

The ship was invited to Gaza by the Palestinian Red Crescent Society in the Gaza Strip, the Palestinian Medical Relief Society, the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights and the Gaza Community Mental Health Program, and support for the initiative was provided in part from Carter Center in the US and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

#22 put sand in their oil in the Cyprus harbor.
Done.
Adrift at sea.

#23 some metallic and kevlar strips adrift near the props will foul them. That, and some solvent in the diesel will cause the engines to burn out as well.

#26 Swamp the "vessels" at night with a couple of mines. Then an Israeli ELint Counter-Measures ship can "bend" their SOS signals enough to send any Paleo Helpers off chasing flying fish 150 miles away.

OH the GREAT WHITE Sharks are Hungry
For FAT FAT Paleo Snacks
OH the GREAT WHITE Sharks are Hungry

Repeat process with the Paleo Rescue "vessels".

#27 let them in, and as the ship gets close to shore, sink it. good chance they could survive if the Paleos assist them, but their ride home is now holding the seabed down.

#28 Let them into Gaza. Just don't ever let them out again. They can get the same treatment as Kuntar got from his dad and uncles. They'll probably like it.

#30 Ready the 3-inch gun! Surface action starboard!

From the viewpoint of maritime law, would the resulting 'activist' debris be considered flotsam, jetsam, or chum?

#31 as well as SS, MV = Merchant Vessel, FV = Fishing Vessel.
