Thanks democracynow for this report!

BRAVO Alice Walker and other activists!

It's only dangerous because of the IDF and the Israeli policy! We will NOT ACCEPT it! End apartheid now!

Much hope and good luck!

It's so funnyhow people always wants to cry when these crimes are perpetrated against them.But then when then power is in their hands, they forget so easy how they really felt when it was them.And they repeat the horrific thing that they endured and do it to another.Oh how easily man forgets.But just like Hitler fell, so will anyone else with evil agenda, like Israel.It's only a matter of time before it undoes itself. And man will yet again be left to remember what he forgot from before.

A stretch of dirt does not equal the price of a soul. This will not be turned around easily because the want for land isnt for Jewish settlers. the land is wanted because of corrupt agenda, so that the powers that be can be in control. He who has the biggest military, most land, and most resources wins..right guys? It's war games, rulers games, and anyone in the middle is expendable..AND THATS THE TRUTH.

[Violet1391]

Everything the Israeli people do to the Palestinians is a slap in the face to the memory of the Jewish people who survived the Holocaust. Its like saying what happened was ok.Just look at everything that is the same, right down to the wall in Israel.The only thing missing is the concentration camps.The only way to make a statement that the Holocaust was not acceptable is to make sure its never repeated.And yet again MAN/ ISRAEL forgets that we all bleed the same color.Greed,and Huberous rules

[Violet1391]

The truth is now that Israel has gone so far into the Genocide that they cant turn around if they wanted to. They are afraid now if they relent and open the borders and cease and desist that it will leave them vulnerable and open for attack because of what they have done. You cant commit Genocide and think the world will turn its head. If it wasnt for the US and a few other countries the Jewish people would not even be alive today because of Hitler. But then thats who they really learned from.

[Violet1391]

Do you really think getting rid of Hamas is going to solve the issue? Because the way i see it there are leaders on both sides with agendas.If Israel is worried about their security when it comes to Hamas then they should stop the genocide against the Palestinians and stop attacking Gaza and slowly torturing the people by taking away everything they need to live,medicines,food,clothing,m­aterials for rebuilding and living.There would be no need for Hamas to attack Israel if Israel would stop

Do you really think that breaking the blockade will help people of Gaza? The only thing that will help is to bring down Hamas. Because as long as the Hamas are leaders in the Gaza strip, they will continue to threat Israel security and no way the blockade will be lifted.

i am glad to hear the years of nb. 300 of slavery, cause slavery is known to be much much much longer in Eurasia and Closer East incl. Egypt < Sudan, but people there don't shout out, nor blame the "white supremacy" as Afro-Americans are still doing it even when having Obama in the White House. Alice Walker's objectivity gives the credit to the liberation movement globally!

[TheStrazy]

Those ships burning tons of petrol are polluting the atmosphere to the point where mile wide tornado's will help out the gaza people because they dont like climate change caused by slavery 200 years ago, And the good people in that room are a elite club that is the last hope for humanity because they like to ride on boats. I think i understood her correctly, maybe not but people will do what they want i guess.

Christian Science Monitor reports that the flotilla is being sabotaged. Here is a direct quote from the CSM: "Israel and its allies have been working hard to head off the planned flotilla, which is hoping to enter the waters off Gaza in the next week." Implications that Alice Walker is being manipulated by Hamas are risible.

[SantisHarrel]

Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf' reports that the Flotilla is being organized by a Hamas operative named Amin Abu Rashid, described as the "brain" behind the flotilla, who helped arrange the purchasing of the Dutch boat expected to be used in the expedition. Rashid also allegedly organized the majority of the funding for the flotilla. Alice, please, this is not the Civil Rights Movement. You are being used by an antisemitic terror group. Its not too late to back out.

Let's recall these humanitarian moment - search youtube "Hamas using children as human shields in Gaza"

[oofnikchacha]

Read more about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza: "TEL AVIV – Contrary to the claims of human rights groups, Red Cross deputy director for the Gaza Strip Mathilde Redmatn has surprisingly said “there is no humanitarian crisis in Gaza, but there is a problem of maintaining infrastructures and access to goods.”

[oofnikchacha]

How sad that the soulful sounds are those of ignorance and anti-Semitism. Let's call it like it is. Lots of people feel that Israel should allow its enemies to bomb it without responding. These activists prefer Jewish sheep. But people in Gaza can watch this video because 70% have interent access!

[zavtrakturista]

Hamas is not exactly the best thing that happened to Gaza. They are radical (killed many Fatach members to get to the leadership), They don't really carry about the little people in Gaza, they are just busy lobbying against Israel, and they will use anything and anyone (including Alice Walker) for this purpose, too bad she is falling for that.

[Articlescoil]

You know - in Hebrew we say that "the road to hell is paved with good intentions", and so it is in this case - Allice Walker has good intentions, but found a bad manner to express them..

i.e. - I think that Alice is being used by Hamas.

[sssssjjjj1]

JUST RECENTLY I HEARD A LIAR, I MEAN SPOKESMAN, FOR ISRAEL SAY THAT THE LAST FLOTILLA HAD PEOPLE WITH LINKS TO ALQEADA. I THOUGHT, "YOU MEAN THEY HAVE LINKS TO THE PENTAGON AND ROBERT GATES?"

[evesrib]

Our government doesn't care about anyone, Alice.

[offwiththefairies77]

so, she doesn't know about H.A.A.R.P.

[offwiththefairies77]

Talk about putting Oprah to shame!

[Rmahda]

I love it when people attack others ad hominem she and the wonderful people who are taking the risk of their own lives for human liberal values are being called idiots...i support the oppressed, not the colonizers.

[TheAbbatinko]

ONE OF THE ONLY TWO NEWS PROGRAMS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY THAT ARE NOT ZIONIST-OCCUPIED-THE OTHER BEING "MOSAIC" ON LINKTV...AS FOR THE ASSHOLE BELOW BOSKINATOR, YOU CAN TELL HE IS NOTHING BUT A VENOM-SPEWING KIKEN WHO IS SIMPLY SHOWING PANIC AT THE VERY THOUGHT OF HIS BELOVED ISRAHELL BEING UNSEATED AT THE UN !!!!!!

[boskinator]

Another far-left commie Code Pink "activist".

Boycott her OVERRATED work.

I hope she gets stuck in an Israeli prison, and the USA abandons her - maybe Hamas will spring her out so they can get a high profile "useful idiot".
