Gaza City, 10 a.m.- Fifteen Palestinian fishermen and 3 international Human Rights Observers (HROs) were surrounded by the Israeli Navy and taken from their boats 7 miles off the coast of Deir al Balah, Gaza Strip.

The fishermen and the HROs were transferred from 3 separate boats to the Israeli warships. Other Palestinian fishermen reported that the 3 boats were seen being taken north by the Israeli Navy.

The Human Rights Observers are Andrew Muncie, a Scottish British citizen, Vittorio Arrigoni, an Italian citizen, and Darlene Wallach, an American citizen. They have been volunteering with the International Solidarity Movement (ISM) since they entered Gaza on ships with the first Free Gaza Movement voyage on the 23rd August 2008. All internationals have previous experience working with the ISM in the West Bank.

Hold the phone here, You support terrorism and im an idiot. What planet are you on fs.

[demon7seven]

You sound like a total idiot.. people laugh at those who say stuff like this anymore.. come out of yer cave into the real world..

[Madds5]

Hit yourself a slap fs. If you want to fight come out and fight, dont hide behind women and children or brainwash kids to become suicide bombers. Where would palestine get 50 virgins from anyway.

[demon7seven]

Fighting for freedom has never been terrorism and would never be, except in the eyes of coward Zionist occupiers..

[Madds5]

Free Palestine and Gaza from terrorists would be a good start. Evil people attacking other countries while the innocent suffer. Theres never an excuse good enough to justify terrorism. Never.

Oh please... know your history lad

Wolfe Tone - presbyterian

Robert Emmett - Protestant

Come on if your gonna chat history at least know it!

And at the end of the day it was Loyalists that committed the first murder in NI!

The land was the land of Irish people before the English came and stole it, the initial fight was over land not religion!
