Nothing. I agree with most of what you've had to say, but I think that list is hilarious.

this has reached full circle people, its time to let it go, none of you will stop whats going on there, so yeah, lives were lost, and both sides are right and wrong, deal with it, but stop posting the same shit over and over.

It is minds like you, why this planet is at it's current state. "Stop it, you can't change what is going on." Do you realize how pathetic, how ignorant you sound? If you've ever read just a little bit of history, you would have realized it only took one person's initiative to change the world most of the time.

Mahatma Gandhi
Nelson Mandela
Kemal Ataturk
Abraham Lincoln
Martin Luther King Jr.

These figures influenced masses, and thanks to these people the world is a different place. So stop saying "none of you can do nothing."

You don't know that. You don't know if one of us decides to stop playing f.cking computer games and take action.

But you are pathetic. You think what people have been doing here is nonsense. You think people should stop exchanging ideas about something terrible that happened and go back to playing video games. You sir, want people to stop discussing a very important and a very sad fact of the world which is crimes against humanity and go back to playing computer games.

It isn't time to let it go. It never is. It is time to let go of stupid, mind numbing video games and start taking actions. It is time to unite over the internet. This is the only place where all the minds of all the different nations can unite and have their voices heard. This is the only place that we can start fixing our generation that which is also under the influence of the digital drug called the internet. We can't continue numbing our brains. It is time to use the internet for good,

So, say it with me if you agree with me;

Hi, I'm from the Republic of Internet and I'm against the crimes that are committed against humanity.

Thank you.

Yeah, you sound so smart by quoting the names of historical figures that did changed the world, however, they took action, did stuff, not argue in the INTERNET trough anonymity in a video game forum in 51 pages of redundant stuff, that is repeating itself over and over.

Its not time the let go, it never is, but be objective, this a forum, ergo its time to let go HERE, please, if you want to promote any type of protest, anyway you want to make it, contact me and ill help you, flood any Israeli/Turkish/Palestinian government website, hold signs anywhere, or at least record a fucking youtube video showing your disgust with those events, dont care how many people appear, or whatever you do, then im the first to help you, hell,i will even OPEN A THREAD about that here, and you will certainly find hundreds to support you, if you are really as bad-ass and world changing as you are, then go ahed.

But dont dare bullshiting me about writing an a forum were ideas are clashing with nonsense, even if this forum reaches 200 pages worth of valids arguments, it aint gonna change nothing, go to the UN page and PROTEST, post that same post there, and ill go ahed and post the same after you no prob, now, thats using the internet for good, you know how many people are as pissed as you are right now? hundreds of thousends, cool, but this is creating more fights, youre arguing with the wrong people, noone will change the way they think with a random guy who posted a news link and calls it a "valid point" when most links are biased, depending on who posted.

So please, stop this.

Even if this whole discussion makes a difference in on persons life, even if it makes one person to realize what is going on in the real world, even if it makes one person to start searching on the subjects that matter a lot that means we accomplished something here.

You are still acting like an ignorant person.

How do you know that some of us are not discussing these subjects on different forums, how do you know that I'm not taking an active role in my country on this subject? How do you know that I'm not doing the things you've claimed that I'm not?

Don't you agree with me on my point? Don't you think making one person realize that there is shit going on in the world and it is bad, is worth it? If you don't, I've nothing more to say to you..

There are many smart, people playing starcraft. We don't know if the next historic person is an ex sc player, do we?

Then continue, i wont get draged into this, and good luck to you, i hope this stops the problem.

I see your point now. The list contains names of some important people that made a change in the history.

Could as well add names like;

Hitler
George W. Bush
Saddam Husain
etc..

Nothing so special about that list.

Just read an article in The West Australian (Western Australia's newspaper). This article was sourced from the Sydney Morning Herald who had journalists on the boat.

This is only one quote from the article which speaks mainly about the treatment of activists on the Mavi Marmara by Israeli commandos.

Two days before the Israeli assault - in which nine activists were killed by Israeli gunfire and up to 30 more wounded - the bullet-headed Bulent Yildirim, head of Turkish non-government relief agency IHH, which effectively ran the flotilla, did an interview with the Herald aboard the Mavi Marmara. He explained that Israel could not afford to pay the price of the disaster he confidently predicted it would make in its efforts to intercept the convoy.

Just wait a little bit, they will eventually announce it. The tv channels say a news agency announced it. Until then I'll try to keep you updated.

Israel says: We are not going to let the Irish ship reach Gaza.

They are probably gonna do what they were supposed to do with the other ship. Herd it to one of the Israeli harbors.

Rachel Corrie boarded, equipment jammed

Written by Free Gaza team | 05 June 2010
Posted in Press releases

Press Release - Wed 5th June, 3.30am
The IPSC has been contacted by the MV Rachel Corrie in the past few minutes. Jenny Graham reported that they had been followed by Israeli ships for about 2 hours, and that in the last few minutes 2 ships were approaching from the port side. Ms Graham said that equipment on board had been jammed by the Israeli navy, and that they expected their satellite phone (number below) to be jammed soon as well. The line was bad, and we were unable to determine the exact location of the Rachel Corrie relative to their destination.

On hearing of the news, Freda Hughes of the Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign (IPSC) said: "We all hope that those on board the Rachel Corrie will remain safe and that there will be no repeat of Monday's terrible attack on the Freedom Flotilla. Our hearts are with you."

The Rachel Corrie is flying their Irish, Malaysian and Filipino flags at half mark as a mark of respect for their murdered comrades from the Mavi Marmama which was hijacked on Monday by Israeli commandos in an attack that left at least 9 people dead.
Speaking about Minister Micheal Martin's statement earlier in which he said that those on board the Rachel Corrie had rejected a so-called deal that would involve them docking in the ISraeli port of Ashdod, Jenny Graham said: "We will have no part in a deal that involves us legitimising the siege of Gaza. We intend to continue on our mission to deliver our cargo of aid and supplies to the people of Gaza. This has always been our intention."
