IDF Seizes Freighter Headed to Gaza

Israel Defense Force (IDF) seized a freighter ship, known as Victoria, in the Mediterranean Sea, 200 miles off of Israel's coast. IDF reported that the ship was carrying dozens of tons of weaponry from Iran headed for Hamas in the Gaza strip.

The Victoria was boarded by commandos from the Israeli Navy's Shayetet unit, and is expected to arrive in the Ashdod port later today. The ship set sails last night from Turkey, and was expected to dock in Alexandria, Egypt. IDF said that the weapons did not originate in Turkey, but that the containers were unloaded there and transferred onto the Victoria.

Iranians always have other people doing your dirty work. You even have Hezbollah Palestinians beating up demonstrators. One day soon you're going to have to fight for what you truly believe in, like Americans. Then the world will see you for the weaklings you are. I can't wait.

Iranians are said always doing dirty works but the U.S. are actually doing the dirtiest works around the world. Open your eyes the widest you could.

How do we know these weapons were from Iran? Just because Israel say so? Israel will blame any weapons they find any part of the world on Iran, anyway...The story is really suspicious considering the pressure Israel finds themselves in with the changes in the region..They badly need a distraction or some kind of attention from the US...I wouldn't put it past them...

I am against the Mullah's. But what if these weapons are from Iran. The palestin. have a right to fight against the occupation of their country. I am not against Jewish people and I believe the State of Israel can not be dismant. nor should it. I am against the racism of the state of Israel. Anyone who is critical against the State of Israel and what they do (illegal set. etc) will be branded an anti Jewish. Well this doesn't work anymore. These people are freedom fighters (Just like the Europeans fighting the occupation of the Nazis) Where they terrorists?
The Israeli government is using the same tactics as the Nazi's were using in the occupied countries during the second world war. What is Gaza if not a big concentration camp like Lodz in Poland.
