Israeli kicking the butt of Arabs... again!

[Travis McGee]

This is the only thing pirates understand.

[gogogodzilla]

Well, that oughtta boost their sales right away.

“Sail with us, safe with the knowledge that Israeli security is on the job!”

And as a bonus, you’ll probably not see any Muslim or Arab on board!

[VeniVidiVici]

Hmmmm. I see this turning into a tourist attraction :-)

[fr_freak]

Stunned by the resistance, the pirates made a hasty retreat back to shore. It was one of the first pirate attacks in which a nonmilitary ship fought back.

You mean shooting back works better than bending over and grabbing your ankles? Who would ever have guessed that?

[Navy Patriot]

Cool, the Italians may have decided that they will promote a stable government, economy and the rule of law.

Just waiting to see who at the UN is offended!

[vetvetdoug]

Obama is horrified. Israelis shooting at Pirate Moose Limbs. Indignation and apology forthcoming.

[HiTech RedNeck]

Just having GUNS on the vessel tilted the odds greatly against the pirates. Having Israelis was, comparatively, only the icing on the cake.

It still has to burn those pirates that their worst enemies played a part in thwarting them.

[gaijin]

ARMED guards..! WHAT A CONCEPT..!!!

[WestwardHo]

Remember when American men used to do things this way?
What will it take for American men to get enough of the likes of Barney Frank, Nancy Pelosi, Hillary Clinton, and girlie boy Obama, etc, etc...ruining our country, what will it take for them to stand up, get rid of these creeps and act like men?

[kingu]

How long until outrage comes from the UN Commission for the seas about how private ships are arming themselves, thus violating some enviromental ruling. After all, where’s the offset for all that lead the Israeli’s pumped into the waters, and how dare they keep firearms aboard a ship - didn’t they outlaw that already?

Not to mention outrage from within Italy over having armed guards on a flagged ship... Ahh, yes, the liberals will focus entirely on the fact that they resisted, rather than succumb like meek sheep to the Muslim attackers.

May God bless Israel’s best!

[Emmett McCarthy]

Only part I don’t like is that the pirates were allowed to retreat. Sink their boat, oleave the survivors. Sharks gotta eat too, you know! Call it part of “the balance of nature”.

[Dogbert41]

Whoever starts the first pirate hunting cruise is going to make a fortune.

Screw “The Love Boat”, where’s the “Gun Boat”?

This makes reminds me of a funny bit that Jon Stewart used to do about the difference between American Jews and Israeli Jews.

““You have American Jews, who are the ‘let me help you with your tax return’ Jews,” he said. “And you have Israeli Jews, who are the ‘hold my machine gun while I take a leak’ Jews.”

[Fireone]

These pirates were in a Zodiac 500 miles out to sea. Would
it be that hard to find the mothership that delivered them?
That’s the boat we need to sink, not just the Zodiac.
If Google Earth can show a woodpile in my backyard, they
surely can show the ships within 25 miles of the pirate’s
dinghy.

Stunned by the resistance, the pirates made a hasty retreat back to shore.

The Israeli private security guards spoke to the pirates in a language they understand.

Unfortunately, too many Americans and Europeans have forgotten this language, which is the language of survival.

[Joan Kerrey]

it hired the Israelis because they are the best trained private security guards it could find.

This kind of cowboy action by Israelis can only hinder the negotiations on the two state solution. This kind of aggressive behavior must stop. Every effort must be made to not create incidents that will anger Arab nations. Once again Israel stands in the way of peace in the region. /s
