And the moral of the story... "be careful what you wish for"...

im laughing all the way to the beach... ;-)

Gil, Tel Aviv, Israel

Better there than here.

Alan, Edinburgh,

The fact she cant be with her children is no one else's fault but her own. Peole like her appear to be unable to understand the realities of war and think its all shrouded in fluffy cotton wool so individuals like her can play with other peoples lives and when bored run off back to suburbia

james, southampton/auckland, england/nz

Neil in Gloucester - Zionists are not colonials, the land Israel is on was Jewish before Muslim and had continued Jewish presence over the millenia. And Gaza is under control of Hamas. Stop believing far-left apologists and learn the facts of the matter. No terrorism from Gaza = no blockade.

C Bozner, London,

so what?
this is a non story
she put herself there well she can get herself out as well
I am fed up with people who for what ever reason gets them selfs into things like this then cry when they get stuck

she should have known this might happen and if she did not then she is stupid

knight, aberdeen, uk

One suspects not only the Israelis and the Egyptians, but also those running Gaza regard her as naive at best and an idiot at worst. Too many Westerners have a messianic complex--they only wind up getting used by one political group or another. Moral of the story--stay out of other folks' business

Terry L. Walker, Ladson, SC / USA

She is posturing for the media. If she wants to 'free Gaza' she should work towards freeing it from Hamas terrorist control. She ignores Israel and then expects Israel to waive the rules for her benefit. Came by boat? Go by boat! I'm sure Hamas can find a way. Or is it more fun to posture?

Paul Freeman, London, England

cant wait for the book.....

tim, london,

The pro-Israel bias seems to be permeate too easily into these 'comments'. The woman has certain political inclinations that we should respect, if we wish to be a part of a pluralistic society. Regardless, she has every right to seek support from the British govt.

Nelson, London, England

What did she expect? She is stuck in a war zone controlled by people who wish to reclaim their country from colonisation by politicial Zionist thugs. Her brother-in-law did his best to prevent them from doing this.

Neil, Gloucestershire, England

Rather like her sister she is brainless - what did she expect?
Tea and biscuits like she has in South Kensington? Gaza is a war zone controlled by terrorists did nobody tell her ?

Victor M., Cricklewood, London,

Absolutely no sympathy. Let her get a boat back the way she arrived - why should Israel help her when she is providing aid to terrorists who are lobbing rockets at Israeli civilians? Maybe she can help draw attention to the plight of the children who are victims of the people she aids...

Nick, Rotherham, UK

Serves her right. What empty-headed stupidity: did she really think chartering a boat to Gaza was going to end the Arab-Israeli conflict? It was a thoughtless publicity stunt by another bleeding heart Western do-gooder. The Israelis are quite right to refuse her entry.

John Bargh, Clitheroe, United Kingdom

We'll trade her for Tony.

Mike, Bristol, UK,

Publicity Stunt?

Break blockade by boat... then don't use boat to leave again. Why?
The boat went back to Cyprus.

It sounds like she went to cause trouble, and is making a racket about it when it arrived.

Maybe she should wear a Catwoman outfit like Fathers for Justice.

Terry, Belsize Park,

Hah! This was not a 'human rights' mission. It was a propoganda mission aided by Palestinian political interests. She wanted to be in Gaza, so now she is there. With a history of anti-Israeli behaviour, no wonder she is not allowed to cross, and now she goes crying to the UK govt to save her.

C Bozner, London,

Don't worry, her sister will be granted legal aid to obtain thousands in compensation for the infringement of her Human Rights.

R Jones, Redland,

Being stuck in Gaza is the least she deserves. These international cheerleaders for the terrorist statelet run by Hamas masquerade as human rights activists whilst ignoring the human rights of Israelis not to be bombed. She is supporting clerical fascists but gets all weepy when she can't come home!

Ben, London, England
