Until recently Israel could afford to both display its humanity and sympathy for the Gaza population (despite its masochistic decision to elect the Terrorist HAMAS group), and stop arms smuggling. Israel achieved this by stopping ships, sifting through the aid material and then sending the aid, minus any materials that could be used for weapons or weapons-making, via Israel-Gaza border crossings. Thereby showing that it is not seeking to punish Gaza with the blockade but only to prevent another war.
Yet I wonder, with all the anti-Israel sentiment out there it would seem foolish to think that "activists “have any interests other than to publicize and challenge Israel’s blockade. They disguise this by brining aid, implying that aid is needed or the starving Gaza population.
If these “activists” really cared about the "starving" Gaza population then they would deliver their aid like most truly caring nations -through Israeli channels, because it would reach Gaza's faster.
But the activists care more about depicting Israel in a negative light then they care about helping Gaza's population (who according to all credible reports are receiving all basic necessities minus HAMAS political opponents who are deprived of international aid). Considering Israel’s determination not to be cowed by these moral hypocrites, and not to end the unfortunate but necessary blockade, this, like past attempt, had zero chance of braking the blockade.
At the same time the activists have every incentive to increase the tempo of delivering aid in this twisted manner, especially after the recent provocation.
Israel should turn the tables on them and expose them from what they are, how? By implementing a policy to stop delivering aid from ships running the Gaza blockade. At least, when the tsunami of flotillas continue, and they will continue, it will be clear to all what their intentions are.
