I was listening to a woman who was one of the leaders of the organisation in charge of the flotilla being interviewed on Radio 4 earlier. The interviewer put it to her the Israel had informed them that they intended to have the cargo unloaded and inspected at an Israeli port, but if that was unacceptable they would agree to this happening at an Egyptian port.
She didnt deny this but stated that this would have defeated the purpose of them being there. The whole reason for the voyage was to break the blockade, and to have the ship unloaded in Egypt would have meant the mission had failed
Israel lifted the blockade and had a ceasefire a couple of years ago, but within days Hamas had started firing rockets into Israel again, so the ceasefire was cancelled and the blockade reinstated.
To call Hamas freedom fighters is beyond stupid - words fail me. They are terrorists who strongly support other terrorist groups across the globe. They are part of the network of terrorists who need to be eliminated wherever they are found.
As Jereboam said, the Palestinian terrorists have a huge network of PR representatives around the world who brainwash the gullible lefties in every country.
