    I hope they are all safe. But I need someone to really lay it out…how much aid was actually on that boat?

      One boat. 2 million starving people.

      If you think this was about the aid on that boat, you may want to go back to step one.

      It was to force the hands of the governments of the people who were detained. Which would hopefully lead to more aid getting through.

      It was reported as a symbolic amount of aid including baby food.

      Basically nothing on purpose because a useful amount could be perceived as supporting hamas.

      The plan was a succes they knew they would never make it but they demonstrated that Israel will spend resources to bar even the most minimal of aid.

        The only people who truly care about Gaza are the ones who have endlessly deep pockets to fund a relief effort that would also get turned away.

        No word on what this says about the IDF, of course.
