You hit the nail right on the head with that one my friend. I sure know that if I wanted to get guns to a rebel force I could clearly hold a press conference, alert all the major media outlets of the world and definitely call it "aid". Boy would that fool the super-smart IDF.
Anyone with 2 brain cells would see that if you wanted to get guns to Gaza, go through Egypt.

I have not seen a report yet on the actual contents of the boat, however the blocking of a vessel can be seen as an act of war in the international community.
If the Iranian government decides to push the issue they could gain support that the boat which was approaching Gaza and not Israel being stopped by Israel would be seen as an act of war.

If it's so clear can you please provide PROOF. Maybe an article listing the contents on board other than the aid shipment on the boat. Pictures of the "weapons" would be great if you can provide those also. Otherwise it would seem it's not as clear as you say it is, just spin.
War is the reciprocal and violent application of force between hostile political entities aimed at bringing about a desired political end-state via armed conflict

As far as the Iranian ship is concerned, it was a masterfull move by iran. Israel could not win whether it let it dock or not. If it docks its an admitance that aid is needed. If they dont, Its big bad Israel. As I said brilliant tactic.
