There are already ways to get aid into Gaza. Why did these folks choose a method they knew was prohibited? Seems to me that if they truly wanted this "HUMANITARIAN AID" to get in then they would have done so another way.
This had nothing to do with aid...they were using "HUMANITARIAN AID" as a cover to try to break a blockade that everyone already knew was being enforced.

Hamas has been elected.
I have a friend who made a trip to blockaded Gaza not long ago and experienced how life is for the ordinary Palestinian, aid is getting through but it's nowhere near enough. She also witnessed atrocities committed at the border (elderly woman hit unconscious by border guards).

Hardly surprising at all isn't it? The US will always stand by Israel no matter what it does. Anybody doubting who are the real masters in the government?
This is the kind of news that won't be aired on national channels obviously, I have not found another source so I hope someone can corroborate this source.

Those of you who believe that Israel somehow acted incorrectly, have you actually seen the videos of the raid. Here check it out, you can clearly see the soldiers being attacked with pipes and other weapons as they borded the ship. What were they supposed to do, let they fellow soldiers get mamed or killed? What would you do if you were doing your job and a group of people started to beat the crap out of you?
