Thread:Comments:New flotilla planned to set sail for Gaza Strip/Comments from feedback form - "This is propaganda disgusued a..."/reply (2)

Regardless of the nobility of the efforts of these NGOs, it is naivete to believe Hamas will not make efforts to infiltrate all and any flotillas bringing supplies into Gaza, especially as the fleet size increases. I don't think the original poster was overly concerned about that fact, but as the standing legitimate government of Gaza, they are nonetheless a player in the movement of civilian aid. One can look at the actions of similar tyrannical governments in East Africa (Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia) that have long histories of seizing foreign aid goods for their own purposes. I'm doing my best to be non-judgmental here, but I think it's myopic to look at this as being strictly a showdown between NGOs and Israel.
