People keep romanticizing the Gaza flotilla as a “"humanitarian" mission when in reality, it's a political stunt designed to provoke Israel. The UN Palmer Report(2011) already concluded Israel's naval blockade on Gaza is legal under international law, precisely because Hamas, the group controlling Gaza, is a designated terrorist organization by the U.S., EU, U.K., Canada, and even Arab states. Israel already allows hundreds of aid trucks through official crossings daily, the flotilla deliberately ignores that process to create viral outrage.

The 2010 Mavi Marmara incident proved how staged this all is. "Peace activists" on board attacked Israeli commandos with knives and metal pipes, hardly humanitarian behavior. Every country in the world would stop unauthorized vessels entering a restricted security zone. But when Israel does it, suddenly it's "war crimes." The hypocrisy is staggering.

And the "Israel kills for fun" narrative is just propaganda. Hamas routinely hides behind civilians, launches rockets from schools and hospitals, and stores weapons in UN facilities, confirmed by Amnesty, UN OCHA, and even Al Jazeera's own investigations. The flotilla participants may be educated, but they're not neutral, they're knowingly feeding a propaganda machine that keeps Palestinians trapped under Hamas rule.
