So what exactly is the goal of the flotilla?
It's not to bring humanitarian aid to Gaza.
In fact, the members of the flotilla admit in their press release that the flotilla has nothing to do with humanitarian aid:
In addition to 36 passengers, 4 crew, and 10 members of the press, our boat will carry thousands of letters of support and friendship from people throughout the U.S. to the women, children and men of Gaza. There will be no weapons of any sort on board. We will carry no goods of any kind for delivery in Gaza. Our mission is from American civil society to the civil society of Gaza. We do not serve the agenda of any political leadership, government or group. We are engaged solely in non-violent action in support of the Palestinian people and their human rights.They claim that they "do not serve the agenda of any political leadership, government or group".
That of course is demonstrably false, since they are not entering through Egypt--and by attempting to go through the blockade, they are in fact serving the agenda of the terrorist group Hamas.
Why do they not say their goal is to relieve the suffering of Gazans from the Hamas regime which targets Israeli civilians?
They are clearly demonstrating that their goal is to disrupt Israel.
The members of the flotilla do have an agenda, and that agenda is clear.
