The flotilla has not only shrunk in size from about 1,500 people expected to about 350--from the video it appears that the people on board The Audacity of Hope have no clue about what is involved in trying to break a blockade, or why the Greek government felt that breaking the blockade was too dangerous to let them leave.
While author Alice Walker claims success by virtue of some message she believes the aborted flotilla sends to Gaza, the fact remains that the success of Israeli diplomacy sends a message as well, that even those countries that oppose the Israeli blockade will not automatically back those who flaunt their disregard for international law.
