The purpose of breaking the blockade is to rearm Hamas. Not to feed starving Gazans.

The purpose of the boatloads of Turks getting involved is to get Erdogan reelected in 13 months, not to help Gazans.

The purpose of pointing this out is not to vilify anyone, but to open the eyes of people who are being used by would-be blockade runners.

But wasn’t there an internal Israeli government document leaked recently that called into question the purpose of the blockade itself? This conflict has been going on for over 40 years. It’s not going to end in the next five. Politically speaking, both sides need the conflict to justify their actions.
