quoting something I found - these are not my words:
Quote:
There was an interview today with ISrael radio and Greta berlin, spokesperson for the flotilla:
Quote:
ISRAEL RADIO: Let me ask you a question. Why didn’t you accept Israel’s offer to bring the goods through the Port of Ashkelon to Gaza. You could have accepted the idea and by that you could have broken the Israeli blockade as well.
GRETA: Because you don’t tell the truth. You would never have delivered any of those supplies to Gaza because all of the supplies that we are bringing in are on the list of 2000 items that the people of Gaza cannot have to rebuild they society. So you never would have, you never would have permitted the supplies in. I do not believe the Israelis because every time one of your officials talks about bringing the supplies to Ashdod, they say food, clothing, and medicine. We don’t have any of that on board. We have cement, paper, water filtration systems, the things that will help the people of Gaza rebuild, and you do not allow those things in.

Rebuild, my foot. Now... WHY are cement, paper, water, filtration systems (ahem), not allowed in? Are those filtration systems going to be used to purify drinking water? Will they be used for central a/c in clinics? Why not just bring in water bottles?
The simple answer is: they are trying to build tunnels and bunkers. Which aren't exactly used for humanitarian purposes.
When was the last time that UN humanitarian aid packages didn't include bread, water, canned meat, medicine etc?
