Pro-hamas Flotilla

Is the flotilla to Gaza delivering weapons and or materials for bomb making and rocket making to hamas? Why else are they refusing Israel's request to dock at Ashdod and be checked for dangerous materials?

Press release from The Israel Project:

Group with Terrorist Ties Attempts to Deliver Supplies to Gaza, Refuses to Deliver Letter to Captive Israeli Soldier


A flotilla of pro-Palestinian demonstrators with links to terrorist groups is en route to the Gaza Strip in defiance of Israeli government requests to deliver their shipment through legal channels.[1]

Israel has appealed to the convoy of ships – which embarked from several European countries and is carrying more than 10,000 tons of humanitarian aid – to dock in Israel’s southern port of Ashdod so its humanitarian supplies can be delivered by Israel through the Gaza border crossing after they are checked for dangerous materials.[2] However, the flotilla’s organizers have refused to abide by Israel’s request, constituting a violation of international maritime law.[3]

Don't appeal to them, just seize the ships by force and check them.

According to CNN, the organizers also declined a request by Noam Shalit, father of captive Israeli solider Staff Sgt. Gilad Shalit, to deliver aid, medicine and a letter to his son who was kidnapped by Iran-backed Hamas on June 25, 2007.[4] Hamas has since barred the Red Cross or other humanitarian groups from visiting Shalit – a violation of the Geneva Convention.[5]

This should put to rest any notion that the flotilla has anything to do with humanitarianism and everything to do with showing solidarity with and aiding Israel's terrorist enemies in their goal of genocide against the Jews and obliteration of the Jewish state.
