De Gazavloot heeft heus echt werkelijk niks met Hamas te maken, behalve dan dat Hamasleden bij de organisatie zijn betrokken, bij de financiering, Hamas leden deelnemen, Gazavloot activisten vorige keren bijzonder hartelijk werden verwelkomd door Hamas en zelfs een speciaal paspoort kregen, en Hamas nu de vloot openlijk verdedigt. Wie durft er nog te beweren dat de vloot niet Hamas in de kaart speelt, en slechts de bevolking van Gaza wil helpen?
Het feit dat men het voorstel van Griekenland om de hulp te bezorgen heeft afgewezen, omdat het niet om humanitaire hulp maar het doorbreken van de blokkade zou gaan, is ook veelzeggend. Hamas kan zonder blokkade immers vrijelijk wapens importeren. Er is dan geen risico meer dat wapenleveranties worden onderschept zoals recentelijk nog gebeurde en de wapens hoeven ook niet meer in delen door die krappe en gevaarlijke tunnels.

Hamas slams Greece for barring Gaza aid ship
DAMASCUS (AFP) -- The Hamas movement on Friday denounced Greece after its coastguard intercepted a US vessel which tried to sail to Gaza to break Israel's blockade of the coastal strip.
In a statement issued by its political leadership in Damascus, the group described the action as "inhumane" and said Greece had played into Israeli hands.
"This is inhumane action, is contrary to international regulations and norms," said the statement by Hamas, a copy of which was obtained by AFP.
"Barring this aid from reaching the Gaza Strip is done as a result of pressure imposed by the Zionist occupiers," referring to Israel.
Hamas also called on the EU parliament and human rights organizations "to put pressure on the Greek government" to allow a planned flotilla of aid boats to set sail from Greece to Gaza.
The Israeli-imposed blockade of Gaza "is unjust... and a mark of disgrace on the forehead of humanity," it said.
Earlier Friday, Greek coastguard officials intercepted the Audacity of Hope as it tried to set sail for Gaza in defiance of a Greek ban, to challenge Israel's naval blockade of the Palestinian enclave, an activist on board said.
The boat, which carrys 3,000 letters of support for Palestinians, left behind nine other ships which had planned to join the 2011 Freedom Flotilla II which hopes to leave for Gaza on Sunday.
