Clusterfuck of a situation.
CLIFFS:
1. America wants democracy in Palestine.
2. Palestinian people elect Hamas.
3. America doesn't support Hamas and labels them a terror group.
4. Democracy is in Palestine, but not really because we don't support the elected party.
Oh, and this shit was bogus. Israel allows aid but it has to flow through their ports. These hippies were intentionally trying to (and saying they were going to) sail past the blockade. Obviously this would piss off the IDF. Israel is sick of getting blasted with rockets and being threatened by the likes of Iran.
However, shooting at the ship, boarding it in international waters, executing people, etc. doesn't really bring good PR for the cause.
The entire situation was fucked from the start. Those people played with a snake and got bit...
