Hamas Stopping Transfer of Aid to Gaza

The Hamas government in Gaza is apparently not interested in receiving the goods that were carried by the 'humanitarian' Turkey-sponsored flotilla Israel intercepted.

The IDF Spokesman said Wednesday that "As of right now, the State of Israel has loaded 20 trucks with various types of aid found onboard the flotilla. Expired medication, clothing, blankets, some medical equipment and toys were among the aid found on the ships."

"Unfortunately, the Hamas terror organization is unwilling to accept the cargo and the trucks filled with humanitarian aid have not been allowed to enter the Gaza Strip. It appears that Hamas is in fact stopping the transfer of the humanitarian aid.

Hamas is not interested in either letting the people get out of Gaza or improving the lives of those hwo are there. A large, suffering population suits Hamas just fine.

Well, they just had some volcanoes in Guatemala. Perhaps the 'flotilla' would happily load those supplies back up and transport them to Guatemala. If not, they could at least make them available to a company that would.

Think of the lives they could save, and the people they could help.

"the total tonnage carried by the flotilla (about ten tons) is much less than the amount of aid Israel transfers into Gaza every week (about eighteen tons)."

They only plan to use them as shields anyway.

I am sure the usual Unpunished Nazis (UN), Islamic Terrorist States, American anti-Semite Liberals, and Globalist anti-Semite Liberals will find some way to blame Israel for Hamas refusing aid to Gaza.

Maybe Israel should just nuke Gaza and get it over with....no matter what they do, the anti-Semites will never give Israel any peace

No weapons left in the load, so why bother to accept it?
