Reports: Hamas Refuses Cargo, Accepts Its Propaganda Value
Further evidence that the cargo on the pro-Palestinian activists’ ships is not really meant as a humanitarian shipment, but rather a public relations maneuver:
The Jerusalem Post and CNN report that Hamas is refusing to accept the cargo.
“We refuse to receive the humanitarian aid until all those who were detained aboard the ships are released,” Minister for Social Welfare in the Hamas government said, as reported by the Jerusalem Post. “We also insist that the equipment be delivered in its entirety.”
Looks like Hamas isn’t all that desperate to get the cargo into the territory.
It’s been clear for some time, though, that this isn’t about supplying humanitarian and other good, 15,000 tons of which Israel allows into Gaza on a weekly basis. Straight from the horse’s mouth: “This mission is not about delivering humanitarian supplies,” explained pro-Palestinian radical Greta Berlin, but rather about ending Israel’s blockade to allow unfettered shipments to Hamas and others in Gaza.
