As for Aid, Israel has been letting in aid occasionally during the entire conflict and even used their own military trucks to do it as the bombing started. Egypt on the other hand closed their border and began shooting at Palestinians trying to cross. Of course the amount of aid can be argued but Israel only wants to let in enough to stave off a humanitarian crisis. Israel has a long established history of treating Palestinians in THEIR hospitals. Hell, suicide bombers who have attacked Jews have had their lives saved in Jewish hospitals. This isn't unusual in Israel.

That truth went right over your head, didn't it? If you wanted to, you can't bring humanitarian aid to Gaza. The Israelis won't let you. Not at all - you don't run blockades - pretty simple. Are you actually stupid enough to believe aid conveys/boats can select their own routes? The ramming occurred in international waters. I would have expected that the ship would have approached the blockade and asked for free passage into Gaza. Obviously, they didn't have a chance to do that.
