RE:Several nations involved and they had given notice that they were bringing humanitarian supplies.

They were told not to come. Gaza is sealed off, because of weapons smuggling. They were also told they could deliver the "humanitarian supplies" to an Israeli port for delivery to Gaza. In the past, "humanitarian" aid ships have been seized with huge weapon stores on board.

This was an ill conceived publicity stunt meant to make Israel look bad. The idiots participating in the flotilla were stupid to do so.
