"We refuse to receive the humanitarian aid until all those who were detained aboard the ships are released," said Ahmed Kurd, Minister for Social Welfare in the Hamas government said. "We also insist that the equipment be delivered in its entirety." I think that is noble thing to do. Those people on the ship risked lives and some give their lives to help Gaza. That put more pressure on israel to release the hostages. Kurd said that Israel's decision to allow a number of wheelchairs to be delivered to the Gaza Strip was a "deception," claiming that the batteries that operate them had been removed, making them useless. Geez, I wonder what the israelis want with the batteries. The Hamas minister said that Israel's decision to send some of the aid that was seized aboard the ships to the Gaza Strip was designed to divert attention from the "massacre" that took place in the sea. Ain't that the truth. Taher a-Nunu, spokesman for the Hamas government, said that the issue of the humanitarian aid would be resolved only through consultations with the organizers of the convoy in Turkey. That is called respect. A term that you and your israeli ilks do not understand. He stressed that Hamas's top priority now was to ensure the release of all those who were detained aboard the ships. I doubt that Jews around the world disagree with that.
