There is no doubt the situation in the Middle East is a big mess, but you simply go too far in your arguments to try and prove a point.

To say Hamas and the nations surrounding Israel pose no threat to the Jews is a simply incredible statement to make. For many of those countries, and Hamas themselves their stated foreign policy relating towards Israel is its total annihilation.

Israel are basically in a war zone. Yes the conditions in Palestine are no doubt shocking but they weren't any better under the Egyptians when they controlled it.

Hamas are an awful organisation. When they took power they executed the previous Fatah leaders by throwing them off of buildings. They used children as suicide bombers, they are an absolutely dispicable group.

Now that is not to say the Palestinians as a whole deserve to be treated the way they have been , and their plight is indeed a tragic one, but the situation over there is just so complex and such a mess there is no easy solution.

This flotilla as well was far from merely a peaceful group of humanitarian aid workers. They have even publicly stated their primary goal was not to deliver aid but to break the blockade to make a political message.

There were some infamous characters amongst them too including the lawyer who represented the notorious terrorist Kozo Okamoto who massacred over 25 people. Many were supporters of Hamas and members of the Egyptian parliament who have links to the Muslim brotherhood. Check out the full passenger list, an armada of hate is absolutely right.

It's also fair to point out that the purpose of many of those in the fleet was not humanitarian but rather to proclaim Islamic sovreignty over its lands.

Again it has been publicly stated that they (the Arab Muslim world) refuse to let Israel become a second Andalusia. Andalusia is the mulsim name for Spain and the only territory the expansionist muslims have ever lost. They are not motivated by the plight of the Palestinians but rather the belief that no territory be lost and ceded to non Muslims, and to the hated Jews least of all.

I'm not saying that was the unified reason for the majority of volunteers and aid workers who made up the majority of the flotilla, but it is absolutely the aim of the organisers and the most prominent passengers on board.

In relation to Israel actually founding Hamas, I have no knowledge on this and so can't comment. To be honest little in the world suprises me these days and all things are possible behind the scenes, with murderous, self interested people in positions of power and office in every nation and political organisation.
