Yet more on the "Free Gaza " movement

Now that the Free Gaza ships are docked and Israeli port officials are going thorough their cargoes, an interesting fact has emerged. There appear to be no weapons aboard (aside from all the knives and a few guns among the activists on board), but also there appears to be little aboard that isn't already freely available in Gaza. A few building materials that are banned, but otherwise just stuff commonly available in Gaza. Moreover, the holds have been filled haphazardly - junk just tossed into the holds in heaps.

It looks to me like the whole exercise was aimed simply at getting propaganda, and deliberately inciting a confrontation with Israel, rather than doing anything helpful for the citizens of Gaza. If propaganda was its goal, it has succeeded, thanks to the one-sided reporting of the work press. But it clearly wasn't really aimed at helping the citizens of Gaza.
