Hamas Agrees--It's Not About the Supplies

An Israeli spokesman says that the latest blockade runner's allowable supplies will be allowed to proceed to Gaza:

Palmor said the cargo would be inspected in Ashdod and permitted goods could be transferred to Gaza. The import of cement has been sharply restricted, but Palmor said some could be sent to the territory in coordination with the U.N.

But despite the grave humanitarian crisis that the allies of Hamas insist is going on inside Gaza, Hamas is uninterested in those supplies:

Hamas has said it would refuse to accept any aid from the Israeli-intercepted flotilla as long as the blockade remained in place.

Just so we're clear on the objectives of the blockade runners and the sainted international community.
