WTH? Why would Hamas not want any aid?
Because Hamas isn't interested in more aid (15,000 tons a week comes into Gaza through the land border). Hamas is interested in maintaining the anger of their population, providing news footage to their supporters in the West, and furthering their political agenda of isolating Israel.
This isn't about aid, this is about politics. The passengers on the
Rachel Corrie aren't humanitarians, they are willing bit players in the ongoing aggression. If you truly want aid to reach the people of Gaza you work with the Israelis (or the Eygptians) and you arrange for transshipment. Plenty of aid organizations are doing that already.
