    I doubt they didn't know the dangers of what they were doing considering Israel has attacked many aid ships in the past. I doubt they thought they would murder 10 or more civilians.

    also, it is worth pointing out the use of collective punishment and the blocking of the gaza port is subject to a UN security cuoncil resolution that Israel are ignoring.

    "SECURITY COUNCIL CALLS FOR IMMEDIATE, DURABLE, FULLY RESPECTED CEASEFIRE IN GAZA LEADING TO FULL WITHDRAWAL OF ISRAELI FORCES

    Resolution 1860 (2009) Adopted by 14 in Favour, Abstention by United States;

    Also Calls for Unimpeded Humanitarian Assistance, Welcomes Egyptian Initiative

    Gravely concerned by the deepening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip and the resulting heavy civilian casualties “since the refusal to extend the period of calm” between Israel and Hamas, the Security Council this evening stressed the urgency of and called for an “immediate, durable and fully respected ceasefire, leading to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza”.
