As they drew nearer to Gaza on Sunday, the 12 crew members of the Freedom Flotilla vessel the Madleen remained undeterred in their mission to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged enclave, even as an Israeli official issued new threats.

Waiting for the inevitable "Hamas were hiding in the brig" or some other pathetic excuse

I mean

""To the antisemitic Greta and her fellow Hamas propaganda spokespeople, I say clearly: You should turn back—because you will not reach Gaza," Katz said, referring to Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, one of the 12 people on board. "Israel will act against any attempt to break the blockade or assist terrorist organizations—at sea, in the air, and on land.""

Are they not just basically calling them Hamas?

I hope what I expect to happen doesn't happen, but if it does, I hope it will ignite an awakening among western people/governments.

The boat is pointy, it could be used as a weapon by Hamas!
