Rather than get hung up on the horns of a dilemma...seek truth in the tension of the paradox.

Evidence of Islamic Suicide Bombers
A blockade is a legally recognized tool of war. This flotilla is foolishly venturing on a field of war. Hamas instead of looking for peace, demands the annihilation of Israel.
There for Hamas is in a defacto state of war with a cease fire putting battle off to some inevitable point in the future. There isn't a nation in the world who would not use a blockade in the same circumstances. It is one of the few bloodless tactics of war.
@zibeddy June 1, 2011 University of Chicago published a massive data base that has tracked all the deaths due to suicide bombings: Looking only at Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, from 1/1/2008 to 12/30/2009, there were 6,112 deaths by extremists. There were 0 PPK (Turkey), 4 Algeria, 170 Somalia, and 89 in Sri Lanka, 0 from Hindu Bhuddist extremists Discounting the million or so who died in Darfur. Islamic terrorists perform over 95% of the murders of these innocents.
