Disgusting.
The US is giving the Israeli's hundreds of weapons and ammunition in their shipments, yet they won't let this ship provide food, medicine and fuel.
The world makes me sick sometimes.
I hope all you warmongers are happy, happy knowing that dying children won't get the treatment they so desperately need, knowing that your tax money is funding these criminals and allowing the genocide of innocent people.

Do any of you seriously think that Iran (as in IRAN) is going to ship nothing BUT food and medicine? I think there are munitions below the food and water.
A senior Iranian commander says if Israel continues intercepting humanitarian aid for Gazans, Iran will adopt an alternative approach.
After an Iranian ship, carrying food and medicine, was stopped 20 miles off the coast of Gaza, Brigadier General Mir-Faisal Baqerzadeh, Head of the Foundation for the Remembrance of the Holy Defense, hit out at Israel for committing a "war crime"
Iran's state television says the country's Red Crescent Society has sent cargo planes filled with 50 tons of relief assistance to Egypt to be sent on to Gaza.
Iran has already sent a cargo plane filled with 50 tons of aid to Egypt to be sent on by land to Gaza.
It is NOT Israel's responsibility to give a damn or to take care of the people in the Gaza Strip. That land was returned. It is also not Israel's responsibility to open her borders to the very people that openly call for her destruction!

So the Gaza strip land was returned but the border with the sea wasn't.
What you are saying is that the people of Gaza are inside a giant prison cell constructed and guarded by Israel?

An article from today
Iran has already sent a cargo plane filled with 50 tons of aid to Egypt to be sent on by land to Gaza.

Either Iran is lying about its air cargo being intercepted by Egypt or they are lying about the aid that has already been sent to Egypt. I don't think it would take 14 or 15 days to intercept CARGO PLANES coming from Iran.

Just wondering how Israel knew what was inside the ship without
inspecting it. Or are they just assuming Iran + Ship = Nukes or
a Zillion greeks come out of belly after it's parked at night.
On Tuesday, the boat docked in Port Said, Egypt, but the Egyptians refused to allow it to unload its cargo and at midnight Wednesday the boat tried sailing into Gaza.
Athens/Nicosia - A Greek-flagged vessel carrying humanitarian aid for the embattled Gaza Strip was forced to turn back to a Cyprus port on Thursday after Israeli warships threatened to open fire, reports said.
The Arion, whose passengers included peace activists from the US- based 'Free Gaza' group, doctors, aid workers and European parliamentarians, had set sail from Cyprus a day earlier after a two- day delay due to mechanical problems.
