Personally i think its a clever move by Iran.
Firstly they gain a win in the public relations dept, sending Aid to Gaza and being seen as determined to break the blockade.
Secondly, Its been on the cards for a while now that Israel would attack Iran...So this action will force Israel's hand. What this will do is cast Israel in a bad light and as being the aggressor..... while the ensuing worldwide condemnation may just prevent the US from getting involved. Also remember Turkey still have the right to declare the attack on their aid ship as an act of war, So Israel could potentially find itself at war with Iran and Turkey and not a leg to stand on legally.
War was always coming.....Just might be a bit sooner than expected.

Never thought I'd say it, but I'm siding with the Iranians on this one.
Their real enemies now have more allies among members of the public the world over because of the stupidity if IDF senior commanders. This only served to embolden the Iranians and any other real enemy, as evidenced by this action.

Why is everyone sending Aid SHIPS to Gaza all of a sudden?
It's almost as if they want Israel to attack them.
If you want to send AID to Gaza, do it through Egypt for christs sake.

Israel will never be drawn into a war in there area till they are ready to do so, they will sit and wait till their foes make a mistake thru frustration then they will commit acts of sabotage and let the enemy destroy itself!! Its what they do best they have a lot of patience
The enemys of Israel do not understand that the whole purpose of the exercise by Israel is to make GAZA look as tasty as possible for them IT is the centre of a spiders web and once they get you there you are theirs!!!It is also diverting attention from other areas of gaza and Israel,THE PROOF LOOK AT ALL THE ATTENTION ITS GETTING ON THIS FORUM ITS WORKING!!

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here--I'm not up on the geography there--but Rafah would be a different port than the blockade that Israel has enforced, no?

This is a non event being made big. The article says they are going to an egyptian port and then sending the aid by land. Isreal has always allowed aid through by land if ti's checked by either themselves or the egyptian authorities. So this aid will go through the Egyptian check point be found hopefully clean of contriband and then Iran will make it sound like they made Isreal back down.
