I also liked the part that says :
Quote:

“The Israelis asked us to stop the ship and withdraw to Egyptian waters. We managed to radio the Egyptian army for help,” he said.

followed by :
Quote:
|
Upon realising the presence of Egyptian naval forces, the Israelis departed.
|
they admit that they were asked to return to Egyptian waters.
and then make it seem like "thankfully, the brave Egyptian navy came and scared the evil Israelis off" later on.

thats exactly the point.
there is more "Aid" going into Gaza every week through land then a ship of that size could possibly carry in a year, and Egypt's apperently more then willing to let them send their stuff in through the Rafah crossing.
they try by sea because the whole POINT is provocation.
