The Israelis have a disgusting policy of “no prosperity, no development” on the blockade, so no.

They will do what they have done in the past, give it to the settlers or auction it off.

And they top off the moral repugnancy by stealing the donated goods of kind people. Give them to settlers that would be almost surreal in its cruelty.
Drew J - I will say that Israel and the IDF are now under pressure to actually get this stuff to the people in Gaza who need it. That way they can prove they really do give a shit about these people and want to help them, as those Israeli military members tried to tell that Al Jazeera woman in that youtube video ISRAEL'S GAZA PR OFFENSIVE. If they don't, then it will show what fucking liars they are. Not to mention that at least one ship from Ireland, and maybe a couple others are going to give the same peace mission a try again soon. So Israel, you going to give that food, those toys and bottles of medicine to the Gazans that you have now captured? Or are you going to continue to be racist pricks and just keep that shit for yourselves or give it to settlers who shoot arab kids in the head and beat up arab farmers for daring to work their own land?
