I could say to anyone on this site- rather than booking a thrill trip, why not take your money and use it for this that and the other. We have chosen Gaza and if i had said we were giving aid to Sudan, some other person would have said, "Why don't you use it for.. the Congo, Burundi, etc etc"
Not really. My point was more about efficiency. This is a really expensive political statement that will get you...where? There's more effective ways to use the amount of money needed to even attempt this, in places all over the world and your backyard.
What about what happens when you solve your problem of actually moving the goods? What exactly are you sending? How do you plan on getting it unloaded and sent to the border? Do you have contacts with smugglers to help get through tunnels if need be? How much are you prepared to have confiscated by the Israelis? Do you have contacts in Gaza? Where will the goods go and how will they be distributed once there? What cut is Hamas going to take of it? Etc.
Anyway, buffybot has some good points so maybe give those a shot.
