I believe Shaikh Moutasem al-Hameedy addressed the issue briefly in his program 'Inspirations' on Huda Tv. I wasn't fortunate enough to watch it. So you can look into it, if it interests you.

Btw, you do realise that Gaza has borders with a muslim country who has closed its borders ?
BROTHERINISLAM7 AND OTHERS WHO AGREE WITH HIM - I definately dont and am with those who find the reasons put forward by you as weak hearted and sentimental and intellectual ranting at the sametime.
you are worried that what the kuffar would have done to the sisters on board - (the sisters who were more brave than us men sitting behind the safety of our computer screens-) where is your concernabout 'our sisters' in palestine who go through this humiliation for decades now and what about those who are tortured in abu gharib and prisons like the same.
these people on flotilla knew what they were going into-so that sissies like you and me realize and wake up. if that happens that will be the greatest achievement of those martyrs.
and remember that Thawbaan (radhiAllaahu ‘anhu) related that the Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, "The nations are about to call each other and set upon you, just as the diners set upon food." It was said, ‘Will it be because of our small number that day?’ He said, "Rather, on that day you will be many, but you will be like foam, like the foam on the ocean. And Allaah will remove the fear of you from the hearts of your enemies and will throw Wahn (weakness) into your hearts." Someone said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah! What is Wahn?’ He said, "Love of the world and hatred for death."4
” O you who believe, when you meet an enemy, be firm, and remember Allah much, that you may be successful. And obey Allah and His Apostle. And fall with no disputes, lest ye falter and your strength fail; but be steadfast! For Allah is with those who patiently persevere. Be not as those who came forth from their dwellings boastfully. And to be seen of men and debar (men) from the way of Allah. And Allah encompasses what they do” (viii. 45-46).
This is the blind taqleed of scholars in its purest form. You have not heard him, you don't know what his arguments were, yet you know whatever he could have said was correct and all others are wrong. This shouldn't be the behavior of a ghair-maqallad like your kind self.

So akhi saif, if you would want to know the Islamic response to a certain situation, who would you look for answers ?
Listening to scholars who have knowledge of the Seerah and other fields of study in Islam, would help us to understand our faith better and perhaps we can apply some of the knowledge in our own personal lives.
I have noticed from your previous posts on TTI that you have an open agenda to discredit and tarnish our mashaykh hafidhahullah taala. I would advise you to fear Allah subhaanaho waa taala & not spread your hate-filled propaganda on this webforum.
I would encourage you to listen to this Jumuah Khutbah.
Wasalaamalaykum waa rahmatullahi

This is an example of a emotional response. One which often is the most ill conceived and ill planned idea.
Rather, if someone convinces the Egyptian govt to open the borders from their side, it would open a route for aid to go into Gaza regularly.
But we are instead busy 'breaking the seige' from Israel's waterways. 'Making a statement' is what we care more about these days. Shouting, burning flags, chanting slogans on the street etc etc.
There is no doubt that they are plenty of muslims who care passionately about Islam & plight of fellow muslims. Yet when we take action or try to find a solution, we copy the ways of Kuffar, relegating the scholars to the backseat. It is like we have to ape the kuffar and show our plight to them, to find solutions to our problems. What ever happened to finding the solutions from our deen ? Or even abiding by our deen for a start ?
.......
Not to forget total disregard to 'Politics in light of Islam'. Oh yea, we do have something in our deen about it !
The only thing this incident did is to show how clueless and hopeless we are. In addition to how much we require the 'pity' of the kuffar, to showcase that we are being exploited/wronged against.
May Allah subhaanaho waa ta'ala help us and guide us. Ameen
Wasalaamalaykum waa rahmatullahi

How long is the aid on these flotilla ships going to last ? 1 month ? How many people would it serve ? A small tiny % of people.
