Are the flotilla recognised as legal humanitarian aid providers? I understand from other threads that Israel is legally required to allow humanitarian aid through. I assume here this would mean recognized humanitarian aid. Else it would be akin to just random people trying to run a blockade without a legally recognized reason, which would not put the IDF in the 'legal' wrong.

Their subsequent treatment of the flotilla and it's crew is something else to discuss of course

I don't even know if there's such a thing as 'legal humanitarian aid' as opposed to an 'illegal' one.

“Legal” who is enforcing these international laws that we can all see Israel breaking? Think about this situation as how colonialist America legally took over all of the Native American land and exterminated them “legally”. It is the same story. Meanwhile Israeli settlers enjoy free universal healthcare and schooling the United States funds.
