14. The Free Gaza Movement is totally political, not humanitarian. That's why. In fact...

...they're against humanitarian aid to Gaza.

"This aid is paying for Israel’s occupation by alleviating Israel of the responsibility to care for the people it occupies. We firmly believe that activists and people who care about Palestine should not be raising money for humanitarian aid but should focus on direct action to confront the Israeli policies that leave Palestinians in need of this aid."

Oh, and as well as being politically motivated their views are totally bigoted. They're not peace advocates.

"The third Intifada being urged now has to be our intifada too. As Israel steps up its destruction of the Palestinian people, we need to step up our reconstruction of our resistance, our movements, of our communities in our own counties, where so many of us live in alienation and isolation. We need to be the third intifada - people here need more and say repeatedly that they need more than the demonstrations, because they are not stopping the killing here."

They're warmongers.
