A video shows an activist on one of the boats of the Gaza Sumud Flotilla chucking packets of chocolate into the Mediterranean Sea.

Observers give three possible reasons for this: One, the activists, having been intercepted, are desperate for their aid to reach Gaza and hope the food will wash ashore to feed the starving Gazans. Two, this is merely a publicity stunt. Three, they’re not very bright, since the food is more likely to kill the fish in the sea than feed the people on land.

Critics say that this littering pollutes the water and serves no purpose.

Meanwhile, the activists aboard the flotilla claimed that Israel has jammed the communications of the flotilla by blasting Rihanna’s pop song “Please Don’t Stop the Music.”

Critics say that activists aboard the flotilla are only pretending to be alarmed that they can’t send out distress signals, since they are not in any danger.
