It doesn't matter what the size of the boat is. It's the cargo. "Symbolic" amounts of aid. Probably enough for twelve bacpacks. Make it eleven - the Al Jazeera journalist would have his hands full with professional equipment. Presumably.

Such symbolic amount calls for symbolic effort to unload it. But that is not the problem.

What did they intend to do with their symbolism after they unloaded it? Symbolically feed 12 Hamas operatives? Because they wouldn't get far in Gaza without Hamas permission.
