Given the history in the region, it is my belief that the potential for conflict would be high.

I am very sensitive to B.S., admittedly overly sensitive at times. I tend to error on the side of assuming B.S., but my way of managing that is to make an effort to slow down and ask questions. I have present questions, there have been no answers.
In 1930 Gandhi embarked on his infamous Salt March, protesting the British salt tax and in general British rule over India. His objectives were clearly communicated in advance and he openly did not allow females to participate because he expected violent response to a non-violent act. This started a series of non-violent actions that lead to India gaining their freedom from Britain. There was no B.S. in what he did, what he expected, and how he went about it, and it was not about salt. There was honor.
In the matter of the blockade being run, I see subterfuge, misdirection, and attempts to manipulate public opinion using innocent people. And, I am not clear on if you don't see some of the problems, you perpetuate the deception, or if you just want to pretend some of the problems with what and how things happened are not real.
