These are protesters, not military. The goals are several and they'll take what they can get. If they can get the aid through, that's a victory. If they can't get the aid through, but bring international attention to the (illegal) blockade of Gaza, that's a victory. If no one on the flotilla is murdered by IDF forces illegally boarding a Turkish vessel in international waters, it's a victory.
