Look, it would be great if Hamas didn't refuse the aid, but that's not the only point. If Hamas foolishly want so alienate their allies, let them. That's their decision. Asking them, though, is about as useful as talking to a wall.

Collective punishment is illegal under the Geneva Conventions. The blockade is actively preventing the goods Gaza's 1.5 million residents require.
There were no Egyptian troops storming the flotilla and shooting unarmed humanitarians.

You need to check your facts. Like, all of them. The flotilla, the site of the murders of the humanitarians, was a Turkish vessel, inspected by Turkish authorities before it left to ensure it wasn't carrying arms. The "machetes" used were kitchen knives from the galley, and the supposed Molotov cocktails? The only evidence they were used is the IDF soldiers found glass bottles (in a crate, unbroken) on the flotilla. And as for the paintball guns? The IDF forces also had sidearms with life ammunition, obviously.
