Who didn't see this coming?
Zoabi and her fellow travelers don't actually approve of the easing of the blockade because it might lower the level of the global anti-Israeli rhetoric. This part, though, I think she accidentally got right.
Knesset Member Hanin Zoabi (Balad), who participated in the Gaza-bound flotilla to break the blockade on the Hamas-ruled territory, said that the cabinet's decision to ease the blockade "proves that it is not a security blockade, but a political one."Ms. Zoabi, unfortunately, lives in an alternate reality, where down is up, white is black, and sending navy seals into a confrontation with paintball rifles signals an effort to maximize fatalities. In real life, she's a member of Israel's parliament (one of three MKs from the Arab Balad party) which position she uses to vilify the Jewish State (a description she utterly rejects) at every opportunity. Such is life in an "apartheid state" ... if you don't know the meaning of "apartheid."

"Israel is under siege as far as (global public opinion) is concerned; not because the world is anti-Semitic or hostile toward Israel, but because Israel is applying its own moral code and does not adhere to the universal code," she claimed.If Israel actually did stop applying her own (much higher) moral code and gave that universal puppy a try, she might find a little more reluctance on the part of some to mess with her. Ain't gonna happen, though.
