#1 ...from the article: The boats carried aid that included building materials cement, tiles and steel, which Israel bans because it says they could be put to military means worth about $10 million, members said.

10 million dollars of cement??? yeah, sure!

I almost wish 10 million dollars worth of cement would have been on board.
Then the ship would have gone directly to Davy Jones' locker.
Do these terrorist activists really think the world is that stupid?
10 million dollars worth of cement would be an amount larger that the size of 6-7 ships combined.

#2 At the prices I would charge Gaza, ten million dollars of cement would fit into a foot locker.

#3 $10m is a good guess as to how much Arafat used to skim annually from the Palestinian cement company he controlled.
