These flotillas are by definition illegal. They are attempts to run the blockade with civilians

I don't think it is illegal, under international law, to deliver humanitarian aid. This is why the russian tanker that is supposedly being dispatched with oil is considered a delivery of aid (US will still seize it of course) and also why Mexico is currently shipping aid, primarily food (no oil or fuel), to the island.

International Law is fake, it's a theatrical farce with no power behind it. Hasan is a citizen of the US and subject to US law, which is real and can put him in jail

This is true, but its also been illegal to travel to Cuba at all in the past, which was never enforced.

The Russians should spare a war fleet to protect the aid

If only. They will probably just let the US take it and send the oil to Haifa
