    So if it’s a total blockade now, what was it before? (hint: it was also a blockade then, has been since 2007)

    It’s saddening to see Israel’s military (which is not Israel) attack civilians and civilian infrastructure in retaliation for Hamas (which is not Palestine) having attacked civilians and civilian infrastructure- this is all a shit-show of punishing the innocent to get the other side to back down and it will never end.

        Other nation on land you claim

        box them in, stop food shipments

      It was a blockade looking for components that could be used to make rockets. Goods could (and did) come through after inspection.

      Well it’s one thing to blockade a region during a war/conflict (which even has a border with Egypt) and killing and raping hundreds of festival attendees…

        Yep, very bad moves by Hamas troops to do that. Doesn’t take away from Israel’s war crimes and genocide.
