    The blockade was in response to the election of a known terrorist organization that was amassing weapons.

    But hey, if you think it’s okay to try and murder Israeli civilians on the daily, why are you so mad at Israel killing Palestinian civilians? Seems pretty hypocritical of you.

      The blockade started 3 months before Hamas was elected so… yeah. Israel declared war on Gaza before Hamas was even elected.

      You mean the election that the Israeli government helped Hamas win, then used as an excuse to punish Palestinians? You fucking pro-Israelis are the biggest liars on the planet.
