Hebrew Blockade 1A

x
The Israelis are vulnerable to legitimate criticism for their blockade of Gaza, which goes way beyond security concerns, and is really preventing the Gazans from receiving the basic necessities of life.

Is there a legitimate need for a blockade? Yes. Is there a legitimate reason do deny basic needs? No.

Look at the map. For the most part, Israel surrounds Gaza- by land, or by naval blockade. Except for the 20% of their land border that they share with Egypt.

The Israelis' concerns about what is going into Gaza can be handled very simply- let everything Gaza needs go THROUGH/FROM Israel. Inspections can handle the security concerns, and prevent weapons and contraband from getting through. And no goddamn price-gouging of the Arabs by the Jews.
