Gaza Blockade (Again)


There was a truce between Hamas, the elected governing party in Gaza, and Israel.
Then the Israeli military entered Gaza and killed people.
Hamas retaliated since Israel had violated the truce.
So, Israel inflicted collective punishment yet again on Gaza. Israel blockaded Gaza's borders and will not allow anyone in or out. No supplies, fuel, or food is allowed in.
Israel has made Palestinians dependent upon Israel via controlling their borders and now has destroyed the Palestinian infrastructure and economy.
It is a humanitarian disaster.

Yet another reason why Obama's quick pledge of unwaivering support for Israel must be called out.
