Part of Israel's disengagement in 2005 was installing a system of closure. The blockade of Gaza was pre planned and in place before Hamas was elected.I thought Gaza was some kind of "semi-independent" territory ruled by Hamas and that Israel ends its occupation in 2005/2006.
Maybe the link below could be useful to have some information about Gaza (but it's an Arab website in English so I don't know if they're "neutral"...)
Gaza News – the latest from Al Jazeera
We hear constantly that the blockade restricts aid into Gaza. That is only a small part of the story. The part you do not hear is why Gaza needs aid. International trade was a necessary part of Gaza's economy. The blockade has virtually eliminated all foreign trade. Not to mention that Israel has destroyed 1/3 - 1/2 of Gaza's farmland, greenhouses, and many hundreds of factories. Gaza has facilities for tourism but Israel does not allow tourists into Gaza. This means that the economy and the government have to run without income.
I blame the Jewsâ„¢
Indeed, perhaps you can tell us how long it took for your Islamic terrorist heroes to begin attacking Israel after their unilateral withdrawal.
I'm supposing you presume that Hamas, looking to implement the literal words of their Death Cult Charter should not face consequences for the acts of war they initiated.
