Israels blockade part 1

Israel is in danger not from a terrorist, or Hamas, not from Iran, or other Muslim majority nations. (Not necessarily a connection) No they are in danger from themselves. Their blockade is making the people of Gaza and the world hate Israel because of the despair of the Palestinian people. Their blockade causes poverty and in turn resentment. Israel is using controversial tactics to try and make Hamas go away. Yet however Hamas will be emboldened and empowered by poverty and loss of opportunity.

Israel needs to step up and end this blockade to create opportunity for the people of Gaza. Opportunity for jobs will lift people out of extreme poverty they are in. This consequently will make the parents feel more favorably to Israel and then the children will feel better about Israel. After all, the parent is mightier than the propaganda. Allowing people to move freely is a basic civil right. I know the threat of bombs but what would you think if Jews could not go to Jerusalem or Muslims could not go to Mecca (As Israel is doing) or Christians could not go to the Vatican or Church of Nativity.

I will wait till tomorrow to elaborate as I will get a different opinion and I will use direct quotes or paraphrases until then keep your mind open.
