if the blockade is about "weapons of war" why do israel ban the import of fresh meat, tin cans etc, all raw materials for production and a ban on all exporting of goods? so there's massive unemployment and people can't afford to buy food and have to rely on aid handouts.

any israelis i've met have been very nice people, but what israel as a state do is totally unacceptable in a civilised world. and they can only act like this because of americas backing. its time america was more even handed in trying to sort out the mess there.
