We shouldn't normalize the idea that it's acceptable for Israel to control all communication and trade of another state.

Gaza is not a state, it has no stable government and peace treaty with its neighbors.

There's no simplistic 1-line solution here. Take a look around the other Middle Eastern states that have lost their governments recently.

During a war? I don't see why that's controversial.

Israel could have easily cut the lines and used a jammer.

They didn't.

I love how the parent comment phrased that as if Israel was doing Gaza an immense favor by not cutting communication.

Because you can't do a favor to a population you've imprisoned against its will? Plus, the fact that you control the communication channel for said population in the first place makes cutting it off a weak move.
