That's factually incorrect. There are things that go in/out of Gaza but in very limited supply.
The blockade (why is it in quotes?) was created more than 10 years ago for political reasons as a way to pressure the people of Gaza to turn against Hamas. Ever since, it achieved the exact opposite. To remind you, ~2 million people have been living under this siege since then.
Don't fool your self - putting 2 million people under siege is not self protection.
PS - the US definition for terrorism is "the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.". Just saying.

No one is bombing Israel into oblivion. It's not true just because you keep saying it. Palestinians need to defend themselves otherwise Israel will genocide them. How is that wrong?
The sum total of 50 years of the Israeli Palestinian conflict since 1967 has resulted in about the same number of casualties on both sides combined as the Mexican drug cartel violence last year alone, if either party is attempting genocide they are executing it very poorly.
You're either very ignorant or very malicious.
Israel is not performing any kind of genocide.
I'm not an expert in international law, but blaming a country for protecting it's citizens from being bombed into oblivion is just nuts. The only thing this "blockade" is intended to do is to stop Hamas from building rockets. Everything that cannot be used to build rockets goes in and out through any crossing every day of the week.
