Israel?

Israel doesn't occupy the Gaza Strip, and we could argue about the occupation of the West Bank.
> Israel doesn't occupy the Gaza Strip

Well, except for the airspace and territorial waters, and enforcing it's security zone on the Gaza side of the Oslo Accord demarcation line.

Yeah, they're only bombing the Gaza strip
Please stop!
Who ?
Not occupy but surely controls import/export into Gaza?
Yes thats what he meant occupy is like the bare minimum of what they are doing. They do so much more.
Gaza is held by a terrorist group, defined as such by US and other western countries. It also keeps attacking Israel with missiles. Nevertheless Israel exports medicine, food and concrete on a daily basis to help the civilians in Gaza. Do you think Israel should help them more in any way? What is a sufficient aid for an area which you're in war state with? In addition, for importing/exporting commodities, Gaza could use the their western border with Egypt, which in contrary to the Israeli border, the Egyptian is closed most of the time for the same reason - Egypt doesn't accept the terrorist regime in Gaza. Maybe you think Egypt occupies Gaza as well?
