Food, medicine and water are not blockaded?

Israel allows enormous amounts of aid to pass into the Gaza Strip on a daily basis.

Sure, they let some through - but not enough to support the people there on anything more than a borderline subsistence level.

Is there a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip? No.

Israel provides the residents of the Strip with food, water, electricity, medical supplies, etc. The residents respond with rockets aimed at Israeli civilians.

Well then - I guess there's not much point in arguing with you.
