    How? They were not in Gaza until the war began. In addition, there is the sea.

      IDF ships shoot anything that strays too far from the coast, and the guards don’t have to be in the cells to have people imprisoned

        I am not aware of that fact. Are there any laws/incidents which would prohibit normal ships from leaving the area?

          laws? it’s internationally illegal, but that doesn’t matter, hence all the UN resolutions that Israel ignores.

          incidents? sure, here’s an article from a few years ago of an incident that got somewhat prominent outside the region, it’s just that no one cares if the IDF blows a few brown fishermen out of the water (hell outside the English publication of a few prominent Hebrew papers people wouldn’t even know that Netanyahu was aiding Hamas to stay in power)

            Well yes, you cannot just let a ship go to Gaza because of the possibility of bringing even more weapons there.

              dude, the import restrictions are ad hawk, nonsense and seemingly change every week, this isn’t about weapons it’s about trying to starve them out

                This is a complete nonsense. If Israel wanted, they could have starved Gaza far sooner and would not play with them for 80 years.

                In addition, we can theoretically consider Israel the biggest Gaza supporters because they give them electricity and water for free. No Arab country does that.

                  it really isn’t, the only thing keeping them from going full on holocaust on the Palestinians is international pressure, because Israel exists at “the pleasure of the west” in general.

                  Ironically, the only reason Gaza doesn’t have their own Power and Water production is because Israel bombed it a long time ago and refuses to let it be fixed, because the bibi government uses it as a tool to influence Gaza, hilariously to support Hamas.

                    Regarding the power plant: it has 4 operational units but ran out of fuel as it was diesel powered. I have seen some information that Hamas has diesel as one of its resources but that was only reported by an Israeli media, hence it cannot be trusted.

                    It is debatable whether they would go “full holocaust” on Gaza without international pressure. However, I personally know some people who would support that and also certain right-wing parties want a complete siege of Palestine. I strongly disagree with this rhetoric. On the other hand, some political subjects support negotiations.
