This is, of course, complete BS.



Some of the prohibited items include but not limited to: seeds, nuts, fresh fruit, fabric for clothes, newspapers, musical instruments.

Oh, and donkeys, horses, goats, and chickens

Egypt also has a blockade of Gaza.
(See 2007–present blockade of the Gaza Strip - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Why don't these people try to send the goods via Egypt and topple the Egyptian blockade of Gaza (instead of the Israeli blockade)?
Also people in Gaza with money and connections have access to food. See the video about the Roots Club restaurant in Gaza:

I wonder how many who argue for Israel have actually been there?
I wonder how many would live under the conditions Israel imposes upon the Palestinians?

Right shipmate. These guys have never met an Israeli, or in many cases a Jew, in their entire lives. But their pastors feed them the line about "God's People" on the weekends, and then Rush and Glenn Beck fill in during the week. So that must be the way it is.

At least Egypt has now said they will be loosening their border restrictions as a result of this fiasco.
