But when you do a blockade that is the exact opposite of what happens. Do you remember the Berlin airlift? They started that within days to keep Berlin fed and it took a constant line of planes coming in. I find it amazing that you know that Israel did a blockade on food and aid for two months and you are here just trying to downplay it. There is no way that warehouses full of food for 2 million people are there, none. You can believe what you want to believe, I cant. I have to go by reality and reason and reality and reason says that yes, people in Gaza are starving. Maybe not all of them but damn sure there are too many of them. That's what a blockade does.
