Topic: Blockade of the Gaza Strip should be ended
the only thing a blockade does is affect the people at the bottom as they suffer from the loss of jobs and supplies
the overriding facts remain that Gazan leaders proclaim their goal is to destroy Israel, have tried for years to do so by missile attacks and terrorism
the palestinian people have a right to self determination and free trade with the rest of the world, the blockade prevents this.
the palestinian people have been displaced and have suffered and defending their homeland
The Palestinian people in Gaza cannot properly build up their economy and become a truly independent people without ending the blockade.
the palestinians are entitled to lead a normal life just like anyone else.
the people in israel deserve to receive aid and this would help facilitate that.
the people living there are living in inhumane conditions very few have adequate sewage and water facilities and its overpopulated
The people of Gaza  have a hard time getting enough drinking water, food, and electricity or sending their children to school as a result of the blockade
the people of gaza should enjoy the right of s.movement the same as other
the people there are safer with the gaza strip blockade.
The UN secretary general and many other human rights organizations argue that the blockade of the Gaza Strip is illegal, and violates a number of international agreements that Israel is party to.
the underlying issues over ownership of the gaza strip have not been resolved. until they are resolved ending the blockade would be dangerous.
there are many things that could go wrong if the blockade of the gaza strip were to be ended. a worst situation for the people just living their lives there, then is the case now.
there is no reason the blockade of the gaza strip should still be in effect.  it's costing too much to innocent people.
there is no reasonable relationship between depriving Gazan civilians of living items and the suppression of Hamas' rocket launchings
there is not much more that can be accomplished by blockading the gaza strip and it puts people in danger so it should be ended.
There's a terrible humanitarian crisis in the Gaza strip, and the fact is it's getting worse. We have to solve it before it will blow in our own faces
they blockade is necessary to keep terrorists from crossing into israel
this blockade is not effective, actually have reverse effect because it only hurts the citizens there especially the poor so will make the palestinian retaliate more against israel.
this happened a while ago and there is no reason to continue it.
this is an old practice that has created tension and should be ended
this is an old practice that should be ended
this is not our territory and we need to end our affiliation.
this is still necessary and should be maintained
this is unfortunately still required and should continue
this war has been going on long enough. just lift the blockade to help the poor
this would be a premature end to the conflict and could lead to even more severe conflicts in the future
