the rockets are home-made from urea, sugar and sheet metal. And the weapons that Hamas imports are smuggled in through the tunnels. Its easier and more reliable that way. Plus, the tunnel operators drastically discount the price of their services for Hamas. Such is the price of doing business in Gaza.

The blockade exists purely as a collective punishment. An Israeli minister was quoted as saying the purpose of the blockade was to put the Gazans on a "diet, but not so much as to make them starve".

If any of the vehicles carrying (or attempting to carry aid) through the gates has carried so much as a single rifle or RPG, I havent heard of it.

The major operator of aid to the strip is UNRWA. Most of the time, it is their trucks carrying chickens, cows and so forth, that are turned away. Im not sure if you're accusing the UN of mixing up their humanitarian aid with guns and bombs, but to be honest, you sound like you havent put much thought into it anyway.
