I'm no military expert, so I don't have one. Scratch that, I do. Allow aid to reach the million or so civilians in Gaza instead of choking it from all sides. What I do know is that Israel was forced to agree on a ceasefire with a a bunch of "terrorists". Quite hilarious.

Aid is reaching them everyday, both from Israel and Egypt checkpoints. They're also trading with both countries quite a lot. You don't think that this "siege" word actually means a blockade, do you? The only thing that is required to be smuggled are rockets.

  Really now. Please don't speak about issues you have no clue about. According to the Jerusalem Post, "Egyptian authorities have kept the border crossing almost totally closed" since mid-2013 [1]. Now, if Egypt's crossing is closed, do you think Israel would keep theirs open? Hmm. Read [2] for more juicy details. Conclusion: Gaza is completely isolated from the outside world. 1 million+ citizens in a confined space. Long live Israel.

    Here's the data, please: http://gisha.org/graph/2387 http://gisha.org/graph/2387 "Completely isolated from the outside world"? Not even close. 3000 truckloads a week. And growing. > Now, if Egypt's crossing is closed, do you think Israel would keep theirs open? Hmm. You seem to imply something here; as if Egypt-Gaza relations should be expected to better than Israel-Gaza. Why? > 1 million+ citizens in a confined space. Yeah, this is called a "country". Exactly what Hamas is, if you believe it, wants. And this "barrier" would be called a "border" then. You know, like countries have.

      Yes, I and my fellow Muslims and Arabs all expect that Egypt helps its fellow humans in Gaza. We expect much less from Israel, given that it is the one who built the wall in the first place. I apologize. You are right, Israel seems to at least let some aid through. A country border? What kind of country lets another state build a huge wall around it and doesn't have control of the crossing points? I'm sorry but you're spewing nonsense.
