    Somehow that blockade haven’t stopped Hamas from getting thousands of rockets and firing them into Israeli citizens. Imagine what they could do for their own citizens if they wanted to.

      Not much really. The blockade prevents a lot of basic goods from entering Gaza. Not saying Hamas is doing everything they can for their citizens, but there’s a fundamental limit on how much you can do when the people controlling your borders are letting into your borders less food than they calculated you need to not starve to death. I’m not even exaggerating; this actually happened.
