What is the definition of a legal blockade? JC.

Israel allowed humanitarian aid through its checkpoints. Egypt as well participated in the blockade. There was never a humanitarian crisis in Gaza, merely a shortage of certain goods that would end if the rocket attacks ended.

The legality of blockades as a response to acts of war is not subject to serious doubt. When the United States blockaded Cuba during the missile crisis, the State Department issued an opinion declaring the blockade to be lawful. This despite the fact that Cuba had not engaged in any act of belligerence against the United States. Other nations have similarly enforced naval blockades to assure their own security.

This is from the Geneva Convention regarding blockades

Article 23

Each High Contracting Party shall allow the free passage of all consignments of medical and hospital stores and objects necessary for religious worship intended only for civilians of another High Contracting Party, even if the latter is its adversary. It shall likewise permit the free passage of all consignments of essential foodstuffs, clothing and tonics intended for children under fifteen, expectant mothers and maternity cases.

The obligation of a High Contracting Party to allow the free passage of the consignments indicated in the preceding paragraph is subject to the condition that this Party is satisfied that there are no serious reasons for fearing:

* that the consignments may be diverted from their destination,
* that the control may not be effective, or
* that a definite advantage may accrue to the military efforts or economy of the enemy through the substitution of the above-mentioned consignments for goods which would otherwise be provided or produced by the enemy or through the release of such material, services or facilities as would otherwise be required for the production of such goods.

The Power which allows the passage of the consignments indicated in the first paragraph of this Article may make such permission conditional on the distribution to the persons benefited thereby being made under the local supervision of the Protecting Powers.

Such consignments shall be forwarded as rapidly as possible, and the Power which permits their free passage shall have the right to prescribe the technical arrangements under which such passage is allowed.

Where was I judgmental? I praised your religion, but said that it has been perverted by some for their own gain.

it's ok

That doesn't particularly make any sense, but okay.

ok

I never said what you're claiming I said. All I was saying is that Hebrew and Arabic have a common origin and are a lot more similar than you seem to think.

whatever

I've addressed almost everything that you've brought up. You've shown that you're incapable of being wrong in your own mind. Even in the face of video and audio evidence, you deny deny deny
yeah right
.







fair enough?

I don't see you defending Islam, All you did was attacking Islam and blaming it of every single act that any Muslim does, and then I was called a zealot, so I knew where this conversation was going, accuse me of being a zealot, while it was you. But now you say you don't attack Islam, well, Islam never wanted ppl 2 be stupid zealots.

ok.....because he's not defending islam doesn't mean he's attacking it.....and to be honest you do come across as being a zealot,your statement about sending the jews back to where they came from stinks of it

I depends on which side your on to tell, and it's never of extremeness to ask who came by force, to leave gently. If you're answered with a no, which is said in force, too, you can also answer with force, and shall not be called a terrorist.
