Surely you don't suggest that the ease of smuggling relatively small
amounts of rocket components is in any way equivalent to importing
enough food, water, and fuel to feed and warm a population of a
million or so people. Also, you do know that the manufacture of
rockets within Gaza is significantly simpler than growing food there.
The equivalence you argue simply doesn't exist.

Joe, go to Google Earth:

Looks like lots of veggies/fruit trees to me. I just saw on the news
some Palestinians leaving Gaza. They didn't look like they were
starving. Zoom in on the map using satellite (labels on).
