"Don, there are no restrictions at all on food and humanitarian supplies."
The Dalek-like repetition of this only serves to underline your continuing to ignore the evidence put forward
Deliberate delays on the delivery of medical supplies have caused shortages which have led to deaths
You have had the evidence
Long-term blockading of essential equipment has led to malnutrition in %10 of Palestinian children
You have had the evidence
Blockading of farming equipment has prevented farmers from growing food, either to feed their families or to sell in order to earn a living
You have had the evidence
the long-term blockading building equipment essential to the rebuilding of homes destroyed by Israeli attacks has left many people homeless (even if it were true that the blockade of this equipment has been lifted - no roof available) the fact that this has been the situation for years means that this has been an ongoing situation for homeless families affected by Israel's scorched -eath policy)
You have had the evidence
The Berlin-type Wall has cut many farmers off from their land, denying them the means to make a living
You have had your evidence
Above all
No state should have the right to blockade the borders of another state and make them reliant on shipped-in goods rather than those they can produce themselves
