A good chunk of that is simply not true. The blockade existed prior to 2007 (in fact, under international law, there's little distinction between the official occupation that ended in 2005 and the de facto occupation thereafter) and Israel damn well does indiscriminately shoot at schools, mosques, and hospitals— they just declare them "military targets" first and pretend that somehow changes anything.

If Gaza unilaterally disarmed, they'd end up like the West Bank— natives living in fear of encroaching Israeli "settlers," second-class citizens in an apartheid state behind a wall.

And claiming Gaza is at fault for being deliberately impoverished by Israel is both disgusting victim-blaming and a basic failure of causality— Gaza only considered electing Hamas because Hamas was the only entity providing the vital services that Israel was cutting off.
