To achieve any sort of lasting peace, both sides are going to have to make some major concessions, and with the Israeli elections coming up I don't see it happening. I hope I'm wrong.

How about when the location of rockets has particularly been chosen because of it's proximity to a school or hospital? Who is to blame for the destruction of the school, the side that takes it out or the side that deliberately used it as a shield?
I think there's been so much spin about the blockade that I can't respond to it with any accuracy. Israel claims they let "basic necessities" through. Hamas claims otherwise.
I would find a US blockade of Canada strange certainly, but if a bunch of terrorist attacks out of that area were focused on the US, and food and humanitarian aid were getting in, it still wouldn't justify rocket attacks and I'd expect the US government to do whatever it took to make the US safe.
