Well you are totally wrong.
Blockades of civilian commerce are illegal according to the Geneva Conventions.
All you can do is interdict weapons and war material, not food or medicine.
And there is no evidence that Israel is even remotely protecting itself, but instead trying to starve the people of Gaza.

How is Israel better than the Somali pirates?
