It was blockaded by Israel from the land and sea leaving it with little economic choices other than to become a hotbed of terrorism." - Despite Israel's goodwill gesture dismantling settlements and withdrawing in 2005, Hamas didn't reciprocate the goodwill gesture; Hamas ramped up attacks, so Israel justifiably ramped up blockades to defend itself.
