Liberty is lost through complacency and a subservient mindset. When we accept or even welcome automobile checkpoints, random searches, mandatory identification cards, and paramilitary police in our streets, we have lost a vital part of our American heritage. America was born of protest, revolution, and mistrust of government. Subservient societies neither maintain nor deserve freedom for long.

Oh man!
In 1967, the Arab nations surrounding Israel ordered UN Peacekeepers to leave the border areas. They called up their armies and enforced a boycott on shipping going to Israel, which did not have a port.
What do you do? Starve to death?
Now when shipping is stopped to Gaza, everyone is so concerned. But the fact of the matter is, the Arabs started it first.

Shipping blockades are like sanctions. In 1967, commercial freight service wasn't popular. No food, no clothes, nothing without shipping in those days.
About sanctions :
Israel and the Quartet said that sanctions would be lifted only when the Palestinian government has met the following demands:
Renunciation of violence,
Recognition of Israel by the Hamas government (as the PLO had done), and
Acceptance of previous agreements between Israel and the Palestinian National Authority.
In the original 1947 UN partition plan, The UN gave about 55% of the land to about 31% of the people (the Jews), and this 31% only actually owned 6% of the land which was purchased legitimately. This is what caused the first war, because the Arabs rejected the plan.
And rightfully so. Too bad they lost.
