Somehow that blockade haven’t stopped Hamas from getting thousands of rockets and firing them into Israeli citizens. Imagine what they could do for their own citizens if they wanted to.
Not much really. The blockade prevents a lot of basic goods from entering Gaza. Not saying Hamas is doing everything they can for their citizens, but there’s a fundamental limit on how much you can do when the people controlling your borders are letting into your borders less food than they calculated you need to not starve to death. I’m not even exaggerating; this actually happened.
Let’s imagine a world where Gaza has a open sea and air access? Do you think it would’ve changed events of October 7th? Do you think Hamas would’ve fired more or less rockets? Or maybe denounce violence?
The rockets are a direct response to the blockade so yes, very much yes. And before you say the blockade started in 2007, no it started in 2005 and was tightened in 2007.
You mean like Gaza is separated from Israel?
Gaza has also been under blockade since 2005.

Israel has full control over the airspace, seaports, and TV transmissions, in addition to imposing a blockade. Doesn’t sound like “separated” to me.

You’re either super innocent, or super brainwashed if you truly believe that open sea and air spaces for Hamas would mean less violence.
