    One does not declare war on a military occupation. You are already at war. Israel has been the occupying power for the past 50 years.

        Gaza has been under blockade since 2006. If gaza was a state then they would have been at war since 2006 because a blockade is an act of war.

          So is launching rockets at civilians, which is what prompted the blockade

        Gaza is under Israeli control even though Israel does not have any soldiers there. Under the Geneva Conventions, Israel is the occupying power. This is recognised by most governments in the world, the UN and all human rights organisations.

        It has been economically blockaded since then and has been regularly attacked by Israel.

          Because they keep attacking Israel, yeah, that’s why there’s been a blockade.
