Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists gathered in the main hall of Amsterdam Central Station at rush hour on Nov. 7 for a sit-in protest and called for a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The assumption that the existence or non-existence of Hamas has any effect on Israeli treatment of Palestinians is very naive.
The blockade didn’t happen until Hamas was elected, the treatment of Gaza was obviously different before Hamas launched this attack. It is plainly obvious that Hamas had an effect on Israeli treatment of Palestinians, especially ones under their government.

It was an occupation before it became a blockade just in case you weren’t aware.
Right. Israel unilaterally left and disbanded all settlements in Gaza, then Gaza elected Hamas, then blockade.
Uh… No. After the disengagement they immediately (three months before the voting) blockaded Gaza.
