How do you figure? Ist his because of the seemingly randomness acceptable food list? Put it this way, they tried to smuggle in weapons, so Israeli created a list of what is allowed. They made the list short and easy, so that it is enforceable and easily monitored. No grey areas. Also, as long as the people support Hamas, they should expect a long, not enjoyable and rather unpleasent blockade. In fact, the blockade still provides for health care, education and other items, things that any other group launching rockets would not enjoy.
