You can't possibly not see the distinction between Canada's sovereignty and Gaza's "sovereignty". Canada decides who and what enters and leaves its borders. Gaza does not. This is simple stuff.

Yup and if Israel were the ones to start a conflict and civilians die as a result of the combatants being targeted they would hold responsibility. Crazy how that works right? The difference is Israel doesnt target civilians and Hamas primarility targets civilians.
Interesting. So, in your view, if Israel triggered the broader Gaza-Israel conflict by, say, expelling or otherwise forcing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to flee their homes in Israel and settle in the Gaza strip, Israel is responsible for all of the civilian and combatant Israeli deaths (and injuries) that have followed?
(NOTE: I don't take this position at all, as it is hopelessly simplistic. I'm just trying to clarify your position).
