The blockade of Gaza began when the Arabs started to fire rockets into Israel. So Israel decided that if the people of Gaza were going to be at war with Israel, People cannot go in or out. The blockade of Gaza is just that Israel doesn't allow people in or out, they alow food, medical supplies and everything else other than arms.

What does Zionism have to do with the current state of affairs in the Gaza strip?
In a very distant way, Zionism is responsible for the existence of Israel. Without Israel, there would be a unitary Arab State in Palestine and therefore no blockade problem in Gaza. However, Zionism has no direct connection to the blockade of the Gaza Strip.

What exactly are all the effects of the Gaza strip blockade?
It would be impossible to capture all of the effects of the Gaza Strip Blockade, but here are some of the major effects of the Gaza Strip Blockade. 1) Lack of Food: The Gazans claim that insufficient quantities of food come into Gaza across the land borders. Also, as objects like fertilizer can be used to make bombs and incendiary devices, Israel strongly limits their importation making Gazan agriculture relatively futile. 2) Lack of Power: Gaza has no power plants (of any sufficient size) and relies on Israel for nearly 80% of its energy. Israel only provides what it believes is necessary to power Gaza and Gazans complain that this quantity is insufficient. 3) Lack of Medical Access: In the past, many Palestinians were serviced in Israeli hospitals and numerous Palestinian Doctors were employed in Israel. The reason was twofold, Palestinian organizations had other ways they preferred to spend their budgets and Israel tried to save civilians who needed it in Palestine. However, due to the blockade, the border crossings do not allow for any but the most dire cases to come to Israel. Israel does provide medical supplies to Gaza, but there is a lack of proper hospitals and good doctors to protect the entire population. 4) Lack of Building Materials: Many building materials such as cement, metals, wood, and chemicals are the exact same ingredients used to make bombs and rockets. Therefore Israel strongly limits the amounts of these materials which are brought into Gaza. 5) Physical Isolation: Gazans, except under certain circumstances, can almost never leave Gaza and non-Gazans have a very hard time entering the area.

Why does Israel want to make life hard for Gaza?
The way this question is phrased, it would seem that Israelis take some kind of perverse pleasure in seeing Gazans starve. Israelis take no joy in this. To them, the Blockade on Gaza is an issue of security. Israelis believe, like most people, that they have the right to live in their country without fear of being attacked by rockets overhead. Unfortunately, the Hamas government in Gaza actively condones this violent activity. Even with the blockade a small number of rockets still arrive daily and used against Israeli citizens. The Israeli government also sends in supervised shipments of food and electricity to Gaza precisely to prevent the absolute starvation of Gazans. However, providing the Gazan people with excess materials or loosening the blockade has been shown in the past to strengthen the militant activities of Hamas and allow for greater acquisition of smuggled weapons. The only position that Israel has is to contain the situation and hope for change.
