The blockade is to stop Iran from delivering missiles to Hamas. The stated goal of Hamas is the elimination of Israel. Not peace. Not a two State solution. The complete and utter destruction of Israel. Israel either defends itself or ceases to exist.
How can you even say this with a straight face? Even when Palestinians/HAMAS/whoever had rockets, the Israelis were still stomping them into the dust, with American made choppers, missiles and drones.
Israel's no-compromise attitude to aid convoys could be tested again after two Lebanese organisations pledged to send boats to Gaza in the next few days. Reporters Without Borders is attempting to assemble 25 European activists and 50 journalists for a boat leaving Beirut. The Free Palestine Movement is planning a similar attempt.
George Galloway, the founder of Viva Palestina, announced in London that two simultaneous convoys "one by land via Egypt and the other by sea" would set out in September to break the Gaza blockade. The sea convoy of up to 60 ships will travel around the Mediterranean gathering ships, cargo and volunteers.

i read from the israeli camp is they are being attacked by 4000 misiles
when did Hamas even get hold of missiles?
seriously show me their missiles?

I don't know what to say to a person who denies Hamas launched those missiles. How do you respond to fabrications and propagandists who rewrite history to their own design.
Are you also in the Holocaust never happened camp?
Since you are unable to have a civil debate without resorting to a personal attack, lets just agree to disagree and leave it there. It's that exact attitude that keeps these conflicts going.

Hamas later publicly offered a long-term hudna with Israel if Israel agreed to return to its 1967 borders and to grant the "right of return" to all Palestinian refugees. Israel has not responded to the offer.[40][41] In November, 2008 Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh, de jure Prime Minister of the Palestinian Authority and de facto prime minister in Gaza, stated that Hamas was willing to accept a Palestinian state within the 1949 armistice lines, and offered Israel "a long-term hudna, or truce, if Israel recognized the Palestinians' national rights."
Israel rejects the truce offers that Hamas has made, due to doubt of the likelihood of a truce with Hamas holding.
