BTW which is it?

It's both. I believe the blockade is wrong, largely for the reasons you state. I also believe that it is justified, as Israel has a right to be secure within its own borders, and keeping weapons and the means to produce them out of Gaza is a necessary part of that. So, I support the blockade if it goes only far enough to promote Israel's internal security. If that was as far as it went, I'd be cool with it....the wrong thing, but for the right reason. In the real world, sometime that happens. That said, I think Israel is going way beyond what is needed to serve its national security interest. What it's doing with the the blockade borders on the criminal.
