Notice the below snippet from the article. Hamas doesn't really have strong support in Gaza, yet the entire region has been made into a prison by the Israeli and Egyptian blockade. That violates one of the core principles of international law, that it's wrong to collectively punish a population for the acts of a few (in this case Hamas)Hamas took over full control by force three years ago, a year after it won an election...In fact, there is a paradox at work in Gaza: while Hamas has no competition for power, it also has a surprisingly small following.
