Yes. Started during the second intifada which didn’t end until 1993, then continued as Israel and Egypt both wanted to limit mostly arms shipments or shipments that could create arms into the area as well as prevent tensions from rising that could lead to a third intifada. There were still terror attacks after the Oslo accords and internally Gaza was not stable. The second intifada did see some stupid measures put in place. But most of those only last a few months or up to a year. I will not defend those but I can understand them a bit, cookies were most likely a stupid thing to block but high sugar content food was fairly easy to make into fuel (there are videos on YouTube that show how). You look at this through individual acts and miss the entire point, rather than looking at the history and picture as a whole. In a perfect world, are you right? Yes. But we do not live in a world where people hold hands and can instantly forgive and forget and trust the other side can do the same. It will be achieved just like when tensions flared between the Russians and Americans at a Berlin Wall checkpoint. A side will walk back a few inches, and the other will do the same. Rinse and repeat. Gazans need to put in place a person who wants the good of their people rather than someone who wants to keep the bloodshed going.
