What poll, it was decided by the UN, look it up!
No you look it up, you are the one claiming certain facts.
A unanimous decision of the UN Security Council is not really the same as a vote by the nations in the world. The 5 bigwigs are [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]

In customary international practice, a blockade stops all shipments into the blockaded area, and is considered an act of war. Quarantines are more selective, as, in this case, being limited to offensive weapons. While the original
U.S. Navy paper did use the term "blockade,"
This initially was to involve a naval blockade against offensive weapons within the framework of the
Organization of American States and the
Rio Treaty. Such a blockade might be expanded to cover all types of goods and air transport. The action was to be backed up by surveillance of Cuba. The CNO's scenario was followed closely in later implementing the quarantine.
Kennedy made an address to the Nation in which he said "To halt this offensive buildup, a strict quarantine on all offensive military equipment under shipment to Cuba is being initiated."
"1962 Year In Review: Cuban Missile Crisis"
Admiral Anderson's paper, by differentiating between the quarantine of offensive weapons and all materials, indicated that a classic blockade was not the original intention. Since it would take place in international waters, President Kennedy obtained the approval of the OAS for military action under the hemispheric defense provisions of the
Inter-American Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance (i.e., the Rio Treaty).
Latin American participation in the quarantine now involved two Argentine destroyers which were to report to the U.S. Commander South Atlantic [COMSOLANT] at Trinidad on 9 November. An Argentine submarine and a Marine battalion with lift were available if required. In addition, two Venezuelan destroyers and one submarine had reported to COMSOLANT, ready for sea by November 2. The Government of Trinidad and Tobago offered the use of
Chaguaramas Naval Base to warships of any OAS nation for the duration of the quarantine. The Dominican Republic had made available one escort ship. Colombia was reported ready to furnish units and had sent military officers to the U.S. to discuss this assistance. The Argentine Air Force informally offered three SA-16 aircraft in addition to forces already committed to the quarantine operation.

President Kennedy signs the Proclamation for Interdiction of the Delivery of Offensive Weapons to Cuba at the
Oval Office on October 23, 1962.
At 7 p.m., on 22 October, President Kennedy delivered a televised radio address announcing the discovery of the missiles. As part of the context of the speech a directive went out to all US forces worldwide placing them on
DEFCON 3. The world wide US Forces DEFCON 3 status was returned to DEFCON 4 on 20 November 1962.

Doesn't matter, rights of passive passage means any ship.
I won't argue the point although one article I have read point to the military ships and the ones carrying military supplies. If Canada is being threatened with war by the US I think we have the right to close the NWPassage to American war ships.
Using your argument all ships wanting to stop at Gaza have the right to, be it a cargo of war machines of a tanker coming for olive oil both have the right of passage and Israel's blockade of that shore is an act of war because it is a complete ban on all goods, not just military goods.
This has been proven erroneous time and time again.
No so, nobody has lost their head over it is all that it means.
2007–2010 blockade of the Gaza Strip

Siege of Gaza.

has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. Discussion of this nomination can be found on the
talk page.
(July 2009) The 2007
Siege or
Blockade of Gaza started in
June 2007 when
Israel imposed a
blockade on
Gaza. This was supported by the governments of
Egypt and the
USA, among other nations.
[1][2][3][4] The blockade consists of a land blockade along Gaza's borders with Egypt and Israel and a sea blockade maintained by the
Israeli navy from three
nautical miles offshore. It immediately followed the
2006-2007 economic sanctions against the Palestinian National Authority following the election of
Hamas to the Palestinian government.
The blockade is controversial and has attracted criticism from many
human rights organisations. US President
Barack Obama has called for the blockade to be lifted, saying that if the blockade is too tight to allow reconstruction it will only harm Israel's long-term security.
[5] The
Pope has expressed his opposition to the blockade, telling Gazans: "Please be assured of my solidarity with you in the immense work of rebuilding which now lies ahead and my prayers that the embargo will soon be lifted."
[6]
A September 2009
United Nations fact-finding mission found that the blockade of Gaza "amounted to collective punishment",
[7] was likely a
war crime and a
crime against humanity and recommended that the matter be referred to the
International Criminal Court.

That's why I look things up, you don't have to, you already know the facts as taught back whenever your books were published. Half of your posts would vanish if you had to support your view with some reference that is greater than 'what you know to be facts'.
What the hell are you babbling about?
Another part of our conversation, no need to explore it right now. lol
First off, I think you lack the skills to actually grow mentally, secondly, you would have to be able to do so, and use critical thought to be like me. Even then, it would mess up your ideology and you would likely not be mentally capable of handling that. So when you say "No thanks", I understand why.
You think, you think, you think, do it for eternity it will never evolve into a fact.
I only have to gather the info, lots of people have written things that are summaries of documented facts or supply a list of many references. The Israelis and Arab villages conflicts back in '47-'48 are in this list of references, so if you want to challenge the thoughts of the person who wrote 'the summary' then it is the reference material that needs to be shown as being false.

They are, it's called history, it's oft written in books one can easily acquire through a library. I've already listed several books for you to read. You answered that post, in a long forgotten thread with the BS rebuttal that everything was already on line.
New material is being uncovered every day, if that is a danger to your current way of thinking that is your problem not mine.
Incorrect, that's what is known as projection. But is was a cute attempt anyways.
Really, that is one article that covers Arab villages, a little digging could find several more 'summary articles' that would also come with a different list of references to books that are considered to contain accurate accounts of how events unfolded.
No doubt your books also have a page or so that is a list of references they use as being facts.
