Blockades are usually enforced by shooting at violating ships. And "shooting at more civilians isn't the way to do it" then what is? Because there's no world where "Just shut up and watch genocide happen" is the right answer.

What? Shooting civilians is never the answer. Did you really just advocate for that???

2 wrongs don't make a right.

A blockade is an act of war. A blockade of the suez canal is an act of war against the 90% of the planet.

They're only blockading ships that are going to dock in Israel, are owned by Israelis or are flying the Israeli flag. It's more targeted than just "we're shooting rockets at any ship that passes".
