The Israeli producers and farmers who have lobbied successfully to have their goods be allowed through the blockade? The intermediaries in Israel, since everything that goes into gaza from other countries has to be imported into Israel, and then re exported into Gaza? The people in gaza who handle the contraband?
This has been discussed in this thread already.
