The war crime apologist's excuse for the continued medieval siege on Gaza and the collective punishment of 1.5 million people, a majority of whom are children and therefore DID NOT vote for Hamas or anyone else, is that Hamas – AKA The Bogeyman – is hell bent on the destruction of Israel. Therefore, Israel must reserve the right to wall them up, kill them (and anyone who tries to help them) and to deny them even the most basic human rights such as freedom of movement, freedom of travel and freedom to earn a living.
There is no Hamas in The West Bank yet:
There are 630 roadblocks in The West Bank.
The annexation wall will, when finished, be 730 Km long around the West Bank. 99% of the annexation wall has been constructed inside the West Bank, further confiscating Palestinian land.
65% of the main roads that lead to eighteen Palestinian communities in the West Bank are closed or fully controlled by the Israeli Occupation Force.
500 Kms of roads in the West Bank are restricted.
One third of the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem, is inaccessible to Palestinains without a permit issued by the Israel Occupation Force.
There are illegal settlements.
So what’s the excuse for this?
There ‘aint no Hamas in the West Bank.
