Hi everyone,
I would like to know when the Israeli blockade of Gaza started. Did it start when Israel accused Hamas of firing rockets into Israel, or did it start when Hamas assumed control over Gaza?

It began when Hamas won the election in 2006 and it tightened up the next year when Hamas put down Fatah attempts (encouraged and funded by the U.S.) to destabilize the Hamas government.
There's a good FAQ at the Financial Times on the blockade here:
