I don't care what their opinion is, Israel in fact ended the occupation of Gaza in 2005.
People are now upset about a blockade that started in 2007. Aside from ignoring the reasons for the blockade, and totally ignoring the two years between the end of the occupation and the start of the blockade, people like to pretend the blockade is an occupation because it's not very nice and they don't know how to talk about an unoccupied Gaza (or because they're just too stupid to know what's going on there).
