None of this constitutes border expansion. As for blatant ignorance, please check the reasons for the "blockade", for the wall (which is nothing like Berlin), and even for the very existence of the "West Bank" entity.
“Border expansion” needs a really convenient definition for this to make sense. With the same logic USA is ceding territory any time they recognize a new Indian tribe with a new reservation, while also not gaining new territory when they partition up other reservations and move settlers into it, nor when they open up new military bases in foreign countries.
As for the Berlin wall, I only used it for dramatic effect, to convey how serious the blockade is. Also why did you put “blockade” in quotes? Are you under the impression that Israel is not imposing a “blockade” on Gaza?
But you got me. You are better at debating than me. Congratulations.
