People who live in Gaza do not have freedom of movement. They can't just leave, they need permission from Israel to do so.

The Egyptian border has been open for decades (with intermittent closures, such as right now). They do not require permission from Israel to leave. I encourage you to read up about this on Wikipedia, and review the geography on Google Maps.

According to this clown... Israel didn't do nothing and Palestinians doing this to themselves but if Israel did do anything, palestinians deserved it

🤡

One more time in English please :)

You made two factually incorrect assertion in this thread alone...

I hope you are at least getting laid for this lol

That is just not true, I encourage you to read about it on Wikipedia. The Egyptian border has also been blockaded since 2007.

At least you could read the source you cite.

Facing mounting international calls to ease or lift their blockade in response to the Gaza flotilla raid, Egypt and Israel lessened the restrictions starting in June 2010. Israel announced that it will allow all strictly civilian goods into Gaza while preventing weapons and what it designates as "dual-use" items from entering Gaza.[100] Egypt partly opened the Rafah border crossing from Egypt to Gaza, primarily for people, but not for supplies, to go through.

Additionally, any Gazan my leave by ship at any time.
