Thanks Scottie,
War is war and I've never heard of a war zone which can guarantee the safety of civilians if they stay. Ukraine are suffering too remember because they chose to stay, and in most cases fight. No doubt Israel hates Hamas, you would too if they did that to your children, sisters and mothers. Hamas, The PLO and all other iterations equally hate Jews, and have their own good reasons. This hate is nothing new, it goes back thousands of years and plenty of atrocious words have been thrown around by all of them. They all blame each other for the death of Christ and it's even written about in the Quron, 4th chapter.
My point is still valid, however. $10,000 USD gets a Hamas supporter out of Gaza and on their merry way to populate Australia. Further, Egypt controls the Rafah border and has done so from the beginning of this. They even closed the Suez canal at one time during the 2nd or 3rd Arab War. It's their border, and Israel does not control Egypt, they've fought wars against each other, most recently the 6 Day War when
EGYPT occupied and controlled Palestine. This is also known as the 3rd War between each of them.
In fact Egypt's occupation of Gaza dates back further and their control of the region was equally appalling as was Israel's before the LEFT 19 years ago in 2005.
Prior to that................
"The Gaza Strip was under Egyptian military rule from 1949 to 1956 and again from 1957 to 1967. From the beginning, the area's chief economic and social problem was the presence of large numbers of Palestinian Arab refugees living in extreme poverty in squalid camps".
