"Since when does "independent contact with the outside world" = "..how freely they can leave and come back to the area"?
And you accuse me of a "distraction". You are the master of distraction."
"Independent contact" comes in many forms. I don't doubt they could make a phone call, write a letter, speak to a journalist. But, there again, the Yorkshire Ripper was allowed to write letters. Nonetheless, regardless of ambiguity, how about you address the point that if Israel was encircled from today for the next 80 years, and subject to the same restrictions as Palestinians, you'd consider it more acceptable than a circumstance in which they were "herded in there" in the first place?
