    No. Israel pulled its settlements out of Gaza but they land and sea blockaded it since 2007 and turned it into an open air prison and kept bombing it. Israel controls all the borders, including the Egypt crossings due to their treaty with Egypt that allows them veto power over who can cross from Egypt.

    Egypt is a dictatorship that mistreats minorities, if you want to compare Israel favorably to them then be my guest.

      It literally cannot control the Egypt border considering the fact they are not in. If Gaza had normal relationship with Egypt, maybe we could start believing Israel is the problem here but if none of Gaza’s neighbors/any other Muslim countries are willing to take Gazans in, the problem must be somewhere else than in Israel.

      Edit: Before 7th of October, there were more people of Gaza coming to Israel on daily bases rather than to Egypt. Why are we blaming israel of “occupation” and not Egypt?
