    The fact that Israel’s actions are despicable doesn’t mean you have to defend Hamas.
    They’re literally walking over Palestinian children’s corpses to stay in power.

        Also, seriously?

        Source saying that Israel controls whether they stay or leave?

        How exactly do you think borders work?

          Has Israel stated they would not let refugees leave? Say Egypt unilaterally opens the Rafah crossing, Israel would stop them from leaving?

              Because then it’s unsourced opinion/speculation. Bickering between Egypt and Israel aside, if Egypt unilaterally opened their side of the Rafah crossing, Israel has said they would not let refugees leave?

                Again, they don’t need to say it.

                They’re still stationed at the border between Gaza and Egypt. They could walk away and leave it up to Egypt.

                They aren’t.

                Because they don’t want anyone to leave.

                Actions speak louder than words.

                  You stating it doesn’t make it true, that’s where evidence comes in. I can state that Egypt’s actions demonstrate the same, they could just walk away. And with just as much evidence as you provided.

                  I understand this is your personal opinion, and that there is no evidence supporting your claims of Israel’s intentions to not let refugees leave, even to Egypt. I won’t be continuing this discussion with you.

                    It’s not an opinion. It’s a fact. Israeli troops are stationed at the border between Gaza (not their country) and Egypt.

                    They do not have to be there. Again, not their country.
