WTF are you talking about? Most of Gaza is refugees and refugee-descendants who had their land stolen from them. Their homeland is on the other side of the wall. They were forced into this prison.

Egypt isn't a friendly country since the coup. They can't fly out since Israel destroyed their airport 20 years ago. They can't leave via boat since there is a naval blockade by Israel. And getting to the Rafah Crossing is easier said than done even if it was open. Israel just bombed a convoy of ambulances heading there the other day and routinely targets roads and highways that lead there.

As for the West Bank, what does that have to do with anything? Why are you even bringing those who live there up?
