If it was any other country your argument would be substantive. But we are talking about Israel and Palestine. Anyone who leaves will not be able to return. That's how it's always been. And for the Palestinians, their land is their existence. They will not give it up. They know the second they leave, it's been lost.

And I said fine let those who want to stay do just that. But people who want to leave have a right to be able to do so.

My only argument is that people who want to leave should be able to. These nutjob radicals in here are literally downvoting opening a corridor for refugees who DO want to leave to be free of a warzone.

It's insane how fucked that is, that anyone would even argue against giving them the option. And it makes their motives highly dubious and likely their arguments disingenuous and politically motivated.

Funny thing - Israel did exactly what you're suggesting. They told Gazans to flee to Egypt via the Rafah Crossing, then Israel bombed the Rafah Crossing.

Uhm, in the article you linked there is only Hamas claiming there were bombings on Rafah Crossing. It doesn't have any proof or source that is showing the bombings did indeed happen.
