JUST A QUICK NOTE ON THE SITUATION IN GAZA
To paraphrase; People who don't remember their history are doomed to repeat it.
I have seen on several threads suggestions that if the Gazans wish to spare their children from the Israeli Bombing they should flee to Egypt. Simple question if this was done and the conflict came to an end would the Israelis allow them to return to Gaza or would they become permanent refugees like the 700,000 Palestinians who were ethnically cleansed in 48 and 49
I believe that could be part of the evac agreement between Israel and Egypt but we could use a much more recent example. When thousands of Gazans fled to Egypt during the last Hamas-Israeli clash it was Hamas which refused to allow them back into the Strip, despite repeated requests by Egypt and Israel, going so far as to threaten to attack them if they tried to return. You see, even those Hamas is sworn to protect and defend are nothing but cannon fodder in Hamas's war against the Jews.
Israel and Egypt
During the Battle of Gaza, 6,000 Palestinians took refuge from the fighting across the Egyptian border. They were stranded on the Egyptian side of Rafah after Hamas took power and were prevented by Hamas from returning to the Gaza Strip. Israeli and Egyptian diplomats tried to convince Hamas to allow these Palestinians to peacefully use the Kerem Shalom crossing to return home. However, on 5 July 2007, according to Israeli officials, Hamas refused to allow the crossing to be used and threatened to attack the crossing with mortars and gunfire, even at the cost of killing thousands of Palestinians
