Egypt could open their gates if they wanted to.

So Israel can displace the whole population of Palestine? That's genocide. You're pro genocide.

First, I’m not pro anything. I didn’t say anyone should do something. I said there are other parties who could do something.

Second, displacement isn’t genocide by any definition I’ve heard. And again, to be extra explicit, I’m not saying they should be displaced, or that it would be right to displace anyone.

But you can’t call it an open air prison and then call me a genocide supporter when I point out there’s another door to the “prison”?

Oh, okay. The displacement part is just a crime against humanity according to UN definition, the rest of the genocide is covered by "Killing members of the group; Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group"
