A girl I know (Jewish) told me about the time she and her boyfriend visited Gaza like it was a trip to the zoo (her words). To her it was so strange how she could come and go as she wished, but they couldn't leave, ever.
Think about that for a moment. What would you call such a place? How would you feel being born on the wrong side of the fence?
Who told you they couldn't leave? 40,000 people came and went every month.
She did, they needed a permit (work for example) and not everyone was able to get one. I don't have any numbers but they did not have the same rights as she and her boyfriend did. Foreign nationals might've had an easier time crossing.
