When the “Free Gaza” farce unfolded last week, a few of the members stayed behind. But they didn’t plan to stay quite this long.
On Sunday, some of them tried to enter Israel via the Erez crossing, claiming that they needed to accompany the many sick patients who do leave Gaza to be treated in Israel. They were denied.
So they decided to try to leave to Egypt via Rafah, along with the thousands of people who crossed over the past two days. They were denied.
It is curious why the people who wanted to show their support for Gazans are so eager to get out of there. Fortunately, they might have the opportunity to spend weeks or maybe even years to get much friendlier with the locals as their official pleas to leave Gaza are ignored.
So it’s really a win-win.
