If Gaza is an "open air prison", then Hamas is the Jailer

If Gaza is an "open air prison", then Hamas is the jailer. 

According to international aid organizations,  in 2018 there were 60,907 departures from the Gaza Strip to Egypt via the Rafah crossing, with only 37,075 returning. 

The favorite destinations of those leaving Gaza are Turkey, Germany and Sweden.   Those leaving Gaza were mostly young, affluent and with university degrees.  The cost of traveling from Gaza to Turkey has been estimated at $4.000.  It is estimated that 150 medical doctors left the strip.  The Hamas government now forbids doctors to leave the Gaza Strip.

    The people who would call gaza an open air prison are usually the same kind of idiots (AOC) who would compare the internment camps on the southern boarder with nazi style concentration camps.
