The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Not hamas, Gazans that have no hamas affiliation. Could they enter Egypt? Could they enter Israel? Are there any other neighboring countries? Could they get on a boat, or a plane?
While yes, some always stay behind, a great many flee. Most do not stick around. Mariupol was encircled quickly, look at the towns in Eastern Ukraine where they had a lot of warning before the enemy arrived. Jews usually fled, that's why Israel was founded in the first place, right? A place to flee to.
At any rate, in Gaza, almost nobody has fled. Some should flee, right? But they actually cannot. Physically cannot, prevented by other people.
Maybe you should do a little research about why they don't go away and why nobody from outside takes them. And yes Hamas. Hamas is the root of problems. Btw, many gaza refugees live in Europe... And they despise most people still in gaza saying "these are the people responsible for all of the deaths, its not Israel shooting civilians left and right, its not Israelis going into "Palestine" with the IDF and spitting on dead people or killing them" this is a direct quote from one of the people i work with, he is a refuge from gaza, and he said that going out is not hard (was, currently it definitely is) and that they are allowed to leave into Israel when they want to move away.
Most don't want to go, it would be admitting defeat after almost 70 years of trying to get rid of Israel.
Shure Israel is blocking the entrys and exits now and was strictly regulating before. Iran already sends hamas weapons through tunnels, don't need the terrorists to leave and regroup outside of gaza for a attack on Israel. Don't need more Iranian weapons in Gaza, especially not even more Rockets.
You people argue that Israel should let a region with majority support for a terrorist organization, especially their genocide attacks, do whatever they want.

The insanity is beyond reason.
I'm sorry for upsetting you, but don't put words in my mouth. I'm not arguing to let Gazans "do whatever they want", I have not said that or anything similar. If you remember, I said earlier that terrorists need to be dealt with, right?
It's those innocents, those that are not part of hamas, that's the sticking point. For whatever good or bad reasons they cannot leave, the fact is that today, they 100% cannot leave. So, they should not be callously butchered and/or starved simply because of what their fathers and neighbors have done.
Yes but they aren't being starved on purpose, Israel isn't targeting the civilians, that would be super counterproductive for them as more people would join the terrorists. Also Israel, contrary to popular belief does not have enough material to waste it on civilians. They fight a four front war against the Palestinian terrorists, the ones from Lebanon(hezbolla), the ones from the Egyptian border (hezbolla) and whatever Iran is currently plotting.
There is food getting into Gaza, its not enough for everyone, hut they try. They have to keep themselves save first however, you can't help anyone when you are dead. Nato is even airlifting supplys into Gaza where its not possible to get trucks with food.
The narrative being pushed by hamas is "Israel kills all our people with bombs and starves the children" this is textbook recruitment propaganda. They celebrate every single dead jew btw.
Yes, hamas is not good people, I do not trust them. I don't trust politicians either though, especially the more extreme ones.
That's why I say what sort of people the Israelis are remains to be seen. We don't know yet. We won't know until this is all over and we see what has become of those Gazans that are innocent. Will they be alive or dead? That will be telling.
Well, most are alive, most dead are terrorists or where used by them as human shields.
I do trust politicians waaaay more than terrorists. Even the extreme ones. Because they can be hold accountable. Terrorists are by definition illegal by Geneva conventions. Especially because they do target civilians.
A politician loyal to his own laws and courts, sure, I absolutely trust them more. They're aren't all, though. Ultimately a terrorist and a politician with no regard for their own law are very similar. Power-mad. A terrorist can even become a politician, it happens sometimes.
