HAMAS has been bombing and attacking Israeli civilians for decades. Israel is in a state of constant siege. This idea that Israel has Palestinians in a "concentration camp" is completely false. Israel's borders are secured against constant terrorist attacks. Plenty of Palestinians with work visas walk back and forth between Israel and Gaza, but Israel can't maintain an open border with Gaza because of the terrorist attacks, which have been going on for decades. There is also a border between Gaza and Egypt (which Egypt is now closing).

The Palestinian people have a lot of problems, but they are not being "interred" by Israel in an "open air camp." That is false. It is false propaganda perpetrated by HAMAS and their enablers.
