[CAMERA] Two countries border the Gaza Strip - Israel and Egypt. Both strictly limit the passage of goods and people into and out of the Strip. But when describing the effect of these border restrictions, some journalists inaccurately and unfairly attribute responsibility to only one of the countries - Israel. Except for humanitarian cases, Israel has mostly closed its own border with Gaza to human traffic after repeated attacks from that territory (including attacks targeting crossing points) and after an organization sworn to Israel's destruction took control of Gaza. But an essential component of the current situation is Egypt's closure of the Rafah crossing point between Egypt and Gaza. The occasional bilateral opening of the crossing by Egypt and Hamas shows who exercises control of this passage into and out of Gaza. It is not too late for the media to fulfill their professional responsibilities; that means correcting misrepresentations of the so-called Gaza "blockade." 2008-10-24 01:00:00Full Article
