Slightly off point, but I just turned on the news stations for the first time concerning this whole mess. On ABC? They were interviewing a Palestinian Woman from University. She said she wasn't leaving even if they did open the boarder. Someone else i know heard others say the same thing but from a young man and older people. They essentially said that of they left, they would be giving Isreal what it wanted. Flip to CNN. They have live footage of the boarder crossing. Maybe 100 people were waiting there.
Of course, any cilivians wanting out should be able to get out, and maybe it's all just propaganda, but, it seems like most all want to stay, regardless of whether the boarder opens up or not.
There's a fair chance they believe if they leave, Israel will never allow them back.
If that's true, I understand why they want to stay.
With the end goal of taking and settling that land, a mass exodus is exactly what Israel has wanted for quite some time. Palestinians are treated like squatters and are being strong armed out of their homes en masse under the threat of starvation and/or death.
The right to return is like a major demand of the Palestine movements. Of course this is something Israel is never going to willingly allow.
For one an influx of foreign moderate Palestinians bringing foreign money and foreign connections would seriously bolster the power and palatability of a Palestinian state.
