Afaik, the borders were open and people commuted to work from the West Bank/Gaza and there were purchasing trips between the areas. That ended with the second Intifada, to protect Israeli civilians from organized attacks.

This closing of the borders created a minor depression in Israel. Not something you do for fun.

The point is, if you start murdering civilians in an organized fashion it is a bit strange to claim victim status from a much milder response. E.g. when Hamas fired (at civilians!) from civilian areas -- and then complain about the return fire killing civilians!

Please, no simplified propaganda on HN.
