The Israeli government is attempting to block around 670 in Gaza in an attempt to stop them studying abroad in other countries. The Israeli government is denying the exit permits that will allow for these students to study abroad in such countries as Egypt, Jordan, Germany Britain, and the united states. The students are among 6,700 people who have been trapped in Gaza since Hamas to control of the area in June. Israel has complete control of the borders surrounding Gaza, and has only allowed a few journalist, employees of multi national corporations and medical aid to enter and exit Gaza since Hamas to control of the area. As a rule the Israeli does not allow students in Gaza to study in Israel. This is a problem because of the fact that the universities in Gaza do not offer degrees in a variety of subjects.
I feel that this act by the Israeli government is completely unjust and disgraceful. They have occupied Gaza for some 60 years and now are not allowing for the people of gaza to gain education.
