I am on a short vacation this week, in Canada. I happened to see this story on TV about a Canadian citizen who managed to get out of Gaza.
The editing is strange. At about 1:25 he says he took a taxi to Salah al Din Street, which is the main north-south corridor to walk south. Then there is an edit at 1:33, and he says that he had to hold his passport in the air, couldn't look right or left, and if he did "they" would shoot him.
Who? The implication is the IDF.
Most Gazans don't have passports, and certainly not most of those walking on Salah al-Din Street. We've seen video of Gazans fleeing south, while some had white flags none looked like this.
He must have been describing the line to get on buses to Egypt, which was only open to foreign passport holders. So if the story is true, it is either Hamas or Egyptians who were threatening to shoot him.
Of course, no one bothers to ask him to clarify why his allies are threatening to shoot him.
