Antisemite Greta Berlin doesn't want Gazans to leave Gaza - unless they are her friends

Greta Berlin, the anti-Israel activist who co-founded the "Free Gaza" movement in 2006, was interviewed by the Tehran Times in December where shared some antisemitic tropes like this one:

The West has three major reasons for supporting Israel’s genocide against the indigenous Christian and Muslim Palestinians. [The first is ] Zionist money, blackmail and bribery that influences much of the West.
She also highlighted her idea of Israel's goals in the war:
The Israelis want all of Palestine with no Palestinians in it, and their current leaders are blatantly saying that Palestinians in Gaza should be shoved into Egypt and live in tent cities. That is their intent. 
So naturally she, like all anti-Israel activists, want Palestinians to stay "steadfast" in Gaza to frustrate Israel's nefarious plans of grabbing Gaza beachfront and gas fields and to build an alternative to the Suez Canal* (yes, she really says this is why Israel is fighting in Gaza.)  

But when it comes to her own friends in Gaza, she is raising money to get them out!
My name is Greta Berlin, and I'm the co-founder of the Free Gaza movement, the boats to Gaza. I'm here to raise money for a family, Allam, Rania, and their 2-year-old daughter, because I've worked with Allam for years since I was his mentor with We Are Not Numbers. I've watched him grow into an amazing young man, marry the woman he deeply loves, and was thrilled when their daughter was born. Now, as another war rages on, Mais and her family desperately need your help to escape the devastation and build a future.
She is the only "pro-Palestinian" activist I've seen actively raising money for Gazans to escape. But not just any Gazan - only the ones she knows should have the chance to save their lives by going to Egypt. The rest of them, presumably, are traitors to the cause if they want to leave.

Berlin is the exception that proves the rule: "pro-Palestinian activists" don't give a damn about actual Gazans' lives.

* It turns out that anti-Israel propagandists have been spreading the rumor that Israel's invasion is to help facilitate the "Ben Gurion Canal," a fanciful  and prhibitively expensive idea from the 1960s for an alternative to the Suez Canal, going from Eilat through the Negev to north of Gaza. There isn't a shred of evidence that Israel still wants to do this - there is always discussion of smaller plans to bring water from the Mediterranean to the Dead Sea,. and of a pipeline to pump crude oil from Eilat to the Mediterranean and save time for oil tankers too large for the Suez Canal to go around Africa. But anything about a canal is simply fantasy to support antisemitic conspiracy theories.
