The re-writing of the Gazan withdrawal by Israelis into some magnanimous gesture to "test" the Palestinians (which they *failed*) is baloney.

Israel only controls their border with the Gaza. Egypt has control over the other border. The only involvement in Gaza that Israel maintains is over the airspace and the sea blockade. There is no airport in Gaza, so it's just the sea blockade. Israel has zero control over day to day lives in Gaza or the border with Egypt.
