It takes some real unique ability to look at Gaza's map and missing the fact that it has a very long border with ... Egypt.
So even if Gaza is an "open air prison" there is more than one guard to it.
The Gaza strip cannot be accessed by air or sea either.

No, I am not. I am describing that wall.
> Goods can (and do) enter from there.
No, they don't. Only people are allowed through the Gaza/Egypt border (controlled by the EU).
Though I think your data is not up to date the important fact remains the same: Israel does not control that border. Talking about the embrago and selectivly only mentioning Israel is a curious thing and to me it seems biased against that non-EU non-muslim state.
The Gaza/Egypt border only allows people, not goods. Goods need to go through Israel/Gaza borders.
If you disagree with this, go talk to the administrators of those borders or modify the treaties that govern them.
If goods could freely pass back and forth there wouldn't be so many tunnels.
I'm not arguing that goods are currently flowing from Egypt. I'm saying that they could if Egypt and the EU would want them to. So the original comment you responded to was correct in wondering why Egypt is not being mentioned.

Gaza was part of Turkey (Ottoman) and was a part of Britain and was a part of Egypt and was a part of Israel and it is an independent region since 2005.
It's more like Belgium in your France Germany analogy. France has no control over the Belgium-German border.
