In the face of continuing mass protests by Palestinian prisoners, and their non co-operation even when on hunger strike, Israel authorities are resorting to ever more brutal tactics. The Israeli government now is proposing that Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike be force fed, a move that many Israeli doctors are labelling as torture. In the meantime, an international navel flotilla will later this month try to bring humanitarian supplies to the people of Gaza. The Gaza flotilla of 2010 was met with deadly force by the Israeli military.
