Detention and Dehumanization on the High Seas The latest flotilla attempting to breach Israel's blockade of Gaza has exposed the harsh treatment meted out to those challenging the status quo in this troubled region.
French activists, recently returned from their ordeal, describe a system of systemic violence, humiliation, and dehumanization perpetrated by Israeli forces.
Their testimonies are graphic in detail and disturbing in implication. Activists were held in pitch black containers where they were groped, slapped, and subjected to stun weapons.
