Support our work: https://democracynow.org/donate/sm-de... Israeli forces have abducted over 500 peace activists over the past week who were sailing to Gaza in an effort to deliver humanitarian aid to the besieged territory. Organizers of the Global Sumud Flotilla say most of the participants were sent to Ktzi'ot Prison, notorious for harsh and abusive conditions. Some have reported physical abuse, humiliation and inhumane treatment by Israeli soldiers. Jewish American activist David Adler, co-general coordinator of the Progressive International, says he faced additional abuse because of his background.
