Good morning, Netizens...

Here is a brief update with regard to the people trapped in Gaza City where Israeli forces are refusing to allow protestors to leave Palestinian territory peacefully.

Dr. Bill Dienst, an emergency room physician in Washington, went to Gaza on one of the boats that broke the Israeli siege of Gaza last month, and is likewise trapped and being held hostage.

One must simply ask, why are the Israeli forces holding these peaceful protesters captive? What do they stand to gain from this?
