As if it isn't bad enough that the Israelis prevent the free movement of Palestinians - those wretched border crossings and checkpoints - and limits access to water to the Palestinians and even school books and materials to enter Gaza, now it resorts to actually expelling Palestinians, by force, to Gaza.
The Independent reports on what can only be described as appalling and disgraceful behaviour by the Israelis - and certainly not in any way reflective of the sort of country which proclaims, as a Jewish State, that it is a "light unto the Nations".
"A Palestinian student has been handcuffed, blindfolded and forcibly expelled to the Gaza Strip by Israeli troops just two months before she was due to graduate from university.
Berlanty Azzam, 21, who was studying for a business degree at Bethlehem University, said she was coming home in a shared taxi from a job interview in Ramallah on Wednesday when soldiers at the "Container" checkpoint took her identity card and that of another passenger with a Gaza address.
After six hours of waiting, soldiers told her she would be taken to a detention centre in the southern West Bank, and she was handcuffed and blindfolded, she said."
