Punished by Israel and the Quartet of international powers for the democratic election of Hamas, Gaza has been transformed into the world's largest open-air prison. From Gazan families struggling to cope with the random violence of Israel's blockade and its \"targeted\" assassinations, to the machinations of legal experts and the continued connivance of the international community, every aspect of this ongoing tragedy is eloquently recorded and forensically analyzed. Levy's powerful journalism shows how the brutality at the heart of Israel's occupation of Palestine has found its most complete expression to date in the collective punishment of Gaza's residents.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDescribed by \u003ci\u003eLe Monde\u003c\/i\u003e as a \"thorn in Israel's flank\", \u003cb\u003eGideon Levy\u003c\/b\u003e is a prominent Israeli journalist.
