Israelis Blocking Medical Care in Gaza Yassir Abu Aayya, 37, suffering from heart troubles, told TIME he was turned back after refusing to reveal the whereabouts of his militant brother. "They told me I should go back and die in Gaza," he says. If these accounts are true, say human rights activists, the withholding of medical care for non-medical reasons is a form of torture.

Frontline: Too Timid, Too Little, Too Late At one point, however, the garrulous former Deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage did allude to one of the largest elephants in the living room-Israel?s far-right Likudniks-and their close alliance with the so-called neo-conservatives running our policy toward the Middle East.
