World's Largest Prison

Walled in by the Israelis, held captive by Hamas, the people of the Gaza Strip live in the world's largest prison. For most it is a life sentence with no chance of parole. For most, their only crime was being born on the wrong patch of land.
Gaza has rightly been called a concentration camp. The Israeli blockade keeps the occupants impoverished. The Hamas jailers keep the occupants terrorized. Photo is of Hamas militia beating Palestinians in Gaza City in 2007 (source).
