2104-06-12 ISRAEL-PALESTINE: Israeli Medical Association - we will not protect in Hague Israeli doctors, who would collude in forced feeding of Palestinian detainees on hunger strike

===2104-06-12 ISRAEL-PALESTINE: Israeli Medical Association - we will not protect in Hague Israeli doctors, who would collude in forced feeding of Palestinian detainees on hunger strike===
The Israeli Medical Association clarified its position, in accordance with international law, that forced feeding is torture. The position of the Israeli Medical Association stands in stark contrast with the position of the Israeli government, which is pushing to "legalize" forced feeding in Israel, to break the current hunger strike, reaching a crisis level.
Position of the Israeli Medical Association also stands in stark contrast with the conduct of doctors in the United States, which collude in torture in GITMO and elsewhere.
