Terrorists Vow to Hunger Strike to the Death
2004-08-06
Via Daily Pundit:
4,000 terrorists imprisoned by Israel, including 600 serving life sentences, have begun a hunger strike, vowing to continue to the death. The strike surrounds demands for improved conditions, including physical contact during visits and permission to use cellular telephones.

#16  John Kerry and his "buddy" John Edwards should stand in solidarity with their "brothers in arms" and join them.

BTW--they won't be able to go through with it. Not enough discipline, etc.

#15  I think the Hollowwood LLL should join them in solidarity. GO BOYZ GO! I am staring a group called Veterans that Support Islamists Hunger Strikes. To help you guys out we will go to Hooters every day and make sure none of their food or beverage makes it to Israel. I will hoist a beer in Solidarity tonight for you! P.S. My daughter wants one of those buses!

#14  I am wiping my eyes.

The guards could really have some fun with this. Tell the terrorists that a memorial wall is being built to celebrate their heroism. Once their egos are fully engaged, tell them that their faces are being painted on the wall alongside curses against Allah, forever associating terrorists with apostasy. This kind of fame might make them want to stick around a while.

I think you're onto something, there. They arrived in the furry kitty Short Bus... kinda like the 'B' Ark of PaleoLand...

#9  Hire some Christian guards. About a week into the hunger strike, have them start cooking bacon in the cell block.

#7  They're just going to run their terrorism operations from jail if they get their cell phones. The Israelis should let them do it, then listen to their conversations and use them to find any terrorists at large. As for physical contact: they're trying to get something smuggled in and they're trying to maybe get conjugal visits.

#6  Sounds like a deal. Pile up the Kosher food at the mess hall and let 'em strike. Works for me. Sorry about the phones and physical contact. No can do.

#4  ...and permission to use cellular telephones.

Sure. Have the Israelis give them some of those Explodo 2000's that were big a few years back.

...vowing to continue to the death

...or until they're hungry. Whatever comes first.

#2  I personally hope any dissident hunger-strikers are forcibly returned to their to-the-death fate!

"Ya gonna finish all that nothing on yer plate?? There's even worse-starving kids in North Korea who'd love to have that!"

#1  A hunger strike to the death? For once I'm 100% in favor of the terrorists achieving their goals! Don't give up boys - you can do it. I'm rooting for ya!
