| Palestinian hunger strike is 'jihad' |
| 2004-08-23 |
| What isn't? A leading Palestinian Muslim cleric said on Monday that a hunger strike by nearly 3000 Palestinian prisoners was a form of jihad, or Islamic holy struggle, and any who die will be considered martyrs. "This is a type of legitimate jihad," Sheikh Tayseer al-Tamimi, head of the Higher Council for Islamic Jurisprudence, told family members of the prisoners. "If any one of them is martyred, God forbid, it will be as if he were martyred on the field of battle and the occupation authority will be considered the true killer." That's "Zionist Authority", holy man. Get your Struggle terms straight, willya? Around 2800 prisoners, seen by Palestinians as symbols of resistance to Israeli occupation, are refusing food to demand wardens stop strip searches, allow more frequent family visits, improve sanitation and install public telephones. Israeli officials call the liquids-only fast that began on August 15 with 1500 hunger strikers a ploy by prisoners to secure easier communication with militant groups waging a nearly four-year-old uprising. About 7000 Palestinians, excluding common criminals, are held in Israeli jails. There's a difference? Palestinian Prime Minister Ahmed Korei said Palestinians would ask the United Nations to hold a special session to discuss the prisoners, and blamed Israel for any potential harm to them. "Israel bears full responsibility of any dangers that could harm the strugglers," Korei told reporters. Ooooh, the UN. Next stop, the Arab League? |

| #10 I like the Israeli prison administration attitude: you've got a jihad, then jihad without salt. No cheating on the hunger strike. The only hope of success is either the 'Zionist' Supreme Court or the MSM. Keep the MSM out of the prison and the prisoners can jihad and hunger strike till the cows come home. "Another hamburger, Avnir? They're cooked to perfection on the grille." "Don't mind if I do, Moshe. The last one, though excellent, just whetted my appetite without bedding it down. Hey, look, the smoke from the barbie is wafting into Cell Block D." "So it is, Avnir. Let me stir it up a little. Fire for effect, ya know." |

| #4 "the prisoners have threatened to form human pyramids and have a tabacco-smoking female humiliate them while they are naked to garner world media support not available since the notorious ahbu gharhaihb prison "scandal". A spokespaleostinian has said that plastic bags have not yet arrived and asked for donations to fund this latest PR putsch. He went on to say that any prisoner, including the common criminals, who are the least bit embarrassed by this self-induced immolation will be considered full fledged martyrs, with all the rights and priviledges herein not withstanding their repeated suffering at the hands of the occupiers and so on and so forth, blah blah blah, etc., with a special prize for the most humiliated martyr payable from the Saddam Hussein Memorial fund for the Martyrs Foundation in Burbank Calif.

| #3 Hmmm. This jihad stuff is actually pretty simple, it seems. I want another cigarette - but instead I'll declare a 15 minute jihad on them. Then I'll have one. But for those 15 minutes, whoa baby!, all cigarettes had better watch out and lay low! And if it kills me to wait 15 minutes - boom! virgins! Uh, hang on a minute Guv - I don't share Mohammed's whacked-out virgin psychosis - I want a 33 year old Pro who can leave a smile on my face that even the mortician can't do anything about. I guess I'll have to find another ideology. Sigh. And another one bites the dust. |
