UN Worried About Health Of Hunger-Striking Palestinian Detainees
2014-06-08
[Ynet] UNITED NATIONS - UN Secretary-General the ephemeral Ban Ki-moon
... of whom it can be said to his credit that he is not Kofi Annan...
voiced concerns on Friday about the worsening health of Paleostinian hunger strikers in Israeli detention and demanded that they either be formally charged or released immediately.
This affects nothing, of course, but the Secretary-General of the United Nations will have burnished his credentials for something or other.

#1  To me anyone who goes on a real hunger strike* and sticks to it is just committing slow motion suicide.

*Cindy Sheehan doesn't count.
