#1 Er. If all these prisoners are being held incommunicado and denied phones and relatives, how exactly are they coordinating a hunger strike across multiple prisons?

#3 PS: Steve White, thank you for running this as a separate article. I didn't want to beat this topic to death, but all of us here at Rantburg know d@mn well that the UN and EU will be trying to club Israel over the head with accusations of cruel and inhuman punishment. I feel it is important to expose just how ridiculous the prisoners' demands are and the sort of compromise they represent to Israeli security. Again, thank you.

#4 Through cell phones? Why isn't the Mossad listening in on them? Monitoring cell phone conversations is a snap.

#5 I am for giving them all "splodin'" cellphones. That will learn um.

#6 This is what the Israelis get for not having the death penalty. If these fuckers were just thrown up against a wall and shot, you wouldn't have to worry about your jails becoming planning and communication hubs for terrorists.

#7 Can we keep a scoreboard on how many of these "heroes" of the struggle actually starve themselves to death? My current bet: "zero".

#8 Meals are not being served today to hundreds of Arab terrorists imprisoned in Israel - because they have embarked on a hunger strike.

If it saves the Israelis a shekel or two, it's fine by me.

#9 Israel should take the unused prison food and give it away to poor Israeli Arabs. Find some way to flip this debacle into positive PR wherever possible.

#10 Better idea: take the food and donate it to the poor Muslims being butchered and starved in Africa.
