1. What about trhe human rights of Israelis killed by terrorist
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.04.12)
their facilitators and inciters.?Taken off the streets they are the pin ups of the human rightists. Intelligence sources cannot be compromised so a small percentage are just taken out of circulation.The same human rightists become quiet when children get their throats cut
2. Compromised intelligence works for terrorists in their war
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (03.04.12)
a war in which they accept no Israel and have no hesitation targetting civillians
3. Trim detention?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (03.05.12)
How about extending it long enough for this terrorist piece of dung to die an enormously slow and agonizingly painful death? That's all the consideration she deserves. Far be it from Israeli authorities to deprive her of her absolute right to starve herself to death, and why would anyone sane or normal even care? One less terrorist in the world? Everyone wins.

I guess this is going to be the norm now.How pathetic is that.Terrorists need to be shot-that's a simple and humane solution.2 bullets don't cost much.

6. Extend the detention of any terrorist
Reuven   (03.05.12)
hunger striker. Use a force feeding machine to end all hunger strikes. Use of force feeding machines successfully ended hunger strikes by prisoners in Northern Ireland's jails. Suffice it to say that force feeding machines are NOT pleasant!
7. hunger strike
kapriza ,   tsafon   (03.05.12)
We can look forward to many more hunger strikes. We capitulated not once but twice, proving that it works.
8. successful tactic
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (03.05.12)
WEll, congrats to all those terrorists who have now figured out how to get out of jail. It is only a matter of time that the food budget of prisons goes down to 0 and all the terrorists are roaming the streets. I have only one question--will they also release Jewish prisoners who go on hunger strikes or is this tactic only going to work for Palestinians. Israel once again, is showing how foolish and weak we seem to have become.
9. Israel jails women without charge for 6 months "detention"
observer ,   Egypt   (03.05.12)
does Israel have other plans for men?
10. terrorist? she hasn't been even accused of this
observer ,   Egypt   (03.05.12)
detain first, but release later if you are terrorized by their hunger.
11. Israel's summary justice
observer ,   Egypt   (03.05.12)
without filing charges, without courts
12. Decisions, Decisions
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (03.05.12)
If the decision is to trim her sentence, then so be it. If the decision is to increase her detention, then so be it. If her decision is to go on a hunger strike, then so be it. If she decides to accept the reduced term, freed, and later rearrested for terrorist activities, then she should...
13. I don't understand why Israel is caving?
Howard Immanuelson ,   US   (03.05.12)
Why is Israel caving in to these prisoners? You don't have to be Einstein to figure out that soon they'll all be doing this until they're let go. If Israel has concrete evidence linking them to crimes then put 'em on trial and if found guilty let them starve themselves to death. Or just feed them via IV so that they can't starve to death. But don't cave in to this.
14. Problem is...
Tomer ,   Hod Hasharon, Israel   (03.05.12)
Administrative detention itself. It's a hangover from the mandate, and serves neither Israel, nor the accused - not that they're actually accused of anything, and that's the problem. There are the usual "hang, draw and quarter" talkbacks on here - but because of the provisions of AD, nobody actually knows what she has or hasn't done. If she was tried in a proper court (open or closed) then we would know what she'd done and whether she was guilty or innocent. All we have are rumors, and that's no way to run a justice system.

Why do most of your posts make you sound like a shrill harridan?
