They see that Israel is not going to give in this time. Rocket attacks will not be feared, because of the defending batteries and the only thing Hamas can get out of this foolishness is another Israeli invasion into Gaza and then they will really suffer!

This grotesque glorification of death is psychotic and the very definition of spiritual sickness.

Please tell the Islamic Movement in Israel that my bowel movement is more important. Being against your country is known as treason.

let them rot in prison! I could care less if they starve themselves! I wuldn't even allow it to be publicized-why should they get any attention! I'm sick of these murderers getting away with murdesr-getting out, and committing more atrocities!

They made a decision to starve themselves to death. Not our problem. They were tried for crimes and put in prison. And for that, they need to be accountable!!!!

if ALL terrorists go on hunger strike until they die and have their families join them.

The terrorsts have much better condition than Shalit torture conditions. If they want to die, let it so be. They will not be missed. Terror should not be rewarded.

Good. Let them have their "victory." Israel should not allow itself to be blackmailed by threats of violence, or kidnappings. Any violent outbreaks should be met with the use of deadly force and complete resolve. We will not held hostage to the demands of a terrorist rabble.

put them out front,while their parents stay home. Thats why their media incite their children to martyrdom and poison their minds with racist lies. What human being would put a suicide belt on a child? "Honor"?

with them wherever they go.

They are choosing to refuse to eat, and it is their choice and their own responsibility if they die of starvation. In the 1970s there were Irish prisoners who had also committed terrorist atrocities who starved to death through their hunger strikes. The British government refused to cave in to this manipulative pressure and in the end, after the deaths of those on hunger strike, the problem resolved itself. Israel needs to stand strong, always.

Finally we agree about something, peace is around the corner. I think the world would be a better place if these terrorists were dead, and I certainly don't want to waste money feeding them. If Hamas agrees that it would be great that they were dead, what's the problem?

These terrorists should serve every single day of their sentences in conditions deemed appropriate by the Israeli authorities. If they want to take an 'early bird shuttle' to allah then let them go at least they'll free up a bunk for another jihadi!

palestinians are great people drwaing best picture for civilised struggle that all the so called technology of the western civilisation could not stop. i wonder of those who wish other to die .. what would u say to yourself if u look in the mirror and repeat what u just wrote?????!!

For once I agree with Khader, if any (or all) of them die it will be a victory for ALL of us. The ramifications are endless. Sorry they did not think of a hunger strike before they are doing us a favor. Now if we can only convince them that it should be their policy.

"Since when did the Israeli governement have the chutzpa to take away our right from us!" "We, the fanatic followers of the 'culture of death, the heroic 'warriors for the destruction of Israel!" "We don't ask, we demand our rights to *socialize with our brothers in crime, to *finish the study of our choice, to *have free acces to internet & Arabic inciting media channels to get our blood pumping again & much family visits because we get sooo lonesome alone in our cells. What is this here....prison?" "We should at least have the same rights as Gilat Shalit, you bloody Israeli's, we hate you!"

Apparently according to media reports they're also 'demanding' better food in spite of terrorists released in exchange for Gilad Shalit looking hale and hearty, a far cry from their Israeli captive. So what's lacking in their diet then? Popcorn for movie night? More meat off the bone? Their conditions should be spartan at best and if they feel deprived they should pray harder between meals! Alternatively join the hunger strike! It's their choice!

Suicide is the victory.Let them have it. The PA way of dealling with colaborators does not need administrative proceedings!

Arab s noblest cause: proceeding to their victory by their own deaths.

Israeli pollicy should COMPLETLY ignore ham threats with regard to pal prisoners captured as terrorists or even as terror helpers. ham has shown NO capacity to control the wild (IRANIAN ??) rocket launchers . Apparently ham can NOT control the confrontation (or chooses not to control??) . Whatever the case Israel must be TOUGH. moshe

Israel should NEVER give in to the blackmail. Now the Arabs found new tactic to blackmail. Israel still should offer the prisoners food, and if they refuse, it is their decision to die. Any intifada by the Arabs, Israel should take harsh matter from first day. Kill lot of them and ignore world reaction. Arabs need heavy handed, and they will respect the law at later. BE TOUGH AND DONT WORRY.

Israel must start acting with courage again. We're always hearing that our officials fear this and that and this and that...and everything... Rather than fearing a new intifatah, we should welcome one as a golden opportunity to drive our enemies out of our land forever.

Starving themselves is merely rectifying the first mistake. May they have thousands of such 'victories'. We can easily afford those type of 'victories'.

Give their food to poor Israelis. I am sure that they would be happy to have three meals per day...

And Israel gets held accountable... I don't get it.

starvation, then let them claim anything they want and provide the videotapes to the UN, US, EU and add the narration that the plates of food in front of them were free, tasty and have the guards eat from them to show they were good food.

then I wish Hamas and many other "Palestinian" terrorists many more victories in the future!
