1. Let them die, then
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.06.14)
And if the "Palestinians" riot or otherwise behave badly, more will die. We're tired of "Palestinian" theatre. What will NOT happen is the release of terrorists and murderers from prison. So, the choice is clear: eat or die.
2. I support not force feeding Arab criminals and let them die.
Steve Benassi ,   Silver Bay, MN USA   (06.07.14)
In fact they do eat when guards don't notice.
3. manupilation
Angela ,   The Haque, Holland   (06.07.14)
Those manupilators are not on hungerstrike they are just manupilating.
4. I agree with Binyamin Netanyahu,
Erin ,   USA   (06.07.14)
we need to preserve human life; life is valuable.
5. Stop that inhuman administrative detention practice
Harri ,   EU   (06.07.14)
Your judges and doctors talk like in a civilized democracy but some of your ministers are dreaming of a military dictatorship. Stop that stupid occupation and those administrative detentions before you destroy Israel. There is no greater danger to Israel than your right wing ministers.
6. #1 'Sarah B' Good idea
Sarah B ,   London/Tel Aviv   (06.07.14)
That is what Thatcher did in the 1980's Look at Northern Ireland now. You really are stupid aren't you
7. show boating murderers...
les ,   canada   (06.07.14)
that FARCE could only work with BB's government. i bet if lieberman was PM, he would make sure they do not get any food until they had beg for it. if they didn't...that much better :))
8. hunger strike
MARK BUNCH ,   U.S.A.   (06.07.14)
let them starve themselves to death then release them.
9. free will
fred lapides ,   USA   (06.07.14)
Since jiihadists, aka terrorist, freely choose to try to kill Israelis, and since they freely choose not to eat, why deny them their right not to eat?
10. To: No. 6
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.07.14)
Thatcher's refusal to cave in to terrorist demands is what made all the difference. A few deaths -- the only name I remember is Bobby Sands -- but the rest of the hunger strikers abandoned the strike. What's going on in Israel isn't even as idealistic as the IRA provo hunger strikes. The "Palestinians" just want to be released from prison. Well, they will get their wish. Death is the ultimate release. I guess if it doesn't involve a swimming pool, you don't pay very much attention, do you? You're really quite shallow.
11. To: No. 5
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.07.14)
Thank you for your input. I will give it all the consideration it is worth. What's for dinner? You REALLY need to shut up. When Europe is thoroughly overrun with terrorist murderers -- it's happening before your very eyes -- you will understand that there is only one way to deal with violent terrorists. You have to remove them from civilized society. Well, perhaps you don't understand because, as a Jew, I can tell you that Europeans aren't civilized, but terrorists and murderers need to be imprisoned. These people have not been detained for praying too loudly in the mosque, you know? They are cold-blooded terrorists who were caught either plotting to kill Jews or after attempting or carrying out a terrorist attack. What they want is to be released from prison in order to resume their terrorist activities. That is not going to happen; not any more. Here's a news flash: most Israelis would rather see them eat. But if they choose to starve themselves, we will let that happen. We are not, after all, thugs like the Americans who force-feed hunger strikers in Guantanamo. But you know what? The history of hunger strikers is that a handful may die, the remainder realize that they will not be released from prison, and ask for food. This is just another Pallywood soap opera. Criminal terrorists and murderers trying to paint themselves as martyred innocent heroes. If you buy into it, you're a lot more stupid than I thought. Didn't think that was possible.
12. Yezz, why the fuzz :-)
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.07.14)
They select death through starvation, who cares?? That's what they wants, being martyrs, to meet 72 virgins :-), virgins lookalike as the winner of the European Song Contest :-), or even dressed up in full-body burka with one hole. I cannot imagine the lust!! Islam must NOT be presented to young kids, its a bad road to death and evilness.
13. #10, Terrorists comitting suicide in the 80's
Beary White ,   Norway   (06.07.14)
Bobby Sands was the one who convinced the other nine convicted terrorists from IRA) to do suicide. By itself that is a crime to psychologically influence the death of other weak, young, humans minds, names: Francis Hughes (25), Raymond McCreesh (24) Patsy O'Hara (23) Joe McDonnell (29) Marin Hurson (24) Kevin Lynch (25) Kieran Doherty (25) Thomas McElwee (23) Michael Devin (27) These ones for sure did not meet the 72..they were just terrorists, brainwashed by Bobby S.

17. #11, Dear Sarah, you live in a denial
Harri ,   EU   (06.07.14)
If those Palestinians have committed a crime, you must give them a trial and convict them for their crimes. You give administrative detentions and death penalties for people who nobody knows if they have committed any crimes. If you don't change your course, you are heading towards an Apartheid Banana Republic. By the way, my opinion is much the same as Ben-Gurions opinion. ‘Israel, he said, better rid itself of the territories and their Arab populations as soon as possible. If it did not Israel would soon become an Apartheid State. Demography, he said, was a greater danger than not having the territorial depth the right wing was always claiming Israel needed to defend itself.’ You can call me stupid, because you have no other means to defend your case, but you cant call Ben-Gurion stupid.
18. To: No. 17
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.07.14)
They are administrative detainees because they and their cohorts are subjects of an ongoing investigation. They are subject to military rule because they are not citizens of Israel; they knew the score when they decided to plot acts of terror and murder against the Jewish people. I realize that is not a crime in the European Union, but it is a crime in civilized countries, where murderers of Jews do not get to pick where they will be tried. There is no death penalty in Israel for terrorists. If there were, we would have far fewer problems and considerably fewer terrorists. We have moved on from Ben Gurion's view -- evolved, if you will, towards something logical. We are going to keep the territories and send the Arab population somewhere else -- Jordan; Gaza; the Israeli people are sick of the "Palestinians" and their passion for violence, terror and wanton murder. Ben Gurion was not stupid, but he was a misguided idealist. His political party is reduced to a small remnant of lesser sorts, clinging desperately to a vision that the overwhelming majority of Israelis realize is a mirage. The "Palestinians" will NEVER stop seeking Israel's destruction, and they will NEVER stop trying to kill Jews. You have no idea just how many terrorist attacks are thwarted or their plotters arrested -- with weapons and explosives in their possession; with bolt-holes already prepared for to-be-kidnapped Israeli soldiers -- before they can carry out their plans. It's an almost daily occurrence. By the way -- just a side question: Do you remember all those so-called "price tag" attacks in the north of Israel? Have you noticed how they have stopped? That's because the Shin Bet was getting perilously close to arresting the true perpetrators -- Arabs -- so they closed down that phony-to-the-core Pallywood production. I recall you denouncing Israel and accusing the innocent Jewish pioneers in Judea and Samaria of those acts. Are you prepared to offer up an apology for your libelous and groundless accusations? Probably not; you'd never deign to apologize to a Jew, would you? Even when you're grievously wrong. Finally -- I call you "stupid" because I am being kind. Trust me; defending my case is not an issue -- you have yet to pose anything that can reasonably be called a "case;" all you're doing is using this forum as a bully pulpit for your hatred of Jewish and your love of "Palestinian" terrorists and your "arguments" are silly and ridiculously easy to demolish.
19. "islam""pal"-Arabs in Israel
Sjoerd van der Velde ,   Hoorn, Holland   (06.07.14)
As soon as they have finished their punishment in prison, send them to the "islam"-world, after having pre-paid for a one-way trip, to join their fellow "islam"-following. For example (,also) the Jewish and Israeli people, forever, ever and always! May G.D bless Israel (,too)!
20. To: Beary at No. 13
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (06.07.14)
And it was the refusal of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher to cave into terrorist demands that pretty much put an end to the provisional IRA. The rest of the terrorists decided killing innocent people just wasn't enough fun any more. And since with the exception of the few of questionable intellect who actually died for their "cause," the singular hallmark of terrorists is that they are far less interested in dying for their cause than in killing for it. I have no doubt that quite a few of the hunger-strikers in Israel have been bullied into it -- their families have been threatened -- but I have no problem seeing them die, either. They are mindless sheep and the herd does need to be culled from time to time. I doubt that the "Palestinian" hunger strikers will have even the resilience of the Irish hunger strikers. One or two deaths, and the rest will realize they aren't going to be freed, and will start begging for nourishment. The Irish hunger strikers, towards the end, refused water. The "Palestinians" are demanding vitamin fortified water! Not what someone prepared to starve himself to death for a "cause" would do if they were serious about it. They're clinging to a desperate fantasy that Israel will release them. When Israel releases them, it will be feet first. And if the "Palestinians" riot -- they will; it's in their nature to be mindlessly violent -- Israel will dispel any riots with deadly force. We're about out of patience with the snively "Palestinians." They seem to think that they are above the law. They're not. Israel's kid gloves are going to come off. The "Palestinians" think that Israel is afraid of them. We're not. They are confusing fear with kindness. We can stop being kind. Very easily. It's time we put down rioters the way they do in Western Europe.
21. Harri denies Jihad infiltrating Europe and destroying it.

Birdi ,   Israel   (06.07.14)
Whoa, what a load of bunk. ''You give administrative detentions & death penalties for people who nobody knows if they have committed any crimes.'' Put your money where your mouth is, bring us proof of what you say here.
23. #18, Ben-Gurion was a wise leader
Harri ,   EU   (06.07.14)
Ben-Gurion was a wise leader but your greed right wing leaders are destroying everything he fought for. Your dreams of deporting millions of Palestinians to Jordan and Egypt, are just daydreams of a misguided and a very childish girl. You are no better than stupid Islamists who dream of deporting Jews back to Europe and Russia. Stop dreaming about deportations. You will wake up into nightmare if you don't take seriously what US, EU, UN and many others are warning you.
24. #22, Dear Birdi,
Harri ,   EU   (06.07.14)
You asked about administrative detentions and death penalties. This article and many more if you like to read them, tells you about administrative detentions of people who have not committed any crimes. If they had, they had convicted. With those "death penalties" I meant those targeted assassinations when nobody knows what were the crimes those Palestinians (or other Arabs) had committed. If you read the lists, you find many of such cases. In those cases your assassins act like that Arab maniac in Holland. It is plain madness and you all pay for those mistakes. Your deceased great leaders would turn in their graves if they knew how badly you have played your cards lately.
