1. Hunger strike
ShoshieB ,   Migdal, Israel   (02.21.12)
I am utterly amazed how everyone is up in arms about this guy's hunger strike - students in Iran are demonstrating outside the UN office in Tehran - Gaza is prepard to tke him - but the 6,000 Syrians that have been killed by their own President and are still being bombarded - no one raises their voice - what is the world coming to : 1 man doesn't want to eat - everyone is protesting - 6,000 are killed and no-one bothers...
2. Of interest, this Islamic Jihad leader that refuses to...
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (02.21.12)
...accept Israel's right to be, to exist as the independent nation-state of the Jewish people on any parcel of land between the Jordan River and the Med. Sea was willing, until the very last moment, to step into the halls of the Israel's Supreme Court and seek justice from the Jews he so despises...
3. He will be in jail for another 7 weeks
Eric ,   Tel Aviv & NY   (02.21.12)
Given his current detainment ends 17 April (and today is 21 Feb) the IDF and prison services have well over 6 weeks to fatten him up again. The hoped for PA photo op will not show what they want.
4. Healthy situation-timing is important
John ,   Boise, Idaho USA   (02.21.12)
Now is the time to take advantage of the situation by a healthy encouragement for all terrorists to go on a 65 day hunger strike. This would show the world you are serious about your ideological cause and save everyone on food bills. In addition, we will cooperate fully with sanctions against food supplies to terrorist countries, allowing full cooperation by the international community, thereby promoting global unity on your behalf.
5. Bad precedent
Rabbi Yakov Lazaros ,   USA   (02.21.12)
By letting this guy out of jail because of his hunger strike, Israel is setting a bad precedent. Any Arab criminal who wants out has only to go on a hunger strike for long enough.
6. what a victory
rami ,   palestine   (02.21.12)
this has been a great achievment for an individual against this "state" of arms and wars i beleive he made a new chapter in this so called administrative detention
7. If only heaven allowed all terrorists to stop eating
Yaniv ,   Israel   (02.21.12)
8. #6 - yes, to get a trial after being arrested...
William ,   Israel   (02.21.12)
you need only to fast for 65 days. right next to a shwarma tent which the Israel Prison Services will provide on warm sunny days. Game on.
9. #6 - just a word of caution...
William ,   Israel   (02.21.12)
he was safer when IN jail. Now, he is subject to...shall we say..."accidents"...during a future IDF raid against terrorists and terror groups like Islamic Jihad.
10. #6 & 8 Statute of limitations
John ,   Boise, idaho USA   (02.21.12)
Sounds good in theory, but the word is out now that an extension has been made. You now have a "double or nothing" clause of 130 days and no water, or even longer depending on conditions and is subject to change enroute. It's kind of like an insurance policy which changes its premiums and dividends while you are paying on it....something to think about..
11. No real sympathy for his racist ideology,
Jo   (02.21.12)
Or his condition. He wants to kill all Jews yet he is very lucky he live in Israel and not one of the Arab countries where Arabs have no human rights or priveleges. That is the hypocrisy of Men like him, have them in the UK, rant and rave against the west but live of western money. If you live by the sword you are more likely to die that way and sympathy for your human rights is not forth coming.
12. What appeals did Israelis captured & murdered by Arabs have?
PETER SM ,   AUSTRALIA   (02.22.12)
What health care? Red Cross access? Family visits? Human rights group acces??
13. BAD PRECEDENT !
Mark ,   T.a. Israel   (02.22.12)
Now all the jihadists learned how to become WORLDWIDE FAMOUS by doing a FAKED HUNGER SRIKE ! By the way a real hunger striker has no chance to survive 65 days of hunger strike ! Because all his vital organs will be destroyed by lack of nutrition beginning by his KIDNEYS which are the first to be damaged ! Let's see the end of this bizarre story !
14. William @8,9, do not even try putting lipstick on this pig.
