2. Oh, goody!
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (04.17.12)
If they are too cowardly and aren't REALLY interested in expressing any sort of "solidarity" with criminals, let's find out. Invite them to cut out water rations -- or at least reduce them significantly -- as well. That should show their true hypocritical face.
3. @1 Art buddy, you're a man after my own heart...
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.17.12)
but don't get the wrong idea, being from SF and all.
4. Ynet - why did you remove my post #1?
Arthur ,   SF, CA   (04.17.12)
Is there anything wrong to see an ultimate demise of the enemies of the Jewish people? I'll say it again - let them starve to death.
5. Prisoners in Israel received more, much more than they are
Jehudah Ben-Israel ,   Qatzrin, Israel   (04.17.12)
entitled to based on international treaties. Therefore, if they want to starve to death, they should have the privilege to do so.
6. TOUTURE
JAHAWAB   (04.17.12)
These animals are lucky they even get food. The IPS should take all privleges away from them including food . They should all starve to death it will cost the goverment 300 shekels a day less and it will cut the work out for the IDF
7. Hanger strike
Gosaye ,   Diredawa,Ethiopia   (04.17.12)
death is for beddin according to our constitution with out series criminal.So every death is obstacle to civilisation .But security and peace leads to globalisation
8. have fun!
Aaron ,   USA   (04.17.12)
I never understood hunger strikes....
9. hey, put them all on REAL HUNGER GAMES CONTEST!
mary of bethany ,   singapore   (04.17.12)
demand "higher education and more"? so piss off! we sweat and bled and struggled to earn enough to let our children study and earn their degree, and YOU WANT WHAT HIGHER EDUCATION? huh, more advance ways to make bombs, deadly biological weapons or how to hack into Israeli government sites... suggest we put them all on REAL HUNGER GAMES CONTEST! let's them have their "Katniss and Peeta" !
10. #4 Because radical left Ynet Arab lovers
Benjamin ,   Ramat HaSharon   (04.17.12)
wouldn't want to see their Arab friends and those fighting for their Arab friends dead. If you'd write this about religious Jews, esp. haredim, they'd highlight it in red because it would be the best comment.
11. @3 You really have a heart?
Straight guy   (04.17.12)
Noodles, I recently heard that there still are a few straight ones left over there. Granted...not many, but still. LOL It took me two reads to figure out what you were alluding to. LOL LOL BTW, when I go there these days, I always wonder whether I need to wear a suit of armor. However I only worry about 50% of the population, the other half would never be interested in me no matter what.
12. Jolly Good save the State of Israel the cost of feeding them
Emma ,   Arab Occupied London   (04.17.12)
13. prison conditions
Sam M ,   UK   (04.17.12)
Access to more movie channels, higher education and apparently that's not all! I've stayed in a few hotels in europe that don't offer movie channels to their guests! Palestinian prisoners many guilty of horrendous crimes are being kept in excellent conditions as could be clearly seen in the last prisoner exchange deal when they were freed looking hale and hearty in stark contrast to Gilad Shalit's appearance. As far as these female activists go they can just whither away as far as I'm concerned. They'll be a loss to no one except their mothers and other hateful trolls!
14. Activists's Hunger Srike
Steven Weinstein ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (04.17.12)
I wonder if these Activists grandparents went on hunger strike when my family was being murdered by the Nazis.
15. So
Ellen ,   Israel/USA   (04.17.12)
If they don't want to eat then the money saved in feeding them ( both the prisoners and their foreign friends) can be used to provide food for some of the Israeli hungry. I never heard of this--demands???? demands??? we "want" higher education, we "want" etc. etc. Since when do prisoners issue demands. There are no international guidelines requiring any of their demands! Oh yes, are these the same foreigners who had no intention of causing problems--bunch of liars--but then we all knew that!
16. To 4# you think your the only one ....
Dyslexic............ ,   Israel....   (04.17.12)
Y net discriminates against people like me who have dyslexia.They wont even post my last post that i wrote against these poor starving terrorist.I say let them starve too death.
17. #8 - Aaron
Devorah   (04.17.12)
Hunger strikes are a form of self abuse, not all that different from people who cut themselves, for example. To say that low self esteem is involved would be an understatement. People who do this turn their already-existing rage inside and exhibit self hatred by refusing life-sustaining nourishment. It's slow suicide with the option to quit. We'll see how sincere the prisoners and their female sympathizers are when walking their talk starts making them sick, if they even get that far.
18. And who is paying for their food!!!!
arlene ,   israel   (04.17.12)
more strain on tax payers money. They dont want to eat, why waste money and food, give to the needy and ship this lot back to where they came from..
19. the new 'thing to do
tiki ,   belgium   (04.17.12)
In Belgium a group of 'illegals who are out of stories & on the brink to be thrown out of the country but ''demand papers, also went on a hunger strike. It won't help them....they will be dead or flown out. No excuses! Israel gave in to this one terrorist woman (like they always do) and every child could figure out what would happen. Israel has two options....to make a point or to lose face & control forever!
20. Israel is democratic and free
john   (04.17.12)
Israel should give her blessing and grant these hypocrites foreigners the free will to starve and not drink water too ,let them exercise their democratic choice, if that is their wish.
21. Let them starve to death!
Moshe ,   Jerusalem Israel   (04.17.12)
22. Weight watchers would have cost the "activists'much more!
andyboy ,   Israel   (04.17.12)
Perhaps the state should make them pay a fee for this service. At least it would help to offset the cost of maintaining them!
23. Put Them Back On A Plane Immediately
TC   (04.17.12)
Let's see if they keep on their circus once they are in country.
24. Arab prisons
M Carr ,   Baltimore, USA   (04.17.12)
"The inmates are demanding that their leaders be taken out of isolation, access to more TV channels, higher education and more." I'm curious if Arab jailers provide these goodies for their prisoners. Just wondering...
25. Expel Them To Syria
TC   (04.17.12)
We will see how long they keep on their ''strike''.
26. To: the reaction this is getting from ultrazionist.
Reyes ,   Argentina   (04.17.12)
"Let them starve to death" I thought this was a country founded on Judaism proclaiming its army is moral. Wishing death on someone...I don't know if that is a Jewish value for the worlds only Jewish state. To know that a bunch of prisoners and activist are going on a hunger strike to protest...why is that a bother to you where you have to wish death on them? I am reminded of Winston Churchill, when Gandhi went on hunger strikes (I am not comparing the activist or the Palestinians to Gandhi) Churchill hoped that he would die during them so he wouldn't have to deal with him and ultimately deal with the movement at hand. So I would like to say to all of you, yes...lets wish death on prisoners, that is the "Jewish" thing to do.
27. These "martyrs" again
Jewish Patriot ,   Galut   (04.17.12)
I'm serious, maybe we should be as tough as we are described by these "victims" and poor "martyrs". Let them get what they want. What would have happened to them in Syria, Iran, Libya (during Gaddafi), Russia, etc? They would not live now. I'm sick of these anti-Semite bastards who claim themselves "peace" activists, then why do they draw Swastika? The food should be paid by them and given to homeless and sick and to poor people in Israel. :(( They make me upset, and they should have been banned from Israel or jailed for 30 years because they attempt to harm an independent state.
28. free men
joe moor ,   south africa   (04.17.12)
only free men/woman should have "more" tv channels,higher education ,tv screens,radios and hot plates...come on people what are we running here ...a holiday camp.. IF YOUR A PRISONER YOU SHOULD HAVE THE BASICS AND NOTHING ELSE ...YOU SHOULD HAVE TO WORK FOR PRIVELEGES AND I BELEIVE PRIVELEGES INCLUDE A BED INSTEAD OF SLEEPING ON THE FLOOR . do these eurotrash even know what is going on in syria ..let them watch that only ...i hope israelis are not paying for this eurotrash to fly home
29. Who are we?
Jerry ,   Shomron   (04.17.12)
Who are we to decide if they eat or not? I for one wont shed any tears if they starve to death
30. I'm sure some hungry kids in Israel
A ,   Belgium   (04.17.12)
would be real happy to get those meals. No point in wasting good food on "palestinian" hunger strikers and their sharmoota "activist" friends.
