31. #11 Straight guy, don't underestimate yourself.
Noodles ,   Coney Island   (04.17.12)
You sound like a stand-up guy to me. Members of the opposite sex are always looking for someone like that. Hopefully, you won't have to read this reply twice.
32. HUNGER STRIKE
Robert Levine ,   Las Terrenas,DR   (04.17.12)
The message when prisoners go on a hunger strike is that they are getting too much food.Let them starve.
33. BE MERCIFUL - LET THEM EAT
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.17.12)
All the salt herring that will be put on their plates Then they can slake their thirst with waters from the Med
34. They didn't get enough press the 1st time
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (04.17.12)
The terrorist supporters found out that the rest of the world doesn't care about them or their racist issues, so now they are attempting to get some sort of press. Again the rest of the world won't care. Hope they have a very long stay in jail.
35. El Al should fly 'em to Cuba
Brian Schiff ,   Southfield   (04.17.12)
36. Reyes ,Argentina#26 Yes indeed Israel is moral

Let me remind you it is these so called activists who chose to starve. It is their choice not Israel's.They came to Israel to provoke and intimidate the IDF and take full advantage of Israel's democracy .This denish guy got the least what he deserved for challenging the duty of an army officer.Can you honestly say to what would have happened to these so called activists had they chosen Syria ,Iran ETC as there destination to protest ? I have no doubt in my mind they will disappear without a trace just like what Argentina did to it's own people who dared to stand up for their freedom.
37. hope they keep it up!
Hannah ,   TLV Israel   (04.17.12)
good for us...it will help our economy if they all just stopped eating...and then maybe we could contribute their meals and t.v.s to israeli society who really needs it!
38. no 33 BEN JABO. Be merciful
(04.17.12)
Let them eat $$$T
39. I can understand them: airline food is s**t!
(04.17.12)
40. #38 No, I wouldn't do that
BEN JABO ,   ISRAEL   (04.17.12)
I would give them a buffet breakfast, salt herrring and saltier pickles, which they can top off with tantalizing salt water
41. They'll do anything to get attention...
William ,   Israel   (04.17.12)
after their famed flytilla flopped into nothing. My advice - never mention this again, but take video of them in their cells so you capture when they sneak food. When they return home and claim they supported the hunger strike, show the videos to discredit them, then close the case.
42. Who Runs Israel
KenCopal ,   Canada   (04.17.12)
The media obviously. If an Jew farts near a Palesatin, the media is there to chastise them. To the Jewish people; YOU NEED A LEADER, Lieberman would be a fresh start, some one with a spine.
43. Have a Good Fast
Douglas Fireman ,   Chicago, USA   (04.17.12)
Their are millions of people dieing of hunger in the world, but not the Activists. They are planning a hunger strike- for the purpose of propaganda and international media coverage. During World War II, many in my extended family died of starvation. They had no choice, but the Activists do. Rather than help to promote a peaceful resolution to the conflict in the region, the Activists choose to starve themselves. How many children in the last minute have died from hunger? Oh well, nothing more to say other than, in their attempt to starve themselves, the Activists have made a mockery of World hunger.
44. Ynet still censors my post
Bewildered Aussie   (04.17.12)
Maybe they published it in Hebrew or yiddish. OK people, define a terrorist.
45. Good! They're all too fat as it is.
EZRA THE PROUD JEW ,   USA-ISRAEL   (04.17.12)
These fat-cat activist thugs NEED a diet (and a make-over: I mean, these people are uuuuuuugly!). After they've lost enough weight, expel them from the land completely: no pa territory or Gaza or even egypt: send them to europe or China or whomever else will take these bastards. They've done enough damage to world security.
46. Solidarity
Beary White ,   Norway   (04.17.12)
I looooove people who think they can change the world by stop eating. :-) LOL. Let it be so, I would rather support those idiots if they did it in solidarity with all people who go hungry to bed every evening. In solidarity I am just having a cold beer :-)
47. May they all loose a lot of weight!
EST ,   Miami USA   (04.17.12)
48. Hunger strike
Sam M ,   UK   (04.17.12)
Lets just wait and see how long these morons refuse food in 'solidarity' with palestinian security prisoners. I have serious doubts about their commitment! Much more to their liking is confronting Israeli soldiers and hurling abuse including references to 'nazis, 'occupation forces' and the usual anti-semitic crap they come out with. My prediction is that in the not too distant future Israel will do the sensible things and call time on these idiots and bring an end to what is becoming a national embarrasment of Israel hosting these people as guests when their sole purpose is to delegitimise Israel as a Jewish state.
49. Good for the Israeli taxpayer
Sami ,   New York, USA   (04.17.12)
Good for the Israeli taxpayer.
50. Benefits.
Rogerlen ,   Israel. Usa   (04.17.12)
I still am of the opinion that all prisoners convicted of murder and carrying life sentences and those caught trying to commit murder/terror should be denied all forms of benefits. no tv, no hot meals, no news interviews, nothing. and if you are in jail for a short term for a non felony offense then sure give them some schooling help them rehabilitate. but those commiting Jihad, murder, suicide bomber, etc. get nothing.
