Heroism and Hunger Strikers

Shalom and a belated shavua tov!

A thousand and a half Palestinian security prisoners began a hunger strike a couple of days ago demanding better conditions. In particular, they demand unlimited family visits, access to computers and unlimited use of cellphones.

Hm... Let's see... Britain, for instance, has probably the most liberal prison system in the world. But even there and even in the most relaxed category D jails inmates do not have such liberties. Category D (open) prisons accommodate the most menial of "offenders", people who can leave the compound during the day and return in the evening. They can also work "outside". These Palestinian prisoners, however, are terrorists: individuals who did or conspired to do serious murderous acts against the Israeli people. Such scum would in Britain languish in category AA prison and in the US in Guantanamo. Forget cellphones, they'd hardly be allowed to have a towel. Therefore, not only are these demands unreasonable, they are downright ludicrous!

But the strike won't last long. Our authorities have, as always, devised an ingenious and rather humorous way to break the strike: katzinim will be barbecuing meat below these prisoners' cell windows, as well as leave steaks, falafel and baclavas on their window ledges. =)) You couldn't make it up!

Meanwhile a terrorist severely stabbed a shoter in East Yerushalayim yesterday. The stab wounds were to the neck and the aim was to slit the mishmar's throat. However, even so seriously wounded, the hero shoter managed to draw his handgun and fire four bullets into the assailant before collapsing. The terrorist animal was shot dead. Barukh haShem!
