Hunger strike? What hunger strike?
You will recall that at the closing session of the President's Conference on Thursday, Prime Minister Netanyahu announced that in response to Hamas' refusal to allow the Red Cross to see kidnapped IDF Corporal Gilad Shalit, Israel would revoke all of the 'special privileges' accorded to Hamas terrorists in Israeli jails.In response, the terrorists were supposed to go on a one-day hunger strike on Monday, which the Prisons Service would be just fine with them doing (it saves us money on their food!). But the terrorists forgot to go on strike. They're all eating today.
There is no evidence of a hunger strike by Palestinian security prisoners at any of the country's prisons, an Israel Prison Service spokeswoman told The Jerusalem Post on Monday.Let them go on a hunger strike for as long as they want. Heh.
The comments came after several reports appeared on Sunday claiming that a Hamas body responsible for prisoners had coordinated a hunger strike in response to steps by Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to limit certain conditions for the prisoners, such as high speed internet access, frequent family visits, and courses resulting in MA and PhD degrees.

"There have been no reports of hunger strike or a return of meals," the Israel Prison Service spokeswoman said said on Monday.
Public Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch said he was not concerned by the threat of a hunger strike, Israel Radio reported.
"They can strike as much as they like," he was quoted as saying.

Israel should do nothing to save their lives. If they kill themselves, it saves Israeli taxpayers the cost of having to house, feed and educate them.
No wonder they weren't so eager to go on a hunger strike!
Haha it seems all that welfare has fatted them up and turned them from being loud-mouthed hooligans into loud-mouthed couch potatoes!
From the article; "... limit certain conditions for the prisoners, such as high speed internet access, frequent family visits, and courses resulting in MA and PhD degrees." -------------- Why are these terrorists receiving any of this in the first place. What kind of prison is Israel running? It sounds better than living in the gaza or PA controlled "refugee" camps.
