Idiots: Israel Prisons Authority ensures Eden Atias' murderer has dinner with his friends
Here's Hussein Rawarda, the murderer of IDF soldier Eden Atias HY"D (May God Avenge his blood), having dinner with his cellmates the night after the murder.
Forget for a minute that this piece of drek ought to be subsisting on the bare minimum of bread and water until he is put to death slowly and painfully.
The State of Israel has kept Yigal Amir, the alleged assassin of Yitzchak Rabin, in isolation since 1995. Why does this human garbage deserve better?

Finally: No more free college for terrorists (who haven't started yet)
Yes, I realize that the title of this post probably sounds absurd to anyone who has not been reading this blog for a while. But yes, 'Palestinian' terrorists serving time in Israeli jails were entitled to free university education (at the expense of Israeli taxpayers). Until now. Finally, the Supreme Court has decided that
the terrorists are different from other prisoners.
The High Court ruled Tuesday that terrorist security prisoners were
not eligible for free university education in Israeli schools. The
permission and assistance extended to prisoners convicted of criminal
activities that supplies them with free courses and degree programs at
Israel's Open University does not apply to prisoners convicted of terror
activities, the court ruled.
The ruling came in response to a lawsuit
by three terrorist prisoners who claimed they were being discriminated
against because prison authorities refused to enroll them in an Open
University program and pay their tuition. The Open University offers
extensive distance-learning programs, enabling students to do coursework
via the Internet, with scheduled meetings with mentors.
The court said that discrimination was
not an issue in the case. “The court has ruled in the past and continues
to rule that the differences in treatment of criminal and terrorist
prisoners is not due to discrimination. We believe the same applies to
education,” said the three judges who heard the case.
But the court still expects the prisons service to be kind and considerate to the terrorists.
With that, the court said that the prison system should be “considerate”
in deciding what to do with terrorists who are already in the midst of
academic programs. “We think it would be worthy to consider those in the
midst or close to the end of an academic program separately from those
who have not yet begun a course of study,” the court said. “If the
prisons decide not to continue funding the education of those prisoners,
they will be free to file petitions with district courts on the
matter.”
Terrorists have a right to a free college education at the expense of the Israeli taxpayer. How absurd!

Planner of Seder Night massacre among those to be released (including the entire list)
Somebody find Naomi Ragen (she was at the Park Hotel that night) quickly and tell her about
this.
The list contains includes Walid Anajas, who was convicted for his involvement in the bombing of the Moment Cafe in Jerusalem in 2002. Twelve civilians were murdered and 54 injured in the attack.
Also on the list is Nasser Yataima, convicted of planning the 2002 Passover Seder suicide-bomb attack on the Park Hotel in Netanya, in which 30 civilians were killed and 140 were wounded.
Also included is Chris al-Bandak, the only known Christian member of the Fatah Tanzim terror group, convicted of several shooting attacks which claimed the lives of two Israelis and seriously injured a third in 2002.
Musab Hashlemon, of Hebron, sentenced to 17 life sentences for dispatching two suicide bombers to Beersheba, will be released. Sixteen civilians were murdered when the bombers detonated themselves on two buses in central Beersheba in 2004.
Hashlemon was released in the previous prisoner exchange deal for Elhanan Tenenbaum, when Hashlemon was a minor Hamas operative, according to Maariv. He will be deported to Gaza.
Ibrahim Jundiya, sentenced to 12 life sentences for dispatching a suicide bomber to a Jerusalem bus in 2002, will also be deported to Gaza. Eleven bus passengers were murdered in the bombing which occurred in Jerusalem's Kiryat Menahem neighborhood.
I'm posting an Excel sheet with the full list of those to be released below. Concentrate on the ones marked LS (for Life Sentence). The numbers in front of LS are the numbers of 'life sentences' to which they were originally sentenced.

Let them starve themselves to death
Depending upon whom you believe, somewhere between 160 and 500 'Palestinian' terrorists being held in Israeli jails are on a hunger strike to protest what al-Reuters has the audacity to call '
worsening prison conditions' for 'Palestinian' terrorists.
Hundreds of Palestinians in Israeli jails have joined a hunger strike to protest against worsening prison conditions, the Palestinian Authority minister for prisoner affairs said on Monday.
Issa Qaraqea told Reuters that some 500 prisoners in Israeli jails were refusing to eat, rapidly swelling the ranks of the protest which began last week.
The strike was called after Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu toughened restrictions on Palestinian prisoners as part of an effort to force Hamas to free kidnapped IDF soldier Gilad Schalit.
Sivan Weizman, a spokeswoman for Israel's Prisons Service, said only 160 prisoners were on a hunger strike and that some of them stopped eating six days ago.
"They are all under medical supervision and none is in danger," she said, adding that they were all drinking water.
Some of you may recall - although Reuters doesn't say it - that the '
worsening conditions' are things like the ability to pursue academic degrees while serving their sentences, and the use of satellite television and cell phones. Some 'worsening conditions.'
Israel should let these terrorists starve themselves to death. It would be much easier to agree to an exchange of dead terrorists for (a hopefully living) Gilad Shalit instead of live terrorists.

Where's the follow-through?
Remember how Prime Minister Netanyahu made a big deal of announcing that he was going to
cut back on the privileges of Hamas terrorists who are held in Israeli jails? Well, I'm sure you'll all be shocked to hear that the 'Palestinians' have already had a '
hunger strike,' but there hasn't been any
change in their conditions yet.
The only change since the Prime Minister's declaration is that Hamas prisoners may not register for academic courses – but prisoners with only one exam left can take it and receive a degree.
The Prison Services representatives said that the benefits were not canceled in order to keep peace and quiet in the prisons, but they would consider further changes to worsen Hamas prisoners' conditions.
The Interior Committee meeting, which was closed to the media, was initiated by Coalition Chairman MK Ze'ev Elkin (Likud), MK Michael Ben-Ari (National Union) and MK Tzipi Hotovely (Likud).
Elkin said: "It can't be that the Prime Minister's policy isn't implemented by Prison Services. I expect them to take steps to worsen the prisoners' conditions and stop their day camp once and for all."
Hotovely complained that Schalit "in Hamas captivity, where no one can visit him or know his condition, but we let prisoners stay in a five-star hotel." The Likud MK called for legislation to be drafted that would change the current situation.
Ben-Ari blamed Netanyahu and Public Security Minister Itzhak Aharonovitch for not worsening Hamas prisoners' conditions.
"Netanyahu and Aharonovitch speak strongly, but they are letting the prisoners continue their party," he said. "Only in Israel do terrorists, including murderers of women and children, get such privileges."
What could go wrong?

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.
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.
Let them go on a hunger strike for as long as they want. Heh.
