HOW DARE THE ISRAELI OPPRESSORS force feed Palestinian prisoners illegally held in Israeli prisons for simply trying - and often succeeding - to kill Israeli men, women, and children.
The nerve!
Damned if they do and damned if they don't - as Solomon allegedly said, there is nothing new under the sun, and for the Israelis this truth marches on.
OK, I know that suicide is prohibited under JEWISH law, but the hunger strikers are not Jews.
I know we (Jews) are obliged to preserve life, but the people refusing to eat are in prison because they attacked Jews. The Talmud Bavil tells us if a person comes to kill you, kill him first (Berakoth 58a based on Shemot 22 1).
While these people came to kill Jews - along with the occasional non-Jew - since they are incarcerated - having been tried and convicted - Israel cannot, or at least should not - kill the prisoners.
ON THE OTHER HAND, Israel need not force feed the prisoners whose sole intent is to be released from gaol so they can prove recidivism reigns and they can again attack Israeli men, women, and children, all the while gaining honors and income from their masters in the PA (an organization that, while existing only on the charity of others, will not pay its debts but it can pay stipends to terrorists in Israeli jails and pensions to survivors of terrorists killed in the act).
I truly am surprised that a hew and cry has not (yet) arisen from the ranks of the liberal, terrorist sympathizers of the world or from the ranks of the sponsors of terrorism, e.g., Iran, Saudia, complaining that the (once) Zionists are forcing food down the prisoners' throats or nutrition into their veins.
I hardly am a liberal, but here I agree: FORCE FEEDING PRISIONERS IS WRONG AND INHUMAN. If they want to die of hunger, let them. It is an almost painless way to commit suicide. Not as fast as a suicide/murder bomb favored by many Islamic terrorists, and only the striker dies by this method.
WHERE ARE THE LEFTISTS, THE LIBERALS, THE BLEEDING HEARTS? Why aren't they protesting the Israelis inhumane treatment of Palestinian terrorists who are being force fed, whose civil and human rights are being so blatantly violated by their Israeli jailers.
Let them die
It is their privilege and their right.
