i thought the mooosluuum way would be to starve a woman or a child !!after all they hide behind them,murder and rape them .Hossfly; irosie91; SherriMunnerlyn; et al,
Sometimes, I think we lose sight of what a "Prisoner Hunger Strike" really is; and its implications.
(COMMENT-Generalities)
In such events, there is always a "demand." The demand is either implicit or explicit, but it is always there. (Freedom, Publicity, Notoriety/Fame, Tangibles, etc)
The prisoner adopts a persona. They are a hero, maryr, or generally undeserving of the sentence (an innocent or desperate), etc.
The hunger strike is generally a combination of blackmail, hostage and threat.
- Given me "X" or I'll do "Y!"
When my oldest child was young, she would sometimes ask for something. On rare occasions, when I would deny her request, she would scream and then hold her breath until I capitulated. She was pretty good, and would sometimes hold it long enough to turn blue.In the case of most "Prisoner Hunger Strikes," the prisoner becomes both the blackmailer and the hostage with the threat:
This is not unlike my daughter holding her breath.
- Given me what I demand or I'll kill the hostage (himself).
In a "Prisoner Hunger Strike," the government has to make some decisions. In a normal hostage case, the Government would want to free the hostage from danger. This normally kicks-off a negotiation between the government and the hostage taker; with the first question being: What do you want? (The Demand.)
In a "Prisoner Hunger Strike" the weapon is food and the trigger is self denial.
- Given me my freedom or I'll starve the hostage (himself).
Given that you cannot free the hostage, what do you (The Government) have to consider?
Simultaneously, there is an investigation concerning the allegations made by the Prisoner. This is a moral obligation to determine if in fact, the demands are actually needed for health, safety or other rational concerns. Make no mistake, there are cases (few though they may be) when, the demands might actually improve the health and safety of the prisoner population and staff. But there is also the need to be demonstrably human in the treatment of prisoners.
- Do you have a policy to negotiate?
- What is the probability that the threat will be executed?
- What impact will the execution of the threat have?
- How will the law bidding taxpayer view capitulation 'v' status quo?
- What will the general prison population think? Will it inspire more strikes?
- Are the demands reasonable?
- What does the cost 'v' benefit analysis conclude?
- What precedent does capitulation set?
- What dangers does the capitulation present?
In terms of a medical intervention in a sour "Prisoner Hunger Strike," this has to be carefully considered and the reasoning (for and against) logically documented. This cannot be a subjective decision in the eyes of either the taxpayer or the prison population. The policy must be straight forward, very clear and understood by all.
There is no one single correct answer to the question of a "Prisoner Hunger Strike" and how to handle them. They each must be evaluated individually.
But remember what a "Prisoner Hunger Strike" really is: a combination of blackmail, hostage and threat. And if believable, gives you some insight into the persona of the inmate. It tells you something about "life" and how they consider it. They have put a price on it (The Demand).

Has this Palestinian moron died yet? I'll think of him next time Palestinians arbitrarily fire rockets at innocent Israeli civilians.

Typical Muslim Hater comment!
When you write to Samer, tell him Ol' Hoss says "arrivederci."![]()
Here is what Samer Issawi writes, after 156 days on his hunger strike:
"I suffer from severe headaches, spine pain, chest pain, muscles and joints pain, heartburn in stomach, vomiting yellow and green liquids, pains in kidney and cannot walk on my right foot. The doctors told me that I’m in a very difficult period every day passes in my hunger strike the risk increases to have a stroke, sudden paralysis or death. But I confirmed them that I will continue my hunger strike till my freedom. I was able to achieve 90% of my objectives in my hunger strike which were to deliver my voice to the Egyptians, the second goal is to maintain the achievements of the deal by preventing the re-arrest of liberated prisoners in the deal, I maintained the prestige of Egypt as a mediator in the deal and to preserve the blood of the martyrs in Gaza. So only still remain 10% only from my goals which is something small “My freedom”.
Over this long period, the occupation tried to afraid by doctors that I was close to death, but I am still and I will keep strong and continuing my hunger strike till freedom My victory is not only for me but for all who supported me by a letter, message, demonstrations, sit-ins, call, and pray. I want to thank my brothers who are on hunger strike in Red Cross in Jerusalem. You taught all that we are one nation, thank to the Jerusalemite prisoners committee and prisoners club."
And he ends thanking the sons of his village Issawiye who he describes as steadfast and proof that Jerusalem is an Arabic city and will remain Arabic.

Remember, Frau Sherri, he is allowed to state what he feels just like you evince your Jew and Israel hatred in different places on the Internet all day long. Besides, remember "sticks and stones, etc. etc." He is just talking while your friends are actually out murdering.i thought the mooosluuum way would be to starve a woman or a child !!after all they hide behind them,murder and rape them .Hossfly; irosie91; SherriMunnerlyn; et al,

Typical Muslim Hater Comment!
sherri you are an ardent supporter of Samer. When will you go an extended hunger strike to show your solidarity with him?

Typical Muslim Hater comment!
Hey witch, "Thou doth protest too much, methinks!"I am worried more about the wrong things our government supports, like the Oocupation in Palestine, than what others do that is bad somewhere in the world.It is our wrongs that makes me feel guilt and literally feel at times that my hands are covered in blood of the innocent we hurt and kill. That is what I have to take a stand against and oppose. Just listening to a crazy poster in the other thread support killings by Americans in mosques and call the killer a hero and listen to him speak hate against Obama. Those are the people to oppose, too, the people we will hear about tomorrow trying to kill the President or start shooting in a mosque in the US somewhere.
The costs for Palestinians to struggle to end Occupation are high, the struggle for freedom may call for one's life, like we see in the case of Samer Issawi.
It may take away liberty and freedom, as we see with thousands of political prisoners.
It may take the form of torture, where every day men and women and children are tortured and Occupiers try to torture confessions to crimes they did not commit out of them, that happened with Bassem Tamimi. He suffers permanent injuries from his tortures, when they previously almost killed him trying to get him to falsely confess to attacking an illegal settler. If anyone here wants to know the mind of an illegal settler, read Jeremiah's posts, the illegal settlers and their ilk are the ones who glorify killings of praying Muslims in mosques. Baruch Goldstein and the terrorist Kahane are their Heroes.
The struggle for freedom, the costs, are even seeing attacks upon one's own children

"Israeli soldiers arrest son of detained Palestinian activist at West Bank protest"
Ahrar The 16-year-old son of Bassem Tamimi, a detained Palestinian rights activist in the occupied West Bank, was himself arrested by Israeli soldiers today during the regular weekly protest against the encroachment of Israeli settlers onto Palestinian land. Waed Tamimi was arrested along with four activists during the demonstration on Friday afternoon in the West Bank village of al-Nabi Saleh, 21km northwest of Ramallah.
Yesterdays arrest of Waed Tamimi while he was walking peacefully in his village points to the continuing harassment of activist Bassem Tamimi, his family, and the community of al-Nabi Saleh by Israeli military forces, said Ann Harrison, Amnesty Internationals Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director. This harassment must stop. Waed Tamimi and the four others arrested in al-Nabi Saleh today must be allowed access to lawyers and should be released immediately unless they are to be charged with a recognizably criminal offence. His father Bassem is a prisoner of conscience, held solely for peacefully protesting Israels illegal settlement expansion, and must be released immediately and unconditionally.
