’Israel’ Approves Force Feeding Hunger Striking Palestinian Prisoners: They Threaten Us
Local Editor
As the Palestinian prisoners inside the "Israeli" jails face the daily brutality of the Zionist entity, they found no arm other than hunger striking.
However, Tel Aviv government decided to end the sole weapon in the prisoners' hands.
"Israeli" ministers approved a bill Sunday that would allow prisoners on hunger strike to be force fed if their life is in danger, sparking criticism from health experts and rights groups.
The cabinet's endorsement of the bill was led by so-called "Internal Security" minister Gilad Erdan, who said that prisoners observing a hunger strike, namely Palestinians, pose a "threat" to "Israel".
"Alongside attempts to boycott and delegitimize "Israel", hunger strikes of "terrorists" in prisons have become a means to threaten "Israel"," Erdan said on his Facebook page.
The same bill was approved by the "Israeli" government last year and sent to the Knesset, which was dissolved before it could start deliberating.
The bill was initially approved in June 2014 at the height of a mass hunger strike of Palestinian prisoners during which 80 were hospitalized.
The majority of prisoners who go on hunger strike in the Zionsit entity are Palestinians in administrative detention, under which they held for renewable six-month periods without charge.
The Palestinian government last week warned "Israel" it was responsible for the health of Khadar Adnan, a detainee on hunger strike for over 40 days.
A spokeswoman for the "Israel" Prisons Service announced that besides Adnan, one other Palestinian prisoner was on hunger strike, for approximately one week.
Palestinian Resistance group Hamas on Sunday called for the immediate release of Adnan and Islam Hamad, a prisoner of the Palestinian Authority who has reportedly been on hunger strike for 63 days.
