Brings to mind the Sopranos episode where Johnny Sack returns home unexpectedly to find his beloved and obese wife eating Kit Kat bars out of a pillow case on the laundry room floor. "I thought you were on the Atkins!"; 5/8/17, 5:50 PM
Ambrose said...: Of course, this is all Israel's fault. It was a perfectly good hunger strike until that barbecue in the prison parking lot weakened the prisoners' will.; 5/8/17, 5:51 PM

A dead terrorist is a good terrorist and if they want to make themselves good why stop them from making themselves good by force feeding them?; 5/8/17, 6:11 PM

Steven said...: Were I Netanyahu, I would have sent a bill to the Knesset. This bill would have specified that Israel would grant all the demands of the prisoners -- at the moment the death of Marwan Barghouti was certified as being from malnutrition.; 5/8/17, 8:59 PM
J. Farmer said...: Over the years I have come to the conclusion that it is next to impossible to have a rational discussion online on the subject of Israel. I truly do not understand how anyone possessing an even passing familiarity with the history of that region over the last 50 years cannot appreciate what a tangled, complex story it is. It is not a subject amenable to easy explanations or easy answers, and the ironclad certitude people seem to exhibit when the issue comes up suggests to me as much a matter of dogmatic idealism as it is a rational reading of the facts on the ground.; 5/8/17, 9:54 PM
Hunter said...: It is not hard to appreciate how tangled the history is. For me, it's also not hard to appreciate how much more good faith Israel has shown throughout that history than its Arab neighbors and the Palestinians.

If one is to accuse the Israelis of being cruel, it must be weighed with the provocations and attacks they have endured. Were Israel truly cruel, this problem would have been solved long ago in the manner that other countries in that region tend to solve problems.; 5/8/17, 11:56 PM

Corollary: the problems have only dragged on this long because the Israelis have been humane to the Palestinians. Jordan took care of business decades ago and they have much less crap to deal with.; 5/9/17, 4:55 AM
