Some 1600 Palestinians in Israeli prisons will go on an open-ended hunger strike as of April 17, the Palestinian Authority Minister for Prisoner Affairs, Issa Qaraqi, announced Saturday.
The prisoners are demanding an end to administrative detentions and solitary confinement and that Israel permit families from the Gaza Strip to visit their sons in prison. They are also demanding that Israel cancel its decision to ban academic studies and newspapers.
The prisoners who will go on hunger strike are affiliated with Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine.

Wouldnt it be nice if their victims could go on a hunger strike to protest Hamas, Islamic Jihad, and all of the other terror groups these people are members of or support?
Hunger strike? oh well – no great loss
Great!! imagine all the money that will be saved on feeding these leaches.
