There's a reason these convicted terrorists are in jail, and its not so Israel can provide you with a photocopier, refrigerator, and computer--among other things--in every cell. You want to have a hunger strike? Go ahead--hopefully Israel will respect any person's right to live or die by choice. From J.Post.com: Internal Security Minister Tzachi Hanegbi said Sunday that the Prisons Service will not negotiate with the prisoners and will not give in to any of their demands. "From my perspective, the Palestinians can strike for one day, a month, or even until death," Hanegbi said. On Monday, Arab MK Abdul Malek Dahamshe called on Prime Minister Ariel Sharon to fire Hanegbi in response to his "irresponsible remarks." "I have asked to remove Hanegbi from his position," Dahamshe said. "How can we allow a man who says he doesn't care if the prisoners starve to death to be responsible for the prisoner's wellbeing?"
