Sherri, whatever health issues Adnan has as a result of his hunger strike are issues from HIS choice - nobody else's.  It's just that simple.

Had they forced him to accept nutrition, no doubt you'd be scraming about what monsters they were - not praising them for trying to save his life.

The hypocrisy is duly noted.

Leah,

We are not dealing with a hunger strike by Khader Adnan, anymore. We are dealing with the issue of him getting proper present medical care and his continued mistreatment and his continued unlawful detention, all problems that remain.

I certainly do not believe he should have been force fed, there is intl precedent that makes that unlawful, I understand. Your accusing me of Hypocrisy for something I did not say or do is noted.

Throughout time, people of conscience have chosen fasts and not eating to confront injustice and for other faith reasons. I do not expect such practices to end here.

Sherri 

While it's regrettable that you want to deny any connection between Adnan's self-inflicted hunger strike and his current medical condition, it's just not factual nor reasonable to do so.  Not buying what you're trying to sell there, Sherri.

  When I don't recognize a term somone else uses, I look it up. 

Reading these posts and pausing for a moment I remember an American hostage in Iran and non-stop news coverage here in Oz. Yet hardly a whisper about this young man.

I don't know whether he is making any news internationally but either way, how can Israel allow themselves this behavior?

Saddam and Bin Laden were treated better. At least they had quick death.

Blaming Israel for a perceived lack of media coverage in OZ is hardly reasonable.  

I certainly did not; should I have?
