UN Worried About Paleo Diet Plan

U.N. voices concern over hunger-striking Palestinians in Israeli jails
STEVE WEIZMAN - Friday, August 27, 2004 11:06 PDT
JERUSALEM -- United Nations Mideast peace envoy Terje Roed-Larsen Friday urged Israeli prison authorities to ensure the well-being of Palestinian prisoners on their 13th day of a hunger strike. A U.N. statement said Roed-Larsen also called on both the Israelis and the prisoners to renew efforts to end their dispute, over prison conditions and visiting rights.
"And here's a nice set of Richard Simmons' Deal-a-Meal cards to get you started."
Among the approximately 2,600 strikers' demands are transfer to prisons along the borders between Israel and the West Bank and Gaza Strip or in Israeli-held parts of the Palestinian areas, which would facilitate family visits.
Along with this very long list of demands.
Larsen reminded Israel of its obligations under a U.N. convention and "relevant international human rights instruments which provide for the protection of detainees and prisoners." A U.N. press release said Larsen urged Israeli authorities to "comply with its international obligations and to make every effort to find, with the prisoners, an appropriate resolution to the hunger strike."

#11  "The prisoners in Ashkelon prison are stopping their hunger strike until Monday as they have reached a partial agreement with the prison administration there,"

Until Monday? I didn't know hunger strikes had lunch breaks. Typical Paleo bullshit.

5. To give back kitchen equipment that was taken away from prisoners in all "security" prisons
6. To change old kitchen utensils and replace them with new ones

WTF??

If the prisoners croak due to their refusal to eat, I'd say that the hunger strike (for each individual, that is) was "resolved"...

#2  I'm worried too. An all juice diet can give them the runs. Limit them to water only.

#1  Excuse me. Fuck the UN. They have done nothing to help solve this intractable problem of Paleos wanting to murder every man, woman and child in Israel. In fact they have been a hinderance to Israel protecting it's self. STFU and get out of the way UN. If these dimbulb Paleos starve themselves to death ( something that Israel will never allow BTW) too freeking bad.
