#1 Israeli prison authorities say they have not yet encountered any health problems among the prisoners, but is monitoring the situation.

A one-day fast usually doesn't.

#2 A one-day fast usually doesn't.

When Jews fast it's to atone for sins and to resolve to do better. Seems that when palis fast it's to get the Jews to resolve to do better too.

#4 The liquids-only protest

Isreal should refuse them the liquids too. No telling what kind of nutritious vitamins and minereals have been sneaked into the water to keep the prisoners going.

That and I want to see how long it takes before they start ~~Jihad~~ argueing over who gets the water in the toilet bowl.

#7 Start putting a mild solution of Epson Salts into their water. I mean, all that left over food in their bowels is like cheating, right?
