The Perfect Spot for a Barbecue

It turns out there are people who care whether terrorists eat their supper:

Terrorist mastermind Marwan Barghouti has organized a mass hunger strike by over 1000 imprisoned Palestinian terrorists.

He announced the hunger strike in The NY Times, which initially refused to list in his bio that he was in prison for 5 murders, NY Times gives Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti platform to announce hunger strike. Barghouti is considered a leading candidate to become president of the Palestinian Authority after Mahmoud Abbas, and the hunger strike is seen as a way to position himself politically.

At least the Times never leaves you guessing as to whose side it is on.

A prison festering with hunger-striking terrorists is the perfect spot for a barbecue:

National Union activists held a barbecue to taunt Palestinian prisoners on hunger strike Thursday.

The youth branch and secretary-general of the far-right party, which has two representatives in Bayit Yehudi, Agriculture Minister Uri Ariel and MK Bezalel Smotrich, set up grills outside the Ofer Prison to “celebrate the hunger strike” and “break the spirit” of the strikers, in hopes that the smell of the meat would waft into the prison.

The prisoners “will enjoy breathing in the smoke and suffer from the smell of the meat, and [we will] show them that we will not give in to their whims,” the group said.

Sadly, spoilsports from the Israeli police shut down the barbeque after only 45 minutes.
