Palestinian Prisoners to Begin Hunger Strike

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


 

According to news coming out of Ramallah from the Palestinian Prisoners Club, the ‘harsh’ change in Israeli government policy towards the living conditions of Palestinian prisoners held captive in their jails is being challenged by their plan for a hunger strike on July 3.

At the close of last Thursday’s Presidential conference, PM Netanyahu announced that his government has decided to toughen the conditions of Palestinian prisoners sitting in Israeli prisons. “Israel is taking a series of steps to change the prisoners’ conditions. We will stop among other things, the absurd practice in which Palestinian prisoners enroll in academic studies. The celebration is over… There will be no more doctorates of terror.”  This refers to the generous policy that prisoners are able to advance their education while serving out their sentences. These actions are all being proposed in direct response to Hama’s continued rejection of the International Red Cross’ demand to allow them to visit Gilad Schalit, the prisoner they kidnapped five years, and Hamas’ complete refusal to bend under international pressure to release him.

The Palestinian prisoners are responding to ‘normal, everyday’ human rights that they have enjoyed and grown accustom to, treatment they had been receiving that is in direct contrast to the horrendous and inhumane treatment Israelis receive in Palestinian prisons, including Gilad Schalit. So, now they have grievances and they want the rest of the world to know about it.

In an answer to a member of the Knesset, Internal Security Minister Yitzhak Aharonovitch responded about prisoner privileges by stating: “Security prisoners, unlike criminal prisoners, are not entitled to vacations, conjugal visits, the use of cell phones, education and the services of a social worker…In terms of visits they are entitled to one 45-minute visit every fortnight from immediate family with a partition present.” He also added “that visits will be held only once a month in the Keziot Prison. As for academic studies, prisoners were previously given the opportunity to enroll in classes in the Open University. In recent years I have taken a number of steps to reduce studies and was instructed last month to altogether cease the option of studies.”

The new policy conditions include putting hundreds of Palestinians prisoners in solitary confinement and isolation, and at least one third have been denied family visitation rights, with only the immediate relatives of the ages of 70 and over or 14 and under able to apply for this benefit. The parents and families of these prisoners have been officially told that they will not be permitted to visit their children in Israeli jails, just as Noam and Aviva Schalit have been denied visitation rights to their son, Gilad for the past five years. And in reaction to the threatened hunger strike Aharonovitch remarks: “They can strike all they want, nothing will deter myself and the Prison Service.”

      I had a dream that I was sitting in my house and a light was shining in my window. The Curtin was closed but the light was really bright and as I walked closer to the Curtin the light got brighter so bright that I closed my eyes and I just knew who it was. I put my head down and said that I can not look upon you. He called my name and told me I could look up. I said that I can not look upon you and even in a dream I did not feel worthy to look up. He told me I could look up. I looked up and it was Jesus and words could not describe how I felt. The next thing I knew we were walking outside we were not alone. There were other persons are angles around us I could not see them clearly they were out of focus. I know we talked but I don’t remember him saying anything. I can still remember the smile I had on my face as we walked for a while. The angles stayed in a circle around us as we walked and then I woke up back in bed.
      It was two or three days later I had another dream. This dream was something that I will never forget. I was in a ship that was huge and there were so many people that I could not count them all. They were all scared but remained quite. There were men and woman all being packed in a room and I seen why they were being so quite. The sight of these things made me shake with fear. They were tall and wide at the shoulders with very bony arms there face was sunken in like a rotting pumpkin. There whole body glowed slightly like a dim light and they had a hump on there back. Words are hard to describe the fear that I seen in everyone. The things that were in control of what was going on were pushing the people in the room and there was no more room for anyone. Then the metal door slid shut really fast and cut one man in half. What was left of him fell on the floor dead. Then I heard screaming from the room and the other man that was still standing beside the dead man on the floor. These things then pointed some kind of weapon at the man that was still alive and killed him. They both lay dead on the floor and I seen what I would call a spirit rise up out of both of them. The men were talking to each other almost laughing with one another saying that they can’t do anything to us now. That was not the case they pointed there weapons at them and literally caught there soul on fire. I will spare you the sounds. Then they went from souls on fire to two tiny lights witch got bigger and brighter and each light became a small child that stood before these things. They were beautiful and perfect except they were made of pure white light. They had the deepest blue eyes I have ever seen and I started to cry as these things took hold of these children. These things had a knife of light and began to skin these little children. I closed my eyes I could not take any more to see are hear these little children scream in agony. I woke up and could not sleep wondering what I seen. It was so real yet seemed so far out of reality that this could ever happen. I knew that walking with Jesus was the greatest dream ever and sense the dreams where so close together what did it all mean? I know without a doubt what would make people get on these ships. I was wide awake standing up when the Lord God picked me up with his right hand and I was sitting in his hand in the air. It really was the twinkling of an eye and I thought I was going to heaven. I seen myself in his hand and it was huge. He showed me the view form his eyes that I was in his hand. It was at that second that I knew that the glory of the Lord Almighty and it was truly amazing he is the KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Then I was right back where I was standing. I went to my bible and opened it to Jeremiah 23:28. The Prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? Saith the Lord.
      DANIEL 2:31-35
      Secret known to neb-u-chad-nez’zar of what shall be in the later days.
      The king neb-u-chad-nez’zar saw a great image. This is God.
      The image of the terrible stood before God . This is a nephilim.
      God cut out the stone without hands which smote the image of iron and clay (nephilim) and broke them to pieces.
      Then God went up and all the nephilim were carried away and no place would be found for them. They became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. We are the fourth kingdom that is divided and the iron mixed with clay is the nephilim. They will mingle with the seed of man but shall not cleave. This is the sky and this is the Vail God put up and sealed until the later days. This is the valley of the shadow of death. The all seeing eye that the founders of this country left us clues to see. This is why men’s hearts will fail them because in the hour of temptation the Vail will be lifted and the inequities will be more than the hairs on your head and the world will face this. Except the 144000. Then the dead in Christ will rise and also in this same hour the Lord will rebuke us .The ones that remain will be caught up in the air to meet the Lord . The ships are called birds in the bible and they deal fear and I have seen the evil that is after a man under the sun. Luke 17;34 two men in one bed one will be taken. This is not the Lord that takes him but the nephilim. Two Woman grinding one will be taken. We must not fear the earthquake or answer the call of the bird (nephilim). Many will be deceived by the news saying that it’s a pole shift are these super storms that they are calling hypercain. It makes the geological time frame close to the bible. Repent and hold fast the Lord will come. Whoever shall seek to save there life will lose it, Whoever will lose there life will preserve it.

      IF, Israel wanted peace, it would FLOOD Concentration Camp GAZA with food and healthy economic activity. Did America launch massive assaults and shoot Black American Women and Children dead in the streets or use Jet Fighters and launch Artillery and Missiles into CIVILIAN areas? NO! Israel does so because Israel wants Ethnic Cleansing, NOT peace. Where is Israel’s Recognition of the PALESTINIAN’S RIGHT to EXIST!? Israel demands the Palestinians “repudiate” this and that …Does Israel REPUDIATE the TORAH???? Israel was White RACIST, APARTHEID, South Africa’s ONLY ally, trading weapons, torture techniques, NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY, with them. Today Israel continues Racist APARTHEID with it’s wall. Israel enforces laws that are straight out of Nazi Germany such as Palestinians must have different colored ID cards and license plates, JUST like the yellow stars the Jews WAIL about having to wear. Palestinians have to use separate roads, IDENTICAL to Black OR Whites Only drinking faucets.
      Israel and South Africa were virtually twinned as military allies for Pretoria helped supply Israel militarily in the immediacy of its 1973 setback and Israel came to support apartheid South Africa at the height of sanctions with weaponry and technology – from naval ships and the conversion of supersonic fighter planes to assistance in building six nuclear bombs and the creation of a thriving arms industry. Israel resembles apartheid South Africa at its zenith – even surpassing its brutality, house demolitions, removal of communities, targeted assassinations, massacres, imprisonment and torture of its opponents and the aggression against neighbouring states.
      Israel just PRETENDS to care about African Americans (but look how Israel treats Blacks at home), so they can STEAL the taxdollars that SHOULD have been repairing schools and infrastructure and providing police protection in the Cities. Year after year BILLIONS of African American Tax dollars buy more APARTHEID-suppression for the NATIVE PEOPLE of PALESTINE instead of improving life for the Black American People who earned those dollars.
      “It is unacceptable that nations made up of people who have only just come down from the trees should take themselves for world leaders . . . How can such primitive beings have an opinion of their own?” – Yitzhak Shamir, in reference to the black African nations who voted in support of the 1975 U.N. resolution, which denounced Zionism as a form of racism, in Yediot Ahronot, November 14, 1975.

      Ethiopian Jewish student – not allowed to study at new school
      Several months ago, a religious school in the illegal Israeli settlement of Immanuel was criticized for segregating white Jewish students from non-white Jewish students in classes. Originally, the school was fined for this policy of racial segregation, because the school was state funded. Now, the Israeli education ministry has agreed with the white parents’ request to allow the school to continue with its racial discrimination under private funding.
      There is no law preventing racial discrimination by priyvate organizations, even schools, in Israel.
      The Israeli court has interpreted these laws to also apply to illegal West bank settlements, like Immanuel, which are located in areas that are supposed to be under Palestinian control. The Palestinian Authority does not allow racial discrimination, but due to the Israeli military occupation of the Palestinian Territories, it has no authority over the area in question. 74 white girls who have been studying in a building next to the school will now be allowed to study in whites-only classrooms that are privately funded, as their parents claim they do not want their girls to study in racially-mixed classrooms.

      “74 white girls who have been studying in a building next to the school will now be allowed to study in whites-only classrooms”

      Wait untill the zionist decide to play the race card in the USA and turn blacks on whites and then you are going to see a real blood bath if people are fooled as usual.

      LEGAL JUSTIFICATION FOR ATTACKS ON GENTILES
      Conservative interpretations of Jewish law, currently being used to justify resettlement of Palestinians and even total removal of all non-Jews from greater Palestine and adjacent areas have long been used to justify acts such as the attack on the USS Liberty, bombings of US facilities in Egypt and, less openly, “false flag” terror attacks attributed to Muslims but performed by Israeli security forces. Rabbi Yitzhak Shapira and Rabbi Yosef Elitzur, seen as the ethical conscience behind the Netanyahu government have taken the following position as reported by Jonathan Cook:
      “In the 230-page book, Shapira and his co-author, Rabbi Yosef Elitzur (The King’s Torah,currently Israel’s best selling book) argue that Jewish law permits the killing of non-Jews in a wide variety of circumstances. They write that Jews have the right to kill Gentiles in any situation in which “a non-Jew’s presence endangers Jewish lives” even if the Gentile is “not at all guilty for the situation that has been created”.
      The book sanctions the killing of non-Jewish children and babies: “There is justification for killing babies if it is clear that they will grow up to harm us, and in such a situation they may be harmed deliberately, and not only during combat with adults.”
      The rabbis suggest that harming the children of non-Jewish leaders is justified if it is likely to bring pressure to bear on them to change policy. The authors also advocate committing “cruel deeds to create the proper balance of terror” and treating all members of an “enemy nation” as targets for retaliation, even if they are not directly participating in hostile activities.” (false flag terrorism)
      This rationale allows deadly force to be used against Christians if their deaths advance the cause of Israeli security even if only through economic profit. Thus, if an attack such as 9/11 were to lead to America fighting wars against enemies of Israel or if, as in Afghanistan, Israeli companies were to profit from weapons or narcotics sales, any deaths of gentiles, no matter how innocent, would be justified by Jewish law as stated in the Torah.

      Americans who do not protest the money sent to Israel are colluding in the brutalization of Palestinians and of those who stand in solidarity with them. Please urge all to engage in bds (boycott/divestment/sanctions) and to insist that the American government stop sending Israel $3 billion in military aid!
