Khader Adnan: dying 2 live – new poster

For many days now, Khader Adnan has been waging a principled hunger strike against the treatment of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. At the time of this blog post, his hunger strike has been going on for 58 days. Khader was imprisoned in December without any charges, a very common practice of the Israeli occupier. After having been subjected to torture and humiliation – which is also standard practice in Israeli jails in these cases – he decided he would no longer accept these humiliations, and went into a hunger strike.

 

For the majority of this time, the majority of media have been ignoring his brave stance, despite the outcry by Palestinian citizens. Now that his life is in real danger, some media have started to report on it, but more significant than this is the response of Palestinian public opinion. Today, determined protesters braved a rain of rubber bullets and tear gas as they rallied at Ofer prison near the Palestinian village of Beitunia. A large number of other Palestinian prisoners have joined his hunger strike, and more are joining every day. The total number of hunger strikers is now reported to have reached 80, some of them being already on their 20th day of going without food.

 

Despite the lack of media interest, and the failure of the Palestinian political establishment in the Palestinian Authority to respond to these hunger strikes in an appropriate way, nothing seems to be deterring Khader Adnan from continuing his refusal to take food. His act of bravery has united Palestinians across the entire spectrum of factions and political parties, and it seems to be inevitable that in the event of his death, there will be a strong response on the Palestinian street.

 

In this new poster, an attempt is made to support his action by making clear what his hunger strike is about. Khader Adnan has made it very clear that he is not doing this for his own sake, but for the sake of all Palestinian political prisoners who are subjected to the inhumane and barbaric practices of the only Ziocracy in the Middle East.
