Those prisoners starving themselves, what the hell is going on in this crazy world!!!!

Pro Palestine activists are on a hunger strike, I really hope you get the result you want, the people of Gaza remember you seven kids who died for…… oh for them! 😂

I watched an interesting interview months ago now a young guy who was born in Israel then his father ended up being one of the head chiefs ( killers) in Hamas he know lives back in Israel after escaping…. His wise words were…. ‘ you lot in the west have no idea what is going on, with your protests and flags, stop trying to get involved in something we can and won’t be able to change’
This comes from a person on both sides who stayed very humble but very blunt.

Stop your silly little hunger strike, go and enjoy time with your family and friends you are lucky enough to be able to do that.

The difference they are making is not turning a blind eye to a full blown genocide. Cowardly leaders might not take notice but they are encouraging people to talk about it instead of ignoring what is happening. Point proven right now as every person on this thread is talking about it.
It might not seem a lot, but they are doing something.
World leaders who can do something won't, and people with a lot less power such as the hunger strikers are doing what little they can.

What do you think they should do?

Their on a rolling hunger strike meaning that they're only skipping food for a couple of days then they start eating and another 1 or 2 stop eating. Its not a real hunger strike unlike the IRA hunger strikers who started dieing after 40 days and I don't remember any of them making it past 44 days yet the PA terrorists are on day 47 with no deaths, which tells you all you need to know about the conversations of these idiots

So they're Intermittent Fasting?

All that autophagy should be doing wonders for their bodies.

I disagree, we in the West are finally realising what is actually going on in Israel and I have nothing but admiration for these young people who are willing to take a stand for justice.

They should be applauded for trying to prevent our country from being complicit in a genocide.

They’re not, they’re taking a stand against their legal and valid remand status in prison.

They are trying to make a difference however small.

What difference exactly do you think they are going to make? Do you think any world leader who has any influence at all over what is happening in Gaza is going to take a blind bit of notice?

Maybe they should have a word with Hamas and get them to release the aid they are stockpiling

It’s quite interesting to see the whole “what?? Why don’t you plebs listen to us who are clearly better and more educated than you?!!! We’re telling you what to think so do it!!”

winterbluess · 18/12/2025 22:16

Bunch of idiots.. if they want to starve, crack on for all I care. The only thing they're doing is wasting nhs time.

ThomasinaHardy · 18/12/2025 21:24

They're arseholes. Let them. I don't imagine a single one of them has any intention of starving to death and if they do...well, they're over 21 aren't they. Crack on.

It's a plastic threat from plastic people with plastic heads.

Edited

My sentiments too ! Also I’m sure they are eating every 48 hours ? ……

This, attention seeking over privileged little idiots. Also their supporters with the ridiculous blaming others. These stupid idiots are fully in control of their health. They’re choosing to starve

Show quote history

Yep. Their choice, their fault. A shame if they waste their lives that way, but a group who want to endanger our security as this lot have simply cannot be allowed to continue.

In fact with the actual starvation happening in Gaza, the pathetic whinging attention seeking of these twats is more horrendous

I don’t think so. One of them has ended up in hospital. That doesn’t happen from skipping a meal.

Could be for any reason. They weren’t in a hurry to call one and when they did they were released ‘safe’ within hours.

Not only that, but are they not doing it in turns so only 1 of them is “on strike” at a time? Basically skipping a meal? Come and work on an nhs ward where we constantly skip meals as understaffed!! 😆

They are adults and they have the right to not eat.
We should not take away that right. Their choice….

Agree. They’re such idiots. Their demands are wholly unreasonable. Why should we care less about them?
