(Comment to a misleading CNN report, part XXVIII.)
You mix lies with reality.
That's your problem.
My problem and the whole world's problem should be is that if Samer Issawi dies now, it could result in a new armed conflict through protests crushed by Israel, leading to more Palestinian deaths, response from Palestinian resistance fighters, the typical brutal and heavy-handed Israeli reaction and there could be a spiral of violence that could take hundreds if not thousands of lives.
Yet Western politicians prefer not to do anything to save Samer Issawi and other political prisoners on hunger strike, because they don't want or dare to apply any pressure - even behind the stage - to Israel's regime.
And Israel's regime doesn't care about lives. Especially not about Palestinian ones.
