Palestinian political prisoner Samer Issawi is in an extremely critical condition after 260 days on hunger strike. He is in a ventilation machine, heartbeat is 21-24 per minute and he is getting injections to keep his heart working.
He is kept imprisoned without charge by Israel, which refuses to release him if he doesn't go to Gaza instead of to his home in Jerusalem. I am not going to become yet another refugee, was Samer's answer.
If he dies, there will be severe consequences, but world politicians don'tseem to care and media is silent, out of fear or deference towards Israel. People have been trying to get hashtags trending on Twitter to get international visibility, but after 34 succesful worldwide trendings for supportive hastags Twitter has started to censor us and our massive Twitterstorm this evening with thousands of tweets for example was not allowed to trend worldwide.
Social media is joining mainstream media being lackeys to Israel and the end result is going to cost many more human lives beyond Samer's, which could all be avoided if only the world would act before it's too late.
The only people who care beyond activists are hackers, who are just
now bringing down Israeli sites. IDF's own homepage was decorated
with Samer's picture, of which I at least am immensely grateful to all of those who were involved. They are heroes working to help a great hero of peaceful, non-violent resistance to brutal oppression.
