Palestinian prisoners have been on hunger strikes. Here are some of their names and how long they’ve been without food:
Bilal Thiab: 76 Days
Thaer Halahleh: 76 Days
Hassan Safadi: 70 Days
Omar Abu Shallal: 68 Days
Mohammedd Al-Taj: 60 Days
Mahmoud Sarsak: 54 Days
Faris Al-Natur: 47 Days
Ja’far Ezz Al-Din: 53 Days
Abdallah Al-Barghouthi: 32 Days
more than 2000 prisoners: 27 Days
All they are asking for is their basic rights as prisoners of war, visitation rights, right of education and other rights that are declared by international law.
This is Khader Adnan, the first prisoner to go on hunger strike. Reblog this. Let the world know what Israel is doing to our men. The poster he’s holding says: “Their strike is our dignity.”

When Thomas brought the news that the house
I was born in no longer exists -
neither the name,
nor the park sloping to the river,
nothing -
I had a dream of return.
Multicoloured.
Joyous.
I was able to fly.
And the trees were even higher than in childhood,
because they had been growing during all the years
since they had been cut down.
