Major Media Response

US major media scoundrels ignore him. They support Israel's worst crimes. Others abroad noticed belatedly. On February 16, London Guardian writer Harriet Sherwood headlined, "Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan 'near death' in Israel detention," saying:

After two months without food "shackled to bed in an Israeli hospital," he risks imminent death. Petitioning Israel's High Court for help, one of his lawyers, Mahmoud Kassandra, said:

"This is the last chance. The medical report says he could die at any minute. We hope this will succeed but I am not optimistic."

So far, no Court hearing's been scheduled. It rarely intervenes in these type issues, but can convene on short notice other times.

Hundreds of Palestinians are held administratively without charge. "Many protesters say Adnan has become a symbol of Israel's occupation and its treatment of prisoners."

On February 17, London Independent writer Donald MacIntyre headlined, "Khader Adnan: The West Bank's Bobby Sands," saying:

In mid-December, Adnan was seized violently "at 3:30am by some scores of Israeli military and security personnel who surrounded the family home" south of Jenin. 

Weak after two months without food, he faces "immediate danger of death." Though activist for years, "his family insists that he has never been involved in violence; nor has he been charged with it. Indeed, on this occasion, he has not been charged with any crime."
