The Right to Cell Phone

The American Spectator has a good article about the Palestinian prisoner hunger strike.

In Israel this week Palestinian terrorists are using the old liberal prop of the hunger strike to demand that they be allowed to coordinate terrorist strikes from Israeli jail cells. Fourteen-hundred Palestinian prisoners say that they will starve themselves to death unless their Israeli jailers provide them with phones, allow them to meet visitors unimpeded by security glass, and stop strip searching them. Perhaps cell phones in jail can be added to the United Nations' catalogue of rights.

Meanwhile, Israel is planning barbecues in the jails to try to entice the prisoners to break their strike.
