Khader (and Family)-
I have followed your hunger strike with feelings of frustration, depression, and anxiety, but ultimately with a sense of awe. They shackle you down and taunt you while you are famished and physically weak, dear Khader, but they cannot eclipse or destroy your strength, your courage, your resilience, your triumph. The media subservient to power centers ignore you now, but after Palestine is free and Israeli apartheid has come to an end, your hunger strike will be clearly seen for what it is: a major blow stricken for the twin causes of freedom and justice.
So many people want you to live, Khader. But they also understand the reason for your sacrifice.
