Female Palestinian prisoner Hana Shalabi, who has been on a hunger strike since February 16, has been hospitalized.

“Hana Shalabi was transferred this evening to Israel’s Meir hospital after her state of health deteriorated,” Palestinian Prisoner Affairs Minister Issa Qaraqaa said on Monday.

An independent doctor from Physicians for Human Rights-Israel who examined Shalabi said her life was at risk. The doctor described a weakening of her muscles, weight loss of 14 kilograms, and a very weak pulse.

She has been on a hunger strike since her arrest in the northern West Bank on February 16. She was originally ordered to be detained without trial for six months.

Although Shalabi was among more than 1,000 Palestinian prisoners released in October 2011 in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit, she was later re-arrested and sent back to prison.

    The predictable reaction and hypocritical contradictions in that is expressed excellently by James Petras below.

    The bloody genocidal crimes of the "Triple Alliance," the "Western, Israeli and Gulf State-funded power grab" by the "Washington-EU-Riyadh-Tel Aviv axes" of "Washington, Riyadh, Tel Aviv, Ankara and London," are exposed for what they are.
