Crimson > The New York Times, citing anonymous U.S. and Israeli officials, reported Tuesday that United States and Israel were considering a campaign to starve the Palestinian Authority of cash so Palestinians would grow disillusioned with Hamas and bring down a Hamas government. . . Looks like the Palestinians have no choice but to go on hunger strike. Same as Saddam. english.aljazeera.net >>Saddam Hussein, the former Iraqi president, has announced in court that he and his co-defendants are on hunger strike to protest at tough stances by the chief judge in a heated start to the latest session of his trial. Saddam shouted his support for the Iraqi anti-US fighters, yelling "Long live the Arab nation" and "Long live the mujahidin," as he entered the courtroom and immediately began a heated exchange with Rauf Abdel Rahman, the chief judge, on Tuesday. "For three days we have been holding a hunger strike protesting against your way in treating us - against you and your masters," Saddam told Abdel Rahman, who in Monday's session ordered the eight defendants to attend the court despite a boycott by their original defence team. Taha Yassin Ramadan, former vice-president, shouted: "You kick out our lawyers, you bring in witnesses by force and those that testify against us are anonymous - is there a trial like this anywhere else in the world?"<<
