WORLD MEDIA AND THE PALESTINIAN HUNGER STRIKERS

They have

forgotten all their high-minded talk

of journalistic integrity,

of being the Fourth Estate.

Now they keep silent

out of deference,

out of fear or perhaps

indifference.

The obedient

little henchmen of Apartheid Israel,

silent as Samer Issawi

and Ayman Sharawna slowly die.
