    Israel top court takes Palestinian detainee appeal

    JERUSALEM (AP) — A spokeswoman for Israeli courts says the Supreme Court will hear the case of Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan after a military judge rejected his appeal earlier this month.

    Adnan, 33, has refused food since he was arrested in the West Bank in December. He is protesting an Israeli policy of holding Palestinian "administrative detainees" for months without trial, presented evidence or formal charges.

    The spokeswoman said on Monday that the Supreme Court will hear Adnan's appeal on Thursday. She spoke on condition of anonymity in line with court regulations.

    Adnan is the longest Palestinian detainee hunger strike in history. His doctors warned he may die before the hearing.

    Adnan was a spokesman for the militant group Islamic Jihad.

      The patriot act stained our democracy for ever. All detainees have to be charged and have a trial. We stand by laws not just go yaddah yaddah yaddah.

      I am glad that the Israelis can afford a Palestinian legal recourse outside racial chauvinism.

      For those who are buying Brenda's propaganda. Beware she is quoting fake sentences as Quran versus.

      This is some thing forces opposed to Islam have been involved in from the beginning days of Islam. This didn't help them then and it can't, I guess, help them now.

      I don't know precisely who is Brenda - but name looks Jewish. If this assumption is true - I call upon "such-type" of Jews to introspect what they're doing in their hay day.

      Life is a boom-rang - what goes around from you comes around to you. Or in other words what you sow is what you reap.

      To,Brenda,Fanatical Muslims like you are the real problems of islam.Fanatical interpreters of religion,like you exists in almost all religions,but number of fanatical interpreters of islam is very high compared to other religions,that is the real problem of islam. To, All Civilized People,Educate,modernise and civilize ordinary Muslims.Give maximum problems to fanatical interpreters of islam,who disturbs the peace and harmony on this earth.

      Proof of israel not being any way near a democracy.
    • Native  •  San Diego, California  •  3 mths ago
      Palestinians have the right to defend themselves and to have justice. This military tribunals and the thousands of women and children being held with out cause is fascist as well as an apartheid system that is not democratic at all.

        if they send suicide bomber to the israel then they loose all their rights. nobody arrest palestine people without reason. try throwing rocks at american police and see how nicely they will treat you. if they don't want to get arrested then stop throwing stones. but jew hater are in love with palestine thugs and look other side when palestine misbehave.
      • Native 3 mths ago
        Israel has thousands of women and children in captivity. My source is Israel. Check yourself. Palestinians have the right to do what they need to do to get their lands back. Israel is a occupying state in Palestine. Geography lesson for you.
      • jets 3 mths ago
        they are in jail for reason. like i said go to police station and start throwing rock them. we all know how they going to treat them. israel wasn't muslim land. mohamad didn't want pray to jewish god that's why he turned away his face from jerusalem and start facing macca. that's a history lesson for you from islamic history. it was jewish land and mohamad proved me right.

      Nice to see the rule of law is alive and well in Israel, sorry the same can't be said about the West Bank and Gaza (or the rest of the muslim world for that matter).
      • Shuvonn 3 mths ago
        israel is currently in belliegerent occupation of the wb so it is responsible for law and order in the wb since it is the occupying power, same as the UN, EU, US, Amnesty International deem israel to be the occupying power of Gaza so blame them ..... :-) I know facts can be SO inconvenient....
      • kenneth 3 mths ago
        you're knowledge is so acute next you will be talking about murder in international waters by israel as being within the law, and the people of Iran being Arabs

      Is this just? No charges made yet Adnan is kept.

      Israeli authorities have not laid any formal charges against Khader Adnan but say he was arrested for "for activities that threaten regional security."
      Media reports indicate that Adnan is or was affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) in the West Bank, and some say he holds or held a leadership position in the organization. The PIJ is designated a terrorist group by Israel, and Adnan has been convicted in the past by Israel for being a spokesperson for the group. It is not known if he was directly involved in attacks on Israelis. Though he has been detained several times since 1999, Israel has never laid any such charges against him. His wife says he holds no leadership role in the PIJ, is not involved in militant activities, and is a member of the Palestinian reconciliation committee.

      Let's hope he dies! The palestinians are very wicked, evil people and true cowards........These are the same people who danced and handed out candy when 9-11 happened here. Their main goal is to KILL Jews and Americans................look what the palestinians did to RFK! June 5, 1968: Presidential candidate Robert "Bobby" Kennedy was assassinated by Sirhan Sirhan, a Jordanian Arab-Palestinian. RFK was shot at point-blank range from behind by three shots from Sirhan's .22 caliber pistol ... two shots entered his back and a third shot entered directly behind RFK’s right ear.
      • gofer 3 mths ago
        Wouldn't doubt that Israel paid for that!
      • STEPHAN 3 mths ago
        Israel paid for that.

    • jets  •  3 mths ago
      israel have full right to defend them self. they always protest against israel but not protesting their terrorist government which put them in bad future. why not rich arab countries not helping them? they are all after infidel land and use palestine as a tool. west is next on muslim list. already seeing the clear sign in UK where they preach hate on open street. muslim already turned public school into MOSQUE in toronto. i never see jew hater crying about those activities or they are afraid of muslims.

      The zionazi have invented something called "administrative detention" whereby they can kidnap Palestinians from the West Bank or Gaza (because, hey, it's all Israel to them), imprison them but without bothering to charge them.
      After waiting and waiting, hoping this particular "administartive detention" detainee who started a hunger strike will die, they will now... "hear his case."...
      Tha's what a zionazi regime is about
