"As far as I'm concerned they can strike for a day, a month, until death. We will ward off this strike and it will be as if it never happened," Security Minister Tzahi Hanegbi said.
I like this guy !
I wish this wasn't an election year, with Dims & the media all ready to pounce on every word said, or W could raise the bar a bit, himself. (...you gotta be safely IN the White House to make those kinda statements, though...)
"As far as I'm concerned they can strike for a day, a month, until death. We will ward off this strike and it will be as if it never happened,"
To survive for a month would require the physique of M. Moore. Most strikers are [probably] thinner, thus will expire sooner.
The approach though is good: ignore the strike (do not evan bother to ward it off), and if they want to starve - exhibit deeply humanistic respect for such personal desires - and let them.
If McGreevy had brought Tzahi Hanegbi from Israel to head up NJ security, he'd have had a good guy. But unfortunately, he was looking for a guy with Monica's credentials. The Clintoon legacy lives on in the Dem party.
