Pausing a hunger strike

The Guardian reports:

Two Palestine Action-affiliated prisoners have paused their hunger strikes due to deteriorating health but have vowed to resume the protest next year.

Qesser Zuhrah and Amu Gib have temporarily resumed eating, according to a statement released by Prisoners for Palestine group on Tuesday evening.

The pair were among eight prisoners on hunger strike facing charges related to alleged break-ins or criminal damage on behalf of Palestine Action before the group was banned under terrorism legislation in July, charges they deny and have called to be dropped.

So they are “pausing” their hunger strikes until next year. I wonder how many Big Macs they can eat in the next 10 days?

In theory I have been on a 10 year hunger strike. I just pause it three times a day.
