Poe’s law is the adage that without the correct emoticons or background information, parodies of extremism cannot successfully be distinguished from the sincere article.

What does being astounded by idiocy have to do with parodies? Why not use an emoticon?

NE: You seem to have understood my question specifically in regard to Israel, and with a “who cares what the rest of the world says” vein. Although it was indeed the recent Israeli news which prompted this thread, remember that hunger strikes are done worldwide, introduced, if I’m not mistaken, by Nelson Mandela. All countries give into this madness, even those who aren’t looking in the mirror at every fork. It starts, as you say, with “the image of a man starving to death voluntarily is an arresting one,” but doesn’t really explain anything. Powerful countries with grand armies and top-notch security suddenly surrender to…arresting images?

Recall the Margaret Thatcher days.
