Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Princeton University Begin Hunger Strike for Gaza

Pro-Palestinian protesters taking part in an encampment at Princeton University began a hunger strike to raise awareness for starving people in Gaza.

The Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (PIAD) student organization posted a series of photos on Instagram announcing that pro-Palestinian protests would be launching a hunger strike “in solitary with Gaza.”

“PRINCETON STUDENTS LAUNCH HUNGER STRIKE IN SOLIDARITY WITH GAZA!!” the group wrote.

PIAD explained that as part of the hunger strike, protesters would “abstain from all food and drink” except for water until their demands were met.

“We commit our bodies to their liberation of Palestine,” the group continued. “PRINCETON, hear us now! We will not be moved!”

The PIAD added that they would strike until their demands were met.

PIAD is demanding that the university’s administration meet with protesters and “discuss their demands for disclosure, divestment, and a full academic and cultural boycott of Israel,” and grant students who have been arrested or faced academic disciplinary action full amnesty.

“The Princeton Gaza Solidarity Encampment announces the initiation of a hunger strike in solidarity with the millions of Palestinians in Gaza suffering under the ongoing siege by the State of Israel,” the group said in an online statement. ” The Israeli occupation has deliberately blocked access to basic necessities to engineer a dire famine for the two million residents of Gaza.”

I don’t see a hunger strike in 2024 America lasting very long. Some of those protest chicks could go weeks without being in any danger, except they couldn’t.

Finally! Pro-Hamas supporters protesting in a way I fully support. Stand strong, you little idiots. That’ll really show us.

The women should move to Gaza and dedicate their bodies to Hamas.

When Gandhi did hunger strikes, it was understood he had the discipline to die that way, and that if he died that way it would unleash violence. So it was effective.

The 'death to America' crowd already unleashed violence. And they will be sneaking in hamburgers before sundown.

Some of these female protesters look like they could use a long hunger strike.
