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.

IKR!
I all but guarantee not one of them will starve to death!!
I should of added, that’d be a real shame!
Ditto.
Feed all the non-protesting students and party every evening/night with patriotic, Jewish and Christian music artists.
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.

Those idiots are probably vegans. My neighborhood vegan gets sick from the smell of meat,
Great idea.
The 'death to America' crowd already unleashed violence. And they will be sneaking in hamburgers before sundown.
Yes. Submit fully to Allah, and make a total commitment to the promotion of his Evil.
Some of these female protesters look like they could use a long hunger strike.
