Pro-Palestinian Protesters at Princeton University Begin Hunger Strike for Gaza
Breitbart ^ | 3 May 2024 | ELIZABETH WEIBEL

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 protestors say “we will abstain from all food and drink except water” until the following demands are met:

• Complete immunity from criminal charges
• Full cultural boycott of Israel (???)
• Divestment from… pic.twitter.com/mFWcDtbybZ

“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.”

Set up a grill and a smoker and a wood fired pizza oven just upwind. Someone DO THIS!

The Prince boyz need to send the food they aren’t going to need to the starving and thirsty bass turds over at Columbia. Those clowns locked themselves in a building and are starving to death for their Nazi Muzzie Terrorist “brothers”.

3) Yemen. 17 million
4) Syria. 12 million
5) The Sahel. 13 million
6) South Sudan. 7.7 million

The Columbia Burka Boyz are having a “Hunger Hack”. Send the food you don’t want or are stashing for your own “Hunger Hack” to the Columbia Burka Boyz.

The Princeton Israeli Apartheid Divest (PIAD) student organization...

Finally a common sense approach to protest. Gandhi would be proud...This student group has my fondest wishes for a long, long and successful protest. /S...I guess...

Put up a fence with guards around the encampment to help them stick to the “no food” thing.

Bring in the press on day three when the entertainment value should be at it’s peak.

Be careful what you wish for, even if you are just pretending that you are willing to have your life sacrificed to Allah in order to make a political point.

Exactly for both of your comments.

I could see them claiming a hunger strikes and faking it for optics and meanwhile, sneaking food in.

Let them set up a post-Passover Feast. It would be an additional celebration of freedom from bondage under Pharaoh and all other Middle Eastern totalitarians.

Pro Israeil groups in the area should have a pig roast on a day when the wind is blowing in the direction of the “hunger strikers”.

Bacon, Ribs, pulled pork, steaks, whatever smells irresistable.

Great idea…I heartily endorse this plan. It will be something to track over the next few weeks.
