Oh no, one striker has “aching tendons, muscle spasms, and dizziness.”
Students at different California colleges have been on hunger attacks for as long as a year and a half to rally the admitted” starvation” of Gazans by Israel, just like their contemporaries at Yale.
According to The Guardian, the students are enrolled at CSU Long Beach, Sacramento State, San Francisco State, and San Jose State.
According to The Stanford Daily, Stanford students and faculty members joined on May 12.
The protesters ‘ demands include SFSU’s Human Rights IPS Screening,” compensation of study abroad programs with Israeli institutions,” and withdrawal from Israel, as well as” severance of study abroad programs with Israeli institutions.”
According to a Stanford SJP social media post, the starvation strikes “draw pleasure” from the coordinated periods of Arab political prisoners, the 1981 H-Block attack in Northern Ireland, and other historical hunger attacks.
Max Flynt, a scholar activist at San Francisco State, claimed that Israel’s siege of Gaza contributed significantly to the start of the hunger strike.
Flynt noted, however, that he and his own SFSU hunger workers go home at night because “many forms of protesting Israel have become” properly illegal in the U.S.

Flynt claimed that President Trump is “scared” of pro-Hamas college students based on what they did last year at various campuses.
Jaime Jackson, a professor at Sacramento State, “evaluates ] the dynamics of violent and nonviolent resistance movements,” agreed, calling it” a really big thing” that Israel has been” blocking of humanitarian aid.
Cal State Long Beach hunger striker Marcus Bode claimed that his aching joints, muscle cramps, and lightheadedness are not being reinvested into our campus and student body. He claimed that” we are suffering” and that” we are suffering” from not eating. They instead finance genocide and war.
Arwa Faruk, a Stanford hunger striker, said,” My body will be a site of protest, because of the conditions that have been imposed on my brothers and sisters, which require that we do something.”
At the start of the university’s strike ( not as a participant ), activist author Hilton Obenzinger “drew a parallel “between Nazi Germany’s Holocaust and the” modern Israeli-Palestinian conflict.”
Obenzinger, whose parents died in the Holocaust, told the crowd,” The students today who are taking a stand to hunger strike are going to be remembered as people who stood up, spoke out, and did the right thing in the face of genocide.”
David Palumbo-Liu, a Stanford professor, also addressed the gathering and said,” When all other means fail, you put your bodies on the line.” Palumbo-Liu is a member of the Stanford Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine, and a co-founder of the Campus Antifascist Network, despite not taking part in the strike.
