A group of California State University students has launched a hunger strike to draw attention to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, resulting from Israel's aid blockade. Commencing on May 5, students from multiple campuses express solidarity with Palestinians facing starvation. Their demands include university divestment from weapons manufacturers. Amid growing international criticism of Israel, the organizers emphasize the need for awareness and action. The strike is marked by educational efforts, and participant health monitoring, highlighting a shift in protest tactics due to legal restrictions on traditional demonstrations.
The bombing, the killing, the massive violations of human rights have been an ongoing issue throughout, but the recent realities in Gaza are dire.
We, the students of San Francisco, Sacramento, Long Beach, and San Jose State Universities, are beginning a united hunger strike in solidarity with the two million Palestinians at risk.
