More than 30 #California State University (CSU) students are on a hunger strike to protest against #Israel’s blockade of food and water going into Gaza, which has placed the enclave’s population at “critical risk” of famine.

In a video released on Sunday, the students said that the hunger strike was growing across campuses: “It’s day seven of the CSU hunger strike for Gaza. We remain steadfast in our struggle for a free #Palestine…"

    I doubt it, simply because first responders aren’t obliged to leave you passed out on the floor waiting to die.

    Beyond that, they are taking proper steps to ensure their health at least in the short term. Water with electrolytes, and vitamins.

      That’s kinda crap then. It’s just Dieting for Gaza. If they aren’t willing to go all the way to force the hand of the US government, then it’s all lip service and sino bullshit.

        Yeah, and history casts such a golden light on all those jews in concentration and death camps back in the 1930’s and 40’s. Like yeah, I get it. They were being brutally raped, tortured, murdered, and forced to toil and die in their own filth and disease, but I mean come on…they had potato soup to sustain them for quite a while. If they weren’t willing to refuse the food that Nazis brought them, then they may as well been supporting the Holocaust. 🥴

        In case it’s not clear. Israel is doing exactly what Nazi Germany did during the Holocaust. They’re committing open genocide against Palestinians and daring the world to intervene for fear of being called antisemetic.

          I can’t tell if your comment is supposed to be complaining about mine or agreeing with mine. But I do agree that Israel is certainly seeing how much it can get away with. That seems to be how politics has been working for the past 10 years or so depending on the country. Politicians love to see how many buttons they can push before they get removed from office
