    Over a dozen students at Princeton University have been on hunger strike for the past week as part of a Gaza solidarity encampment on campus protesting Israel's war on Gaza and calling on the university to disclose and divest from companies with ties to Israel, among other demands. The hunger strikers are also calling for all charges to be dropped against a number of students arrested on campus in late April as part of the encampment. Areeq Hasan, a graduating senior at Princeton who has not eaten for a week, tells Democracy Now! the hunger strike was a response to the university's stonewalling. "We feel unheard at every step of the way, so therefore we resorted to a hunger strike," says Hasan, noting the long history of hunger strikes as a means of protest. "It is in solidarity with the history of Palestinian political prisoners since 1968. … We're tapping into this long-standing tradition with both Palestinian political prisoners and also in the Irish and Indian liberation movements."

      Aid to Israel has nothing to do with the nexus between the pharmaceutical and insurance industry in the US which artificially raise the prices of the medicine. Hospital bills have a markup of 500%. The reason Israel has free healthcare is not because the aid supplied in form of arms but because they are not filled with cronies.
      But ignore the big pharma and blame the jew.

      @@ingehanson ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ - - - Hamas commits abuses at hospitals
      A 2007 Human Rights Watch report recounted how Hamas executed a rival Fatah member and his two sons at a hospital in Beit Hanun. In 2008, The New York Times reported in gory detail how Hamas murdered six suspected collaborators in a 24-hour span. In 2014, Palestinian reporter Radjaa Abu Dagga said he was taken for questioning by Hamas to Al-Shifa hospital, his passport was taken, and he was prohibited from leaving the Gaza Strip.
      Hamas interrogates and tortures at hospitals
      Fatah also accused Hamas of using the hospital’s x-ray department as a prison and interrogation room. Amnesty International wrote in 2015 that civilians were “interrogated and tortured or otherwise ill-treated in a disused outpatient’s clinic within the grounds of Gaza City’s main al-Shifa Hospital. At least three people arrested during the conflict accused of ‘collaboration’ died in custody.”
      Hamas also uses ambulances for terrorism
      Hamas has also used ambulances during the course of the war as part of its operations. The use of ambulances not only denies civilians who are injured the use of the ambulance but also puts at risk medical workers if terrorists use the ambulance in the course of their activities. ^^ FEDERATION IN DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACIES

      Oh please. Throughout history there have been much more intense hunger strikes than a bunch of rich kids pretending to hunger strike - and I can’t name or tell you the reason for a single one of them. These students are hunger striking because they’re lazy, too lazy to actually do something active for their cause. Being so entitled that they thought they wouldn’t have to go more than a couple of days. I would bet my house that this guy has secretly consumed food during the last week - he shows no signs of dysfunction which would be quite severe by now. Shaking, inability to stand, low comprehension, stomach cramps, sweating, slurred speech, fainting, throbbing headaches, sunken eyeballs, unclear thinking, unable to follow conversation, etc. They are a bunch of fakers.

    LOVE IS THE SOURCE
    PaulTeich©10/31/2023
    This poem is about talking to God about love
    Love is the source of all things
    You are the source of all things
    We can feel your love
    Can you feel ours?
    We can see examples of your power
    Can you see ours?
    Are ours destruction or planting flowers?
    How do you view us from your ivory tower?
    What keeps evil at bay?
    Is it a spell and apple and leaf of bay?
    Is it an old fashioned ruler who thinks she’s a Bey?
    Or is it the simple acts of simple people taking care of each other day by day?
    You have given us love to turn Earth into Eden
    You let us know we were without true gnosis with the apple Adam had eaten
    Letting us know we get intrinsic worth from giving a rib and not from beating
    Please take away indifference, give us peace and make us care if everyone is eating
    Love is the source
    Whether it comes from you or me, love takes us to heaven on a winged horse
    May peace, love and poetry save the world!!!

    I understand the cause but hunger is non sustaining way to protest. This human rights issue been greatly ignored in the by politicians with much to gain from the past from this conflict. Rabin was the last prime minister who attempted to negotiate peace and compromise. Clinton too tried to lead the treaty for peace. Now we send weapons and cause more pain but where is the united voice in leadership towards resolution? Thankyou to those who peacefully are giving a voice for all those children that are suffering from war😥 I remember when musicians raise awareness against war through their music. I think we need a greater consciousness in humanity end human suffering cause by war.

      and as always, ya got no facts = = = Hamas used al-Wafa Hospital for military purposes
      Al-Wafa Hospital was turned into a command center, rocket-launching site, and observation post, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in 2014. “Hamas repeatedly opened fire from hospital windows and used anti-tank missiles from the premises. Hamas deliberately and cynically turned the hospital into a legitimate military target.” When the IDF carried out a precision airstrike near the hospital, it first called to warn their administrators. Video released during the 2014 conflict showed Hamas launching rockets next to al-Wafa Hospital in the Shajaiyeh neighborhood of Gaza City. The IDF claimed the hospital has been “a hotbed of terrorists activities, with gun and anti-tank missile fire originating from the site.”
      Hamas uses hospitals for propaganda
      On October 18, 2023, a rocket fired by Palestinian Islamic Jihad struck a parking lot near al-Ahli Hospital. Hamas rushed to blame Israel and claimed that more than 500 had been killed. Investigations by Israel, U.S. intelligence, and major media concluded that the claims by Hamas were false. Hamas used the incident at the hospital to blame Israel.
      The manipulation behind the al-Ahli Hospital incident is part of the wider media war by Hamas to use civilians in Gaza to score points. This includes inflating reports of death tolls in Gaza and spreading misinformation. ^^ FDD

    Some of our greatest civil rights activists (who laid the foundations for this generation) used fasting/hunger striking as a means of protest, however, those methods worked for those times. This is a new century. I might suggest activists use their creativity and ingenuity to _think outside the box,_ inventing new methods while maintaining their commitment to peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience, that is, the exercising of their civil liberties.

    The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel
    And the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides
    And a dark wind blows
    The government is corrupt
    And we're on so many drugs
    With the radio on and the curtains drawn
    We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine
    And the machine is bleeding to death
    The sun has fallen down
    And the billboards are all leering
    And the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
    It went like this:
    The buildings tumbled in on themselves
    Mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble
    And pulled out their hair
    The skyline was beautiful on fire
    All twisted metal stretching upwards
    Everything washed in a thin orange haze
    I said: "kiss me, you're beautiful -
    These are truly the last days"
    You grabbed my hand and we fell into it
    Like a daydream or a fever
    We woke up one morning and fell a little further down -
    For sure it's the valley of death
    I open up my wallet
    And it's full of blood
