Princeton Students' Hunger Strike Sparks Controversy Amid Anti-Israel Protests

Protesters at Princeton University claim physical weakening due to a hunger strike aimed at influencing university policies on Israel.

A group of Princeton students has initiated a hunger strike to protest the university's stance on Israel, demanding divestment and the dropping of charges against fellow protesters.
Participants claim the strike has left them physically weakened and immunocompromised, accusations the university denies.
The protest has drawn mixed reactions, with some critics labeling the strikers as overprivileged and unaware of the broader implications of their actions.
University officials are in discussions with protesters, emphasizing the need for dialogue through established processes.
The hunger strike, which began last Friday, has seen at least 15 students participating, with no signs of cessation despite the physical toll reported.
