Brown University Students Conclude Week-Long Hunger Strike for Palestinian Support

A group of Brown University students, including Palestinian and Jewish students, have entered the eighth day of a hunger strike to pressure the university to divest from businesses benefiting from Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories. The students are seeking divestment from companies profiting from human rights abuses in Palestine and have received support from other students and faculty. The university's response has sparked criticism, with the students citing the university's history of divestment in other issues. The hunger strike follows months of protests on campus and is part of a wider backdrop of heated debates on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war across American university campuses.
