In one of the bravest acts of protest since 7 October, more than 30 pro-Palestinian Harvard students participated in a 12-hour hunger strike on Friday. The strike was conducted to support the 17 hunger striking students at Brown University, who refused to eat for eight days after the Brown corporation refused to divest from Israel. According to the Harvard Crimson, the 17 students ended their strike at 5 pm on 9 Feb, along with the Harvard demonstrators and more than 200 other Brown students who fasted for 32 hours. A whole day without food? That’s a level of self-discipline that would make Jack Dorsey proud.
