New hunger strike action from CUNY. Eight students, staff, and faculty from across the City University of New York system started an indefinite hunger strike on Tuesday, May 27th. They have one demand: that CUNY Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez and the CUNY Board of Trustees immediately divest from Israel and from all weapons and technology manufacturers equipping the Israeli-U.S. genocide in Palestine.
They are using the hunger strike to raise funds “to send urgent funds to people in Gaza for food and other needed materials.”
Also, continuing is the hunger strike by students and faculty at Stanford University to protest attacks on academic freedom and complicity in the Gaza genocide.
If ever there was a moment that demands civil disobedience, it is the hour of genocide.
An urgent ask from Stanford SJP is to sign and circulate the Drop the Charges petition https://actionnetwork.org/forms/supportstanford12?source=direct_link& which demands that the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office drop the felony charges brought against twelve Stanford University students and alumni following their participation in a protest advocating for Stanford’s divestment from corporations implicated in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
“One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust wars.”
Support Gaza War Resisters!
For over 20 years Refuser Solidarity Network, have supported Israeli refusers (conscientious objectors) and anti-occupation resisters. Your generous donation will help us to continue supporting Israeli anti-occupation resisters and refusers through: 1) Political support: Amplifying their voices to millions via our newsletter and social media (Voices Against War) and providing opportunities for supporters to take action. 2) Financial support: Providing crucial financial aid for the resisters. 3) Capacity building and help in strategizing resistance.
Time for all those wonderful, principled American Jews, to sue the ADL for defamation, slander, libel, and unauthorized appropriation! Make the ADL have to admit publicly, with every statement, that they do not speak for all Jews.
Of course it would require great effort, energy and money. Perhaps organizations would join, or a class action law suit.
Those are powerful and well connected organizations, not taken on lightly. I am sure there are those who would volunteer their services, and surely we could get crowd-funding to assist with the legal fees.

Does this sound like something worth doing? How can we help make this happen?
Biden may have been slowing down, and his age may have been showing, but the recent BBC interview doesn’t bear out those accusations of incapacity. It’s like showing his stumble, or the time he fell with his bike, and saying, “That’s his norm!” My brother has a house near the Bidens, and says they were often out on their bikes, exercising. Tapper is mostly grabbing for attention and cash.
Hunger Strike!

And same for UK and Australia, Canada, etc.
