VARIOUS OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY CAMPUS STANFORD, CALIFORNIA, US - MAY 21, 2025: Approximately 20 students at Stanford University have sustained a hunger strike for ten days, vowing to abstain from food until the university divests itself of the companies they claim to support Israel’s actions in Gaza. "We are here because we demand that our university stand up for the truths that they have always said to believe in," said one protesting student. "The university should be ashamed of itself as 40,000 babies are at risk of starving and dying as of the UN report yesterday in the Gaza Strip, because no aid trucks are allowed, and the university says we are done talking," another student told. The campus has seen numerous pro-Palestinian demonstrations in support of the people of Palestine and Gaza. Since March 2, Israel has maintained a strict blockade on Gaza, denying entry to humanitarian aid and pushing the territory into famine, which has already claimed numerous lives. Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing nearly 53,700 Palestinians, most of them women and children. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
