It started off with one person. Within hours it became a community. | For the past 27 days more than two dozen students at Stanford University have been staging a sleep-in protest in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza who have faced weeks of relentless ‘Israeli’ air strikes. The students, made up of different nationalities and backgrounds, have been living in a small encampment made up of several tents in one of the main university quads.  Speaking to Middle East Eye on condition of anonymity due to fears of facing harsh reprisals for speaking out, the students said they would not end their sit-in until the university divested from and boycotted ‘Israeli’ ventures and academic institutions, and condemned ‘Israel’ over its occupation of the Palestinian territories.  Since October 7, more than 12,000 Palestinians have been martyred, including close to 5,000 children by ‘Israeli’ air strikes, according to Palestinian health officials. Around 1.6 million others have been displaced and face hunger, thirst and disease as a humanitarian catastrophe continues to unfold in Gaza. The student who organized the Stanford sit-in told MEE that the protest was crucial in ensuring Gaza remained at the forefront of student and faculty members' minds.
