Another Graduating Class?
By Mark Aurelius
Recently I wrote an essay advocating for colleges and high schools across the country to engage in announced hunger strike protests against the deliberate policy of starvation against Palestinians in Gaza and received little to no response.
Now after realizing some peoples and places have already tried the hunger fast approach to little effect they don’t seem thrilled about the idea. For example. Microsoft MSM reported “Princeton University students end anti-Israel hunger strike 'due to health concerns'
“Students at Princeton University protesting Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza have called an end to their hunger strike after just 10 days.”
"Due to health concerns of the 13 strikers who fasted for 10 days, the first hunger strike wave ended, and the second wave has begun," … "In the tradition of rotary strikes, seven new strikers are indefinitely fasting for a free Palestine."
Amy Goodman and Democracy Now did a similar story a year ago:
“We Feel Unheard”: Hunger-Striking Princeton Students Vow to Fast Until Divestment Demands Are Met
So it makes sense that this idea was not picked up on—but note a few things:
Realize you are up against an antagonist that does not play by any rules or standards. Real forms of worldly satanism is a willingness to win no matter how evil and nasty one gets. This is the essence of Israeli strategy—nothing is sacred. Any method justifies the end result.
Therefore, to win means an equal willingness to break a few rules. You do not have to have all who fast engage in the puritanical sense of fasting. There is such a thing as juice fasting, intermittent fasting, or just plain cheating.
The important thing is to recruit as many young people as possible for public relations purposes (without disclosing too much information on individuals participating to keep their identities private).
Moreover—the message needs to specifically be fasting against starvation now going on (not more nebulous less imminent issues like divestments).
Plus this is an opportunity to educate the masses on the health benefits of fasting.
The important point is to make it seem like millions of young people (especially) are being actively engaged in such a project with commitment to continue to learn about what is happening in the Middle East—making it an ongoing issue throughout the summer (even after school seasons are over).
We need to emphasize how Western countries and its leaders are deliberately ignoring an ongoing mass starvation project.
They can’t sanely claim this to is a form of antisemitism and hatred.
They can’t arrest you for not eating. And even if they do you can still continue to fast in jail.
It doesn’t cost anything except some public relations time and effort.
It is complete innocence and humane against ugly barbarity.
We can even appeal to the elderly to partake.
Such as strategy, if not carried out puritanically and naively has real potential.
Moreover, as a form of protest it can get around crackdowns on campuses.
In fact, fasting can be good for a person. You just need some PR, and symbols such as a newly colored ribbon, etc.
Scott Ritter, retired military officer and now political commentator (of worth) asks campus protestors what have they accomplished? He says nothing.
He likely assumes the only cynical approach is for some entity to destroy the Israeli military (realpolitik strategy of jungle world). The problem is this likely means to destroy the U.S. military as well.
Would AIPAC controlled puppets in the U.S. government gamble anywhere close to this gambit. Of course not. So genocidal maniacs in Isreal dominate their way of power.
Nevertheless, both countries are engaged in genocide (as are other Western countries). Both countries need to have leaders prosecuted accordingly.
It doesn’t take that long to starve people if they do not have access to water.
When you consider this crisis is already a year and half long, with all the life-changing destruction, stress, and health toil—this is truly a humanitarian crisis.
These Rubio instigated crackdowns were meant to intimidate the masses of the world against protesting against their blatant murder, and they are getting away it with such intimidation tactics.
Now millions of college peoples, especially visiting students, foreigners, etc., feel intimidated and have quelled their potentialities. The evil empires are winning.
We world needs to try multiple tactics. With electronic media this could go big!
What do people have to lose except maybe a few pounds?
P.S. Israel you are coming down your mountain,
you, and your Yahweh, Amen.
