    And they were so close is getting their demands ;)

    …but it seems they ended their hunger strike early because they were….hungry

    Students at Princeton University protesting Israel’s war with Hamas in Gaza have called an end to their hunger strike after just 10

    Princeton Divest Now, the student protest group that is calling for the New Jersey Ivy League university to divest from America’s Middle Eastern ally due to the high civilian death toll in the Gaza Strip, said additional strikers would be continuing their efforts.

    "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," it wrote in a post shared on Instagram.

    I'm confused...How does starving yourself and missing classes that someone presumably paid for supposed to stop two ethnic groups from slaughtering each other like they've been doing for millennia......Ben

    Well…since they’re not getting much of an education anyway…Biden will just forgive their loans.

    And to think this generation of edumikated kiddos will soon be entering the workforce…

    Good Gawd….


    That said, this pretty much tells the Israeli’s that it’s ok to continue

    Kinda like the Vietnam era all over again..

    And the Ivy Leaguers are not the intended target of student loan relief.. it’s the other end of the economic spectrum..

    But to be fair…I can see the value of nurses, firefighters and even LEO loans being forgiven if said education makes them better nurses, firefighters and police.

    No.. none.. and the two people I know with student debt were suckered into it by “for profit” universities, loan companies that offer some courses..
