The act of fasting converts the one's own body into evidence of the suffering in Gaza and the complicity of institutions or governments that sustain it. #FastForGaza

Intentionally Starving Palestinians
#FastforGaza Today is World Hunger Day, and I am joining the #FastforGaza to protest the treatment of the people of Gaza. The state of Israel is blocking all food and lifesaving aid from reaching Gaza, with the full support of the United States. People are dying from starvation. In protest, I am eating no food today and drinking nothing but water from sunrise to sunset. I hope my small symbolic act encourages an end to this terrible and preventable catastrophe.
Fast to feed Gaza
Tomorrow, May 28, is World Hunger Day. The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) has a place to pledge to fast in solidarity with the starvation of the people of Gaza. And below, you will find detailed information from Code Pink on how to fast.
Expanding IDF Incursion into Gaza
We seem to be on the brink of significant changes in Israel's war against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank. Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are escalating their incursion into Gaza. This occurring while the deaths from famine rapidly increase. Children are dying from having no food.
Atomization of the people in Gaza
Starvation is a tool of colonization, weaponized to weaken bodies, fracture bonds, undermine social cohesion, fuel internal aggression, weaken resistance, and turn survival into an isolating struggle.
Hunger Strikes
Hunger strike means to go without food in solidarity with those suffering from hunger, from famine. It also means that hunger has striken the children, the people in Gaza and the West Bank.
Bombs and bulldozers
One of the primary reasons for the near blackout of news reports, images, and videos from Gaza and the West Bank is that people would see how bombs and bulldozers are in the final stages of making those areas unlivable. Trying to make the tenacious Palestinians finally give up and leave. Trying to make the conditions in Gaza and the West Bank "unlivable", and would require complete rebuilding from the ground up. Rebuilding under the control of Israel and its US enablers.
Critical famine risk
I cannot comprehend the mindset required to weaponize famine as a military and political strategy. And yet this has repeatedly been part of conflicts and wars throughout history. Invading armies taking food and destroying crops. And this was the strategy used against the Native people in this country. Untold numbers of buffalo were intentionally slaughtered—a history of forced assimilation and genocide.
I condemn this genocide
I do not wish to speak only to my own politics today but to speak for all people of conscience and all people who feel the moral injury of this atrocity and I want to say that I condemn this genocide and complicity in this genocide. Logan Rozos
You knew they were going to kill you
EVERYONE in Gaza seems to have a premonition of their death. How could they not as bombs continue to rain down on them as they try to shelter in tents or the rubble?
