Canadian students hunger-strike for college to divest from Israel-linked firms

Several McGill University students have spent more than three weeks demanding it divest $20m from various companies

A group of students at McGill University have spent more than three weeks on hunger strike in an effort to force the Canadian college to divest from “companies supporting the Israeli military”.

The move follows months of protests and sit-ins at McGill and at universities around the world, as students and faculty members have protested against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza.
