Princeton University student: "My peers and I are starving."

24. University president explained to protesters that divestment has to go through a process of agreement

across the community and is therefore rare.

In 2014, faculty members submitted a petition for divestment but there was a counter-petition from students "rejecting efforts -- such as boycott, divestments, or sanctions campaigns -- that aim to demonize or assign absolute blame to either Israelis or Palestinians as they are counterproductive and drive the parties further away from compromise." Then the Center for Jewish Life submitted it's objection to divestment signed by faculty, parents and alumni.

Protesters whined about mean adults saying "process" to them and don't seem to understand.

University said that if rules and laws are broken, such as occupying a building, there has to be accountability. Of course.

Protesters are painting themselves into a corner. And the urgency, the hunger strikes -- as if a long slow process of divestment will make a bit of difference? It doesn't seem productive to me.

And the whining! I'd never show weakness like that if I wanted to look like a tough revolutionary. Whine privately.
