Background Introduction
Amidst the genocidal onslaught on Gaza over nearly the past year, universities have pondered whether, and how, to respond. From student protests calling for boycott and divestment, to faculty organizing, to administrative repression, universities around the world have been a site of contention and debate.
What should the role of the university be in the face of genocide? What does the university’s mission demand? And what responsibilities do university leaders have in the current climate?
These questions could be addressed to any university, but in the letter that follows, they are addressed to an Israeli university, particularly to Tel Aviv University, to its president, Professor Ariel Porat, from one of its Palestinian faculty,[1]Professor of anthropology Khaled Furani.

For Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, hunger strikes have become a fixture of prison life. The frequency of hunger strikes is a testament to prisoners' desperation. They would rather risk death by refusing to eat than accept their abysmal treatment: solitary confinement, humiliating strip-searches, sleep deprivation and beatings.
Hundreds of Palestinian prisoners are held in 'administrative detention' – without being charged or even being told what crimes they are believed to have committed. They are denied a full range of basic rights – from family visits to due legal process. For these prisoners, hunger strikes are virtually the only way they have to fight back.
Hunger strikes have a long tradition in non-violent resistance movements. People fast as an act of political protest, to raise awareness about their plight, or challenge their oppressors. Mahatma Gandhi engaged in several hunger strikes to protest British rule of India. Imprisoned members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army also used hunger strikes to pressure their jailers to release them.
