Episode Notes Since Monday, around a dozen McGill students have stopped eating until the university adopts a Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) policy against Israel. The hunger strikers are calling on McGill to divest from companies involved in weapons manufacturing or operating on illegal settlements. They’re demanding an end to academic partnerships with Israeli institutions involved in the military occupation and settlements as well.
