Brown Univ. Students on Hunger Strike to Demand Divestment from Arms Makers Supplying Israel
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Protests are continuing across the U.S. against Israel's assault on
Gaza. In Louisville, Kentucky, 15 people were arrested Friday after they
blocked the entrances to offices of military contractors Raytheon and
BAE Systems. Meanwhile, 19 students at Brown University have entered
their fourth day on hunger strike to urge Brown to divest from weapons
manufacturers who are arming Israel.
