Their Hunger Is Ours

In June 2025, Mai Shahin and David Ginati launched Their Hunger Is Ours from the heart of the West Bank, from SATYAM, refusing food in solidarity with Gaza.
For 85 and 55 days, they were on full hunger strike, and were joined by others around the world, participating fully or partially, in nonviolent co-resistance to injustice, calling for an end to siege, genocide, and dehumanization.
What began as a collective hunger strike for Gaza — two bodies in resistance for life, dignity, and liberation — transformed into a shared movement: Palestinians, Israelis, and internationals standing side by side, refusing silence, and building collective power for Gaza and for life.

The hunger strike closed for health and safety — but its spirit lived on in #Mondays4Gaza, a weekly global action where people everywhere fast, organize, and speak out together.
