UC Berkeley Electrical Engineering and Computer Science lecturer Peyrin Kao is about a month into his hunger strike protesting “the use of tech in Israel’s genocide in Gaza.” Kao said simple tasks such as opening doors leave him tired, but the exhaustion is minor compared to the displacement, loss of loved ones and destroyed homes Palestinians in Gaza are experiencing, all while walking long distances for food, facing gunfire, living without clean water and enduring severe malnutrition. “I think what this shows is that, as exhausted as I’m feeling, it’s just a microcosm of what Palestinians in Gaza have had to feel, and I’ve only been going for 28 days,” Kao said. “Those folks have gone for 700 plus days on this kind of catastrophic diet.” Read more through the link in bio. ✍️: Emily Wong 📸: Courtesy of Peyrin Kao . . #ucberkeley #dailycal #berkeley #eecs #palestine #gaza
