If people starving was enough to end a genocide, there would be no genocide. I prefer my comrades well fed and... 
I feel sympathy because they're fighting for a good cause despite how the establishment demonizes them but I must admit I don't understand hunger strikes.
You don't get any compassion from your enemies, and your allies are already allies. The people in power are participating in the deaths of people at home and around the world, including death by starvation, they don't give a damn if people starve that's why they're here. Do strikers think they are special and will force the starvers to change their genocidal agenda because a student is now doing it to themselves?
I wouldn't be so harsh if going hungry wasn't so dangerous. Hunger can inflict lifetime damage on your brain, you can lose critical abilities like speech, sight, reasoning. Losing a limb to kill a fascist id heroic, but hunger strikes don't kill anyone but the strikers, and they don't save anyone either. I mean, do they? Maybe they did in some less fascistic regime, but the current US of A? No chance that's doing anything.
It can sometimes work, especially in prison, if they need you alive or want to prevent you from becoming a martyr.
Yeah perhaps it won't work on fascists, perhaps is more about the message.
