Anti-Israel protestors at Princeton University are being teased online after screaming about the pains of the hunger strike they've embarked upon.
One young woman, in a clip circulating online, yells into a megaphone that she and her peers are 'starving.'
'I am quite literally shaking right now, as you can see,' the masked protester on the Ivy League campus says.
The clip was mocked online by countless social media users who pointed out the absurdity of the students complaining about their condition on a self-imposed hunger strike.
The strike is nearing its seven-day mark.
Several Princeton students convey via megaphone how they're feeling amid their ongoing hunger strike for Gaza
Students at Princeton erected last month a Gaza solidarity encampment
The criminal protestors were charged for setting up more than a dozen tents and trespassing into an academic building.
The speaker went on to describe the current self-imposed symptoms the group on strike is experiencing: 'We are both hot and cold at the same time.
'We are all immunocompromised and the university would love to continue physically weakening us' she proclaimed.
The student then let everyone know that it's her birthday.

Social media users were not impressed by the pleas of the students on the self-imposed hunger strike.
'Poor kid. No one told her that a possible side effect of a hunger strike was being hungry,' user Mike Runner wrote on X.
'Considering that they’re at Princeton, you’d think they’d know that a hunger strike would cause….hunger,' fellow X user odloceangirl noted.
Others took to offering suggestions on how the university should handle the strike.
'The university should donate their meal cards to actual hungry homeless people who would love a hot meal,' TV anchor Jessamyn Dodd wrote.
The administrations of many schools across the US have begun stepping up efforts to shut down the student protestors illegally camped on various lawns
Americans have long since grown tired of the outrageous demonstrations against Israel taking place on college campuses across the country.
In a poll, about six-in-ten said students should be kicked out of schools for making anti-Semitic comments, and about half said anti-Israel protestors should lose out on student loan forgiveness opportunities.
As the academic school year draws to a close, administrations have gotten serious about shutting their radical students down.
Hundreds of students at Columbia University were arrested last week.
Harvard University's interim president, Alan Garber, warned students that those in an encampment in Harvard Yard could face 'involuntary leave.'
They would not be allowed on campus, could lose their student housing and might not be able to take exams.
At the University of California, San Diego, police cleared an encampment and arrested more than 64 people.
The University of California, Los Angeles, moved classes online and dismantled an encampment last week, resulting in 44 arrests.
