There is absolutely no question about how this happened. UCLA's very own student journalists were reporting who launched the attack. The school and the city chose to do nothing for hours.

We were told that chanting free Palestine is violence that requires calling in the cops but this is somehow ok?

“3 cops at every door!”

NYPD are now surrounding and blockading students inside private homes outside of Columbia campus.

just the other day jessica seinfeld donated 5000 dollars to the UCLA “pro-israel” rallies to counter the encampment. guess this is where the money went?

Imagine if encampment students started physically attacking Jewish students & began chanting “Second Holocaust.”

These Zionist students are calling for massacres & ethnic cleansing while deploying physical violence, but it’s ok because the victims are advocates against genocide

Here's video of another pro-Israel protester launching another firework into the pro-Palestine encampment.

Israel exporting this violence here is totally unacceptable. The encampments have been thoroughly peaceful across the country.

in america they'll send a military police force with a $6 billion budget to your school until you say i love israel

Do you not think this should have been in the headline?

Tomorrow Congress is holding more hearings on whether Jewish students feel safe enough, while tonight, Zionist protestors at UCLA are launching fireworks directly into the Palestine encampment, tearing down camp infrastructure & attacking students

To reporters writing this up: this was a unilateral, surprise attack by Zionists. Encampment residents were eating lentils and sitting around. Suddenly reports of men in plastic white masks at the gates. Then poles thrown. Shouts of GET DOWN... skunk spray...

zionists came to ucla wearing masks and are illegally spraying peaceful protestors with bear mace and shooting fireworks while the security/pigs around them do nothing. if this shit doesn't radicalize you, you are lost.

If he said this in Berlin, he would be arrested

After days of Biden repeatedly condemning campus protests as antisemitic, pro-Israel demonstrators have now violently attacked an encampment at UCLA, calling for a 'Second Nakba!'

Biden was warned his increasingly hostile rhetoric would fuel this kind of violence.

Pro-Israel counterprotestors started tearing down UCLA encampment barriers and screamed 'Second nakba!' referring to the mass displacement & dispossession of Palestinians during the 1948 Arab-Israeli war. Per Los Angeles Times Safi Nazzal on the scene with another video:

Every union member in the country should take a long, hard look at how the state is treating a bunch of rich college kids hanging out in tents on a college quad because all that shit is coming to a picket line near you very, very soon.

All time delete here

the student uprisings of the 1960s were considerably more violent than anything you are seeing today. it is not close. students at kent state burned the ROTC building to the ground. when black students took over a building at cornell in 1969, they did it **with guns**

We all famously remember when thousands of cops decked out in riot gear beat the January 6ers senseless and arrested them all on the spot

In order to protect imaginary Jewish students who don't like the protestors' vibes, we were forced to ask the police to inflict very real violence against Jewish students who were protesting. We're doing this to keep things Peaceful

Yeah, the NYPD deployed a Mine-Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle to aid in the crack down on peaceful, unarmed student protesters. These are military vehicles designed specifically to withstand improvised explosive device (IED) attacks & ambushes. What a joke.
