"from the class traitors" FTFY. When you use accurate words their actions make more sense.

  • Some three dudes were ripping apart barricades and one of the older staff started trying to stop them. They basically said "no way you can stop us old lady."

  • Watched as three counter protestors held down and punched out one dude.

  • Someone threw a lit 3-5 lb firework into the protestors.

  • Tons of mace and tear gas.

  • Worst thing I saw done to the counter protestors was a guy getting a splinter from trying to remove one of the boards.

  • Police were 15 yards away watching.

Israeli students reports feeling unsafe because people are peacefully protesting. UCLA calls for full riot police to attack and arrest them.

Masked individuals violently attack anti-war students. Response:

The Los Angeles police department referred questions about the attack to UCLA’s campus police, which a spokesperson said was the “lead agency” in the incident. The campus police have not yet offered comment. UCLA’s chancellor said the university is “gathering information” about the attack and its investigation may lead to “arrests, expulsions and dismissals”.

So fucking tired of hiring about how "Israelis are fearful and feeling unsafe"

What sort of clown world we live in where country committing war crimes in real time but fake news "have you thought about the citizens of country committing war crimes though"

probably israelis, they're known for violently attacking people who distribute pamphlets about Palestine...
like, attacking people in america with a table of pamphlets...
p.s. all jewish americans are automatically granted dual citizenship in Israel (if they want it, many definitely don't and are appalled by Israel's long history of war crimes)
