Yes they are!

We speak with Ananya Roy about the violent invasion by a pro-Israel mob who came onto the UCLA campus last night to beat up the pro-Palestinian students and tear down their encampment while UCLA security, campus police and the LAPD stood by watching. on.soundcloud.com/ijVoXry1Qhia5B…

STATEMENT FROM BESIEGED UCLA PALESTINE SOLIDARITY ENCAMPMENT

The only means of protection we had was each other. WE KEEP US SAFE.

The university’s hypocrisy
all too apparent. The university would rather see us dead than divest.

Call on UCLA to disclose, divest, end the silence

On multiple occasions I’ve drawn the direct comparison between Zionist thought to much closer to home/better understood racist white thought during Jim Crow.

Then like now, individuals operate with the protection of law to upload (& advance) racist systems & institutions.

Compare the acts of Zionist aggression at UCLA shown in the video below to this report of UCLA's peaceful protests given a few hours earlier: twitter.com/RaphMim/status…

Peace, justice, and liberation are on the side of the Palestinian resistance and campus solidarity encampments.

200+ pro-Israel counterprotestors are attacking the UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment. They started beating on one student and stomped another under a plywood board per Los Angeles Times Safi Nazzal on the scene. Where is UCLA security?

Zionists are literally unleashing chemical warfare on UCLA students. Defend this shit. Fuck you.

I don’t even know what to say. Air thick with bear spray.

Utterly reprehensible. The pro-Israel mobs are using IOF tactics (including the use of loud music, crying baby sounds, and fireworks) against a non-violent encampment of students who are protesting genocide.

Throwing huge fireworks into an encampment is warfare. People lose life and limbs with way smaller fireworks than these.

This has gotta be a fucking sound hazard, Jesus

Barricades getting torn up

.UCLA created this incredibly dangerous situation by enabling and emboldening these violent Zionists at every turn.

All that time spent demonizing anti-genocide protestors while they allow fascists to assault and shoot fireworks + bear spray at their students.

Unhinged Zionists causing chaos at the UCLA encampment.

If you are near by - you need to get there NOW

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.
