UCLA stood by and watched as random adults with no affiliation to the university entered its campus and attacked its students with explosives and chemical weapons.

Statement from the UCLA encampment about tonight’s violent attacks from pro-Zionist protesters.

It's so incredibly clear that the police stood aside and let a pro Israeli lynch mob run wild at UCLA. They did nothing for two hours as violent Zionists assaulted students, launched fireworks into the encampment, and sprayed mace on students.

This post needs context:
The violence was directed *at* campus protestors, by a group of counter-protesters who showed up to antagonize the protest/presumably try to break it up.

They attacked the camp repeatedly for hours. Police/leaders took hours to respond to this.

Those fascist mobs in UCLA - to whom violence against encampment protesters has clearly been outsourced by the police - are lynch mobs. The footage is fkn insane.

Counter-protesters at #UCLA have:

- Fired fireworks at the camp;
- Beaten several people;
- Hit people with sticks;
- Fired pepper/bear spray into the camp;

Just in the last couple of hours.

All of it on video.

Where are the police?

A Zionist mob showed up to the UCLA encampment with skunk spray and fireworks. They lobbed it at students and proceeded to beat several of them.

This is what happens in the West Bank on an American campus.

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...

There was a Zionist mob last night at UCLA launching fireworks at student protesters and viciously beating students. They called for a second Nakba and used genocidal language. They did this with impunity.

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.

'You're by yourself!' shouts one man from the pro-Israel mob before he and others grab an isolated protester, throw him to the ground, and start beating him.

If anyone has tips about any of the people in the pro-Israel mob, dm for signal or email me [email protected]

Terror with impunity. Self-professed proudly Zionist mobs attacking the student encampment at UCLA tonight.

Columbia's web page discussing its regret for calling in police to arrest students in 1968 is displaying a warning about limited access due to NYPD on campus arresting students.

May Columbia never live this down.

Yeah, that makes sense.

LEAK BY COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY STUDENTS: CNN got the faces of everyone arrested in one of the police buses and they’re planning on airing them. Reporters laughed when questioned about the danger this could pose to students. #cu4palestine

The NYPD aren't done brutalizing students. They moved a few blocks to CCNY and are now going after protestors there.

I will never work with Columbia affiliate on any academic project, collaboration, or research again. This is unconscionable. There should be a full academic boycott of Columbia until the board and president Minouche Shafik resign. This is a disgrace.

CW: footage of police violence

JFREJ members are outside CCNY supporting the student protestors. We've seen violence from the NYPD:
-charging the crowd
-kettling
-throwing protestors to the ground
-beating them with batons
-indiscriminate arrests without warning

Why did the police break into affinity housing on a public street? Columbia University? NYPD NEWS
