Appreciate this article on current pro-Palestine organizing in VN, that evokes Cold War solidarities between VN and Palestine

The Los Angeles public defenders' union called the UCLA arrests 'shameful and a complete failure of leadership' and said it is ready to 'represent every person facing charges.'

To stand up against genocide and apartheid is something for which these students should be commended, not punished….All faculty and students must be released immediately and given full amnesty.

This morning I would like to lift up the statement issued by UCLA students on the night of April 30. I am haunted by this line: “The university would rather see us dead than divest.” I want to remind us all of their demands, those for which our students have risked everything.

Though it ended in extreme police violence called in by university administration, yesterday’s protest at UCLA’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment was remarkable. The overwhelming support for Palestine and pro-Palestinian protesters was a sight to behold.

Disgusting+unsurprising how politicians & mainstream media are spinning the story of student activism vs police violence. & I reshare voices SJP at UCLA in the wake of Zionist attacks at Ucla (early Wed) so we don’t forget voices of those who actually endured the violence, unarmed

Rubber bullets? Have you lost your mind UCLA? You are using rubber bullets against unarmed protestors who are *students* of your uni demanding you divest from genocide. You are attacking them to facilitate a quieter genocide. Fantastically gross legacy.

UCLA student protestors are asking that we remember why they're there: to demand divestment and an end to the genocide in Gaza.

One night after students in the UCLA Palestine solidarity encampment were attacked by a mob and left to fend for themselves, armed police are sent in, continuing the assault. Students fighting for freedom and justice are the moral core of a university. We have failed them. Shame.

UPDATE: UC had the option to deescalate and negotiate with the protestors, but it chose instead to tear down the Palestine Solidarity Encampment using flash bang grenades and rubber bullets. Arrests have been made including of UAW 4811 members.

After pro-Palestinian students at UCLA endured hate-fueled violence from a Zionist mob trying to destroy their peaceful protest, the university enlisted 100s of militarized police officers to finish the job instead of protecting them. UCLA does not know what it just started.
