Pro-Israeli Mob Terrorizes Palestinian Supporters With Violent Attack At UCLA
For the last month at college campuses nationwide, supporters of Palestine have been speaking out against Israel’s barbaric genocide in Gaza, which has seen the murder of at least 34,000 innocent Palestinians, many of whom have been women and children. Last night, a violent pro-Israeli mob launched an attack at one of the college protests taking place at UCLA, and the report below is from the CBC in Canada:
It’s hard to find fair reports from any of the mainstream news outlets in America who seek to vilify peaceful pro-Palestinian protesters as “antisemitic.” In fact, it’s a deliberate strategy to conflate speaking out against Israel’s genocide in Gaza as antisemitic in this truly deranged country. There are some good videos below from independent journalists on Twitter, showing how the Zionist mob incited the violence last night:
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 @latimes @safinazzal on the scene. Where is UCLA security? pic.twitter.com/zjYNFWSK7r

UCLA’s student newspaper The Daily Bruin has been doing solid reporting on the protests, but now the school has reportedly taken the paper’s website offline due to an article documenting the violent attack from the pro-Israeli thugs. Very dark, very insane times:
UCLA has taken down the Daily Bruin website (https://t.co/pM1MLFobH8).
I’ve been told it was done to sensor the student journalists. They sent me a copy of their most recent article before the site was taken down. pic.twitter.com/v9YsycPmXo

Here is a download of the article that UCLA is censoring. https://t.co/kYBYCx5H2L pic.twitter.com/J407ImEdtq

ADDED:
The Daily Bruin clarified that their site is “independently managed”:
The Daily Bruin website is independently managed. Due to heavy traffic, the site may be slow to load or become intermittently inaccessible. The May 1 issue is available on newsstands across the UCLA campus as we work to resolve these issues.
