Free speech for me, but not for thee
Pro-Israel counter-protestors attacked a peaceful anti-war encampment of UCLA students.
Just before midnight, a large group of counterdemonstrators, wearing black outfits and white masks, arrived on campus and tried to tear down the barricades surrounding the encampment. Campers, some holding lumber and wearing goggles and helmets, rallied to defend the encampment’s perimeter.Videos showed fireworks being set off and at least one being thrown into the camp. Over the next few hours, counterdemonstrators threw objects, including wood and a metal barrier, at the camp and those inside, with fights repeatedly breaking out.
The violence is the worst on campus since counterprotesters, who support Israel, set up a dueling area near where the protesters were camping.
Some tried to force their way into the camp, and the pro-Palestinian side used pepper spray to defend themselves.
A group of security guards could be seen observing the clashes but did not move in to stop them...
Some people in the camp were being treated for eye irritation and other wounds. The extent of the injuries was unclear, though The Times saw several people who were bleeding and needed medical attention.
Yes, the LAPD did show up, but not to stop the violence.
According to a witness who spoke to the BBC, a university security team stood back and watched as they thought they could no longer “safely hold” the space between the attackers and the encampment, after a barrier fence was knocked down.

If the situation was reversed you know damn well that the cops would have been all over the anti genocide protesters.
A must read from Michael Hudson
Bibi was on the Twit demanding that America must crack down on the protests. Anyone interested in the tweet?
Which AIPAC/MIC/pharma/bank bought politician are you going to vote for? Don’t be surprised when nothing changes.
Voting is like driving with a toy steering wheel.
He never promised not to tear gas your kid though

Well, I guess that it is time
for the Zionists to "push all the Americans into the sea."
After all, who's gonna stop them?
Twice bitten, permanently shy.
As John F. Kennedy said,

Twice bitten, permanently shy.
Typical coverage by the MSM!

Ha…look at the ratio
Dana Bash is getting bashed in the replies.

Bullshit stinks

Your source Dana may have a platform
but his message is not worth consideration.
The newest bullshit is that the protests aren’t organic
and most of the protesters are paid to be there. And full of people who aren’t supposed to be here. But of course no one says that of the people who are beating up the anti genocide protesters. I’m thoroughly disgusted with the people who have no problem with killing innocent civilians or want the protests shutdown because they think that the students don’t have the right to do that while on campus.
See the tweet I’ll post in a few in the news and blues.

Yup, snoop. I'm disgusted with people saying Soros paid for
tents at Columbia U. For pete's sake. And who's funding pro-Israel/Zionist [protesters-insert appropriate name here.]?
