I’ve seen several blog posts uncritically sharing the media reporting that “the protests were violent”. On the ground reporting indicates that the violence was, not surprisingly, being carried out by “counter protesters”. Mostly non-students, mostly men. Violent thugs beating up non-violent protesters.

The UCLA Palestine Solidarity encampment has so far appeared free from serious police interference today.
They did however have run in’s with an antagonistic group of Zionist who became violent.

As I was pointing out five days ago, the zionist mob that’s been showing up at UCLA is increasingly violent and dangerous.
Last night around 100 zionist attacked the UCLA encampment. There’s video of UCLA’s private security letting these guys in and just watching as they dragged out protesters to beat.
Several students were seen bloodied after being jumped by the zionist mob.
The protest was peaceful prior to this police enabled mob violence.
