  1. Wtf are they even protesting? I keep trying to find articles on what the protest is and it just says “ free Palestine” what does that even mean? For the U.S . To send soldiers there and save them?

  2. For security purposes… in our encampment. What is this third grade and you’re allowed to appropriate a bush fort as yours and play pretend?

  3. Here's the thing, it's fairly simple:

    If you are passionate and devoted to a cause to the point you are willing to go past protected freedom of speech and start violating laws while protesting because you feel that is the best way to bring attention to something, you shouldn't be surprised when you do get arrested. It's as simple as that.

    These students made an encampment which is prohibited by campus rules. They were warned time and time again, even while the school was tolerating this behavior at first, the students refused to let in Fire safety inspectors who just wanted to check for fire hazards and now they are playing victim about overreach and violation of rights?

    I'm sure they will sue the school for being punished…if they do, other students should sue those students for disturbing their classes and on campus events. They even canceled Sungod for this…

  4. Jewish and Muslim students are just that. The people who are fighting each other on campuses are allowing themselves to forget that Netanyahu and Hamas are the problems, not the Israelis and not the Palestinians. What would happen if Jewish and Muslim students joined forces against injustice itself.

  5. "The Palestinian people do not exist. Between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese there are no differences. We are all part of one people, the Arab nation… Just for political reasons we carefully underwrite our Palestinian identity because it is of national interest for the Arabs to advocate the existence of Palestinians to balance Zionism. The existence of a separate Palestinian identity exists only for tactical reasons."

    Zuhei Mohsen – March 1977

    Leader of Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) between 1971 and 1979.

  6. Students all over the globe, including Europe, Azia, Australia and South America should protest too! It is protest against the war and killing! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤students protestors

  7. So their argument of peoples way of life being destroyed over there is to destroy other peoples lives who have no control over anything pretty much greenlighting what Israel is doing to them ….

  8. We all live on someone else’s land. (On my land there were Celtic people living 1500 years ago.)
    Palestine was NEVER ESTABLISHED AS A STATE!)
    Palestinians NEVER EXISTED. Syrian Arabs, Jordanian Arabs, Egyptian Arabs, Gaza Arabs….
    BUT NEVER PALESTINIAN. Why would people, who do not have letter P and cannot pronounce letter P call themselves Balestinians????
    On that land someone else lived for 3500 years. JEWS.
    Judea, Samaria, Israel, Galilee… Jewish land. Balestinians lost all the wars they started against Israel.
    If Balestinians had any land – who did they steal it from ? JEWS!!!
    We all live on someone else’s land. ONLY ISRAELI PEOPLE LIVE ON THEIR OWN LAND.
    Balestinian is a non existing therm. It was created just for the service of antisemitism.
    Do not believe that Mary, Jesus and all the followers WERE BALESTINIANS. They were not, even if Gaza Arabs insist on that !!!!

  9. Literally apartheid going on!

    Where is the left?

    I thought the leftists were against racism/bigotry ??

    Can a leftist answer?

    Is this right or wrong?

  10. why are these adults foreign terrorists allowed to even be there to ruin everybody's graduation? these are the people causing all this trouble, not students the school knew this was going to happen, all they had to do is look at the attending. why aren't these terror ist arrested and treated the same as they did to the protestors at the W house a few years back? these are people wanting the end of America- they should not even be allowed in this country with their ht culture. school owes the student a new graduation without adults and foreigners. this is not diversity, this is a takeover of a free country

  11. Does this 1933 newspaper article which states “JUDEA DECLARES WAR ON GERMANY” have any relevancy here? And does the map entitled NEGROLAND KINGDOM OF JUDAH have any relevancy at all as it pertains to the territory? And is NOT BEING ANTI-CHRIST CONSIDERED ANTI-SEMITIC?

  12. To those who are willing to listen, do not go out, these storms are almost over, but you will not be spared of the worst these storms have to bring, by going out now

  13. To those who are willing to listen, do not go out, these storms are almost over, but you will not be spared of the worst these storms have to bring, by going out now

  14. Intimation and deprivation is a glimpse of Islamic ways! Please open your eyes! I have lived that fear! Don’t blindly protest something based on propaganda ! Don’t forget jewish people have always been accused wrongfully through out history ! Advocate for peace! Advocate for humanity not ideology ! ☮️💟

  15. This is outrage , this is not peaceful protest to support someone who came to other’s home killing babies elderly in human act, this terrorists act as American to support terrorists it is disgusting.

  16. Three individuals from HLF,which was found guilty of funding Hamas now work for or on behalf of AMP which sponsors SJP. 1. Hossein Khatib, a board member for AMP and former regional director for HLF; 2.Jamal Said, keynote speaker at AMP fundraisers and an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation trial against HLF; and 3. Salah Sarsour, AMP board member who spent eight months in an Israeli jail for his Hamas activity.

  17. uhh, that is not blocking the "entrance" 💀. Powell library is just one of the many libraries available to students at UCLA and there are more then 1 entrance to Haines Hall etc. And its not a "day in the life of a jewish student", it sounds like someone just wanted to cause a scene because they didn't want to walk around it and is against pro-Palestinian efforts. They blocked entrance to anyone who wasn't part of the protesting movement, including myself. It was not an "you shall not pass" directed to specific students of a specific ethnicity/ancestry/religious/what have you. It was general. Also- classes in those buildings were moved in order to accommodate for the protest. Everyone should be more careful about the information spread by news channels. Easily misconstrued information leads to people being misinformed creating more room for biases and public devision. It's okay to not agree, but it's not okay to let disagreement lead to violent hatred and an unwillingness to understand other sides.
