Zionist mobs attack UCLA protesters

California has been the scene of some violence as 60 pro-"Israel" demonstrators tried barging into the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA, starting a fight after pro-"Israel" demonstrators threw fireworks at the encampment.

For the past few days, pro-"Israel" demonstrators have been waving Israeli flags, speaking through megaphones, playing music, and holding up images of the Israeli captives.

The pro-Palestinian encampment was declared illegal by officials at UCLA who warned protesters of consequences if they did not leave. 

After the encampment was set up at Royce Hall, officials did not intervene, saying that it was to support the freedom of speech, but it was not long until pro-"Israel" groups began harassing the protesters.

After hurling insults at him, a Zionist mob brutally beat up a pro-#Palestine protester at #UCLA amid fierce clashes at the campus.

The university's chancellor, Gene Block, called the strategy of protesters entering the campus in his statement "shocking and shameful" and claimed that protesters who engaged in such behavior could be suspended or expelled.

It is worth mentioning that over 2,000 people have been arrested on US university campuses in the past three weeks as they took part in the pro-Palestine protests, urging their universities to divest from all investments linked to the Israeli occupation.
