UCLA clashes: Police criticised for 'delayed' response to violence
www.bbc.com
It took hours to bring the situation under control, as pro-Israeli assailants broke into a pro-Palestinian camp.

Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a “buffer zone” between the rival groups.

    Does anyone know what political stance(s) the attacking crowd is made of?

    Like, also lefties? Tankies, anarchists? Or like MAGAs?

      Right-wingers. They just happen to be zionist right-wingers.

      Same the world over because violence and fascism are the fundemental basis of right-wing political ideology, whatever local flavor it might be.

      Sorry, are you following this story generally? Lefties, tankies and anarchists all seem extremely unlikely to be involved with pro Israel attackers.

      Zionists, probably wouldn’t surprise me if they made common cause with actual neo-nazi groups as well, wouldn’t be the first time.

      MAGAs. because american conservatives are often also american evangelists, and they’ve got some weird ideas about israel. those conservatives who don’t necessarily personally believe weird stuff about israel (ie the jews having a homeland means the second coming of jesus and everything will be great for evangelical christians) are being brought along by the right-wing propaganda on this issue.

      For every large group there’s probably only only 2-8 that are genuinely knowledgeable and authentic about the beliefs being fought for. Regardless of sides.

      Or not idk… Idk why I’m posting this.

          You can boo all you want, but those are the three sides supporting Israel.

          Funny how it’s all rightists supporting them.
