Pro-Palestinian protests grow at California campuses as opposing demonstrators clash at UCLA

LA Times  

Pro-Palestinian protests grew Thursday at California colleges and universities, including a new encampment at UCLA that drew a crowd of counterprotesters and a teach-in at UC Santa Barbara, a day after police in riot gear arrested 93 protesters at USC. “I don’t know what this university thinks it’s doing, because none of it makes sense.” Luke did not share his last name because he said he was worried about his safety and repercussions for his enrollment at USC, where campus safety officers Wednesday told students that they could face discipline for violating rules over camping and use of amplified sound. “While students have a right to protest, they do not have the right to intimidate or threaten Jewish students,” said a statement from USC’s Hillel. “Today’s events on campus included a protest action that again employed antisemitic chants including ‘there is only one solution, intifada revolution’ and ‘long live the intifada.’ These actions reflect a disturbing and quickly escalating situation nationally and on our own campus at USC.” California ‘Let her speak!’ USC campus reels after valedictorian’s speech is canceled On Wednesday, a smattering of protesters gathered by the landmark Tommy Trojan statue, some calling on USC President Carol Folt to reverse course as arguments broke out between those on opposing sides. “It is deeply concerning that USC’s response to students demonstrating peacefully in solidarity with Palestine is forcible suppression of free speech and assembly,” said CAIR-LA legal director Amr Shabaik.
