For the record: “The Truth Behind the UCLA Protests” | Dr Phil

 

Click above for the video

Our very own are studying at UCLA. Soon to graduate, protestors permitting. That’s to say: the administration of UCLA permitting, because they’ve allowed the Tent-city to stay there, despite being against multiple College rules.... (It is not a free speech issue because the encampments violate multiple college rules on time, place and method).

The above video is a good piece of reportage by Dr Phil, a guy who I’ve known about, of course, but never really followed. He’s now got his own show.

The situation on the quad at UCLA is a microcosm of the Middle East. The Jewish students go the protesters saying they'd like to talk; they want peace. The pro-Hamas student demonstrators tell them to fuck off and they want to kill them. The Israel/Gaza thing in a nutshell on one quad.

ADDED: 400 Jewish students at UCLA cleaned up the quad on 5th May. Story on X by Amy Alkon. Apparently the damage, the graffiti, etc, will cost in the millions to fix. I don’t doubt it.
