U.S. District Judge Mark Scarsi’s ruling came in a lawsuit filed in June by three Jewish students at UCLA. The students alleged that they experienced discrimination on campus during the protest because of their faith and that UCLA failed to ensure access to campus for all Jewish students.

“In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, Jewish students were excluded from portions of the UCLA campus because they refused to denounce their faith.” Scarsi wrote.

    I have no idea, and people do do some ignorant shit in the name of protests sometimes, but I’m just waiting to hear that this was either (a) some kind of horseshit exaggeration of an underlying reality that bears only a vague resemblence to what the Jewish students are saying happened, or else (b) a false flag.

    I understand the students blocked access to the classrooms, but this makes it sound like they were singling out Jewish students and blocking them.

      Many of the protestors were Jewish themselves. Those people reporting that they were blocked were zionists who took exception to the protestors and did not behave politely or quietly

    Can UCLA and police violently assault protesters?

    What’s the judges ruling on the real crime that happened not this imagined racism bullshit?

    In the year 2024, in the United States of America, in the State of California, in the City of Los Angeles, students were violently assault by police forces and pro-Israeli protestors of the UCLA campus because they refused to accept genocide”.

    I bet all you liberals reading this will 100% claim you were always against the genocide 20 years from now.

    What would you have done during the rise of fascism?

    Apparently, vote it in and enjoy the spoils.

      I would have died. The fascists would have come into my home to murder me and my family because of my ethnicity. What a luxury you have in assuming freedom of action.

      As a member of a family who were living in a fascist country, the answer is hide or get shot. I’m (obviously) descended from the part of my family who managed to avoid getting executed.

      The reason that was possible was due to far right propaganda, which, by the looks of it has you held pretty tightly.
