In reply to the discussion: Pro-Israel protesters at UCLA threw a bag of live mice into the pro-Gaza encampment [View all]

(3,884 posts)217. Lol. Pure theater and attempted provocation.
I have to laugh or I'd cry.
HE walked over to the protesters, and laid his hand on the arm of one, with a slight push, after exclaiming he was going through. When he realized what he'd done, he put his arms up and said "I have my hands up, I'm not hurting them". Then he turned his back and his backpack was pushing into them. At no time did they lay a hand on him or touch him that I could see. So, assault??
This young man is a professional provocateur. He has more videos out, provoking, taunting and inciting. It's theater with the intent to malign and demonize the demontrators who clearly don't want to engage with him. They are wise to his tactics.
Seems a lot of people here think he is heroic and admirable. To each his own, I guess, but I draw the line at misrepresentations of the actions of the protesters.

They can't dress it up and they can't get around the fact that they fucking hate Israel because it is full of Jews.

He was not inconvenienced. He was ASSAULTED by those 4 protesters who pushed against him to block him.

Even if true, that doesn't make it ok to assault Jewish students who are not part of the protests.
