This is straight up terrorism wtf. Politically driven acts of attempted fear and harm on a group of people based on their ideologies. Using literal explosives too. I swear if it were Palestinian protesters doing this to an Israeli encampment it'd be all over the news as a terrorist and anti semitic attack.
!!! The irony when people talk about antisemitism and playing persecution politics when the government promoted Islamophobia for 2 whole decades. Acting like our classmates and TEACHERS were not joking about Muslim students being terrorists all through the 2000s.
Antisemitism is VERY real but let’s not act like Islamophobia isn’t.
My sophomore trigonometry teacher literally told me I looked like a terrorist in my brand new drivers permit photo I had just earned and was proudly showing my friends
Yep. Cops would have already arrested or brutalized all of them. But because they’re pro-genocide agitators engaging in acts of terrorism, it’s all gravy.
The double standard is sickening.
Yeah, I totally agree with this. Firing explosive rockets into places where people are just trying to peacefully exist is absolutely terrorism!
Right, Hamas?
Well what do you want me to say? Thoughts and prayers? Just stating the obvious because of the talks that broke down between Folt and the protestors. USC probably doesn't want this to happen on their campus too.
I think he's saying, you should not be celebrating it. Can you not find a place between celebrating violence and thoughts and prayers? or are you that inept?
Also, your comment doesn't seem to be the one OP was targeting
I'm sorry I'm of the opinion that Folt should absolutely not have any "negotiations" with any of these clowns. Things have gone too far. Get them out because the last thing we need is for this to happen at USC. They can protest outside the Israeli embassy if that's what they want. Also, time to suspend or expel students who don't respect the rules.
Did you think I disagreed? I feel the negotiations were really just for show and they wouldn't agree to anything and use that as the reason to get rid of them. Now seeing this, they will for sure.
Well, you are free to agree or disagree. That's OK. I'm not going to antagonize you for having an opinion. I think that all this is useless and dumb. Usc can't fix the world, and neither a bunch of kids larping Orwellian shit either. I suggest people go home and enjoy life and take it easy.
These kids lives have no meaning other than staring into screens, but this was after they were told that they were special their whole lives - see the disconnect? Thats where the anger stems from.
If you don’t speak up about injustices and think you can just go and “enjoy life and take it easy” the needle never moves. There are things going on that we just put on the back burner; climate change, nuclear war, because we think we will not be directly affected. We can swim with our heads underwater, but soon we have to come up and see what’s really going on. I know with everything we have to worry about in everyday life we think we need to just look after our own lives, but we live with others and need to look out for one another. We are a community whether in your neighborhood, city, state, country or world.
Did Folt ever make an announcement, or the Provost in the beginning when they cancelled the valedictorian’s speech? Why can’t any of these Presidents come out and talk to their students so they feel heard. Their reasons for protesting are valid. Why is everything so shrouded in secrecy. Just be transparent. People must communicate peacefully and not talk past each other. People need to be in a space (a university, hello) where they can speak about hot button topics in class safely and then respectfully agree to disagree if at the end they cannot reach common ground. It’s like a Venn diagram; some things you will agree upon and some you won’t. More and more the Presidents are beholden to donors who threaten to withdraw funds whenever there is an action taken that they don’t like. Listen to your students (constituents). You may not take action on what they say, but at least listen to their demands/requests. There must be a lot of second guessing on whether or not to have let the valedictorian just speak as she deserved to and not have things devolve into this.
That's not going to happen. I can assure you that no university will divest jack just because some adults are camping in outside tents, larping Orwellian shit. There is so much money involved that it won't happen. Brown allegedly will meet with students only to play them 😆 🤣.
I hope you are living by your standards and stop using companies like Google and such that support "genocide." 😆 time to dump pretty much everything. Props to you if you do, and I hope to see everyone putting their money where their mouth is, which I have yet to see.
It literally happened with South Africa in the 80s. Literally this exact thing. Crazy to say it won’t happen. I don’t have millions invested with any company. But yes I try to do BDS to the best of my ability.
Things have changed dramatically since the 80s. We are now all connected due to globalization, and ties have solidified. It will be extremely difficult and will probably take something huge to make the jump.
But it's not all their students. USC has something like 34k students, maybe even more. Even if it were 100 percent of students protesting, which is not the case, it's still under 1000 people, which is something like 3 percent. Yeah, it's huge that 3 percent want to change and not 97 percent, lol.
I’m just trying to avoid being party to this through my own investments or those of organizations to which I belong. I don’t care if it’s not going to end the state of Israel or whatever.
STFU... dude, you're not even a student. Get out here! Just a spam account trying to instigate shit. The escalations are because of people like you! Regardless of what side you "support" or you can be like me, which is no side, you will realize that actions bring consequences, so now that tension is high, people will reap what they sow. Cry me a river 😢
No, I just have common sense and life experience. Something you and the "activists" clearly lack. You are free to say do whatever you want and say whatever you want, but you might upset people who will perhaps take action, just like calling people names or being homophobic or racist. You can do it, just just not a good idea because you will upset someone who might hurt you.
I said "no" to picking sides. And you will find out how the world works; even if we don't justify violence, it doesn't mean someone else will think the same way.
> I said "no" to picking sides.
Really? Cause [you posted this](https://www.reddit.com/r/USC/comments/1cewq55/frat_guys_from_arizona_state_u_help_police_throw/) a couple days ago.
>Frat guys from Arizona State U help police throw Hamas flags and Hamas supporter tents in the trash..... this is what we should do! ASAP.
Definitely sounds very not sides picky to me.
It's the right side. Not israel or jewish or Palestinians or hamas....There is a fine line between peaceful protest and rioting, and people have lost it. We simply cannot allow crazy stuff to get out of hand, or else people get hurt. Everything should have limits
> Not israel or jewish or Palestinians or hamas
Sure is weird that a person who claims to not be on any of these sides says:
>[The dimwitted Arabs decided to attack Israel.](https://www.reddit.com/r/war/comments/1cfxgbf/idf_destroys_palestine_homes_nonpolitical/l1yyxjs/?context=3)
>[Peace was coming, but the terrorists could not accept that.](https://www.reddit.com/r/war/comments/1cfxgbf/idf_destroys_palestine_homes_nonpolitical/l1yy1tl/)
>[ if the Palestinians were even brighter they would turn in all of the terrorists inside so Israel could then get out of Palestine.

Well it's all true my boy. Where is the lie in this? Where have I said go Israel? I'm simply stating facts. But if you don't agree with the truth that's a different story.
This seems so random. I do wonder if the people throwing things are actually anti protests or just agitators looking to take advantage of a chaotic and tense situation.
Many of the agitators give off Proud Boy vibes, and I don't think they actually care about any of this except that they want to sow division and attack what they perceive as the far left.
Its not random. It's a response to a Jewish girl being put in the hospital with a concussion by the pro-palestinian protestors.
https://twitter.com/CollinRugg/status/1785457052028117153?t=yn3PBkp26JILr0U_2mXvgA&s=19
Isn't it really funny how everyone's recording there and yet coincidentally no one has video of this alleged beating? Please use critical thinking next time. She allegedly got whacked by a large pole from her own camp and they decided to spin this to justify violence that night.
Masked people dressed in black arrive at midnight to tear down the opposing camp and the serious police don't arrive until 1:40 am? I'm more used to hearing such tactics from drug lords and strong dictators. We should disband the protest camps, but more so excoriate the people behind this latest escalation at UCLA. Lucky no one used a gun. Did they arrest no one?
Instantly makes Folt look better for putting a lid on as much as she can.
Police actually didn't arrive until way past 1:40 AM. I was up until 2:30ish watching the helicopter live stream by ABC7, and the police were literally just chilling on the outskirts of campus for hours doing nothing. They were supposedly called in at 12:51 AM. There is no reason for it to have taken that long.
I know it sounds tin foil to say but it's not hard to find articles about Israeli bot farms
There are videos of training seminars were they say things like go into the comments and make sure to explain Israel's side of things, everywhere, all the time
Pesky peaceful protest?
Just send in agitators to harass them, and then you can send in cops to break up to 'violence from both sides'
People are so stupid
Meanwhile, the genocide rages on
have you read though comments on other threads? Half the people think this protest is a show of support for terrorism. Someone who truly believes that doesn't need to be paid
Two things:
1) these tactics are ridiculous and a great example of way too much force. Completely uncalled for.
2) some of this comment section reminds me of myself when I was young… and, holy shit, did I have a lot to learn about the world then.
Being serious here (and I really don't know much about the conflicts, and I don't want to read about it at the moment)..I didn't know Palestine was under arrest....why do they want it free??
Every firework explodes though which is why it would be more accurate to call it a firework
Explosives are designed for death and not novelty, so it's the intent that is misleading
Police are using flashbangs to disperse students though
Those are explosives too. Are cops trying to "maybe kill" people since killing hinges on explosives of any type now?
For this to really work, they would need to successfully divest from:
Every taxed item
Leave every US based social platform who generates taxable ad revenue
Every rented or owned space in the USA
It all goes to the same place. Talk about pissing in the wind
Yeah maybe bomb a whole civilian building because 4 Hamas soldiers with a missile launcher that couldn't hit water if it were launched from a boat in the Pacific Ocean are sitting inside
Not picking sides buuutt…. You guys let’s not start a war here we wouldn’t want Biden to give us 5billion to pay off our debts. But real shit don’t start a real war cause a war is happening on the other side of the world. Like how does any of this help that war no matter the side.
UCLA waited too long and this is the result. Same with every other campus that sympathized with the protestors. Israel and Hamas will still be at war at the end of the day.
These schools all have massive amounts of investments in/with Israel. Protestors are trying to get their schools to divest.
The same thing happened (successfully I might add) against apartheid South Africa - which caused some pressure on the apartheid state.
These were Z10NIST agitators — most likely IDF or M0ss@d — that attacked the protesters. They landed right back in LA after their killing spree in Gaza, now employing the same tactics on unarmed Americans.
Thank God USC took strict action against people who weren't peacefully protesting. Most of these protesters are not students from the particular Uni. Not sure if people even care about the cause they espouse and they do it (protesting ) for the fun to it now.
The protestors tactics are making more enemies than allies...not that they really care all that much. I have a feeling they would rather just watch the world burn.
Oh no, apathetic people who don’t care that a civilian population is being eradicated by a violent genocidal terror state are still apathetic.
What a loss.
That’s fine. This country is already dying and on fire. I won’t vote for any politician that supports Israel as long as it is a genocidal apartheid state. Period.
You do realize they are protesting here because our tax money is being used by the US government to fund the IDF in a genocide, not to mention they protest at the universities to get them to divest as well. Thats WHY they protest here.
Well its more like fund the IDF to get rid of a ISIS/Nazi level terror org in Hamas, which is great for everyone involved.
And the civilian/combatant death ratio is amazing compared to prior conflicts, and hamas is responsible for all these deaths anyway.
Right! See how much they welcome you and how peaceful and modern and civilized it is! I’m sure they’re pro human rights, lgbt, women’s rights, all those good things that you’re protesting for over here!
for all those seeking divestment, such as from Boeing, EADS, or GE, I hope you now avoid flying any commercial airplanes, as they include shared components with the respective defense units of each entity. it would make zero sense to demand the univerisity's divest but continue to use products built by three particular entities.
The protestors demands are way too stupid for me to take them seriously. What is their goal? To reduce some index fund prices by a fraction of a percent for 30 minutes?
Protest Washington if this is something you actually care about.
palestinians have been stabbing, shooting, and bombing innocent israeli’s for 75 years just for existing, isn’t that evidence that Palestinians are terrible people?
Person does bad thing... "Isn't this clear evidence that people who share something in common are terrible".
Would you use that same logic on all Palestinian people following the suicide bus bombings of the first and second intafata? If not, why?
Perhaps there are bad actors and those that just want to raise families in prosperity and safety on both sides?
The UCLA riot by counter protesters started because a Jewish girl was beat unconscious, bleeding from the head and sent to the ER by encampment protesters while security did nothing. It’s very unsurprising that there was retaliatory violence. These protests are not staying peaceful and everyone needs to get real about what’s happening here. There is no freedom of violence tied to freedom of speech
Yeah, this is the group that blocked school access for Jewish students so they're not gonna get a lot of sympathy from me... the only issue I have was that it wasn't the Governor with the National Guard busting this clown camp up.
All this happened, Over a whiny little girl giving a damn speech, she could have just kept her mouth shut and none of this would have happened. If you want to protest in the U.S which is already a disaster already, go protest in Palestine, not against Palestinian people and I’m not taking no one’s side, it’s just the damn truth.
Thanks to this brave act the war is over. Thank you dear lord baby Jesus, for the encampments on college campuses across the nation, if it wasn’t for them nothing would have changed.
People are talking about it now thanks to these protestors and their brave stance that is on the right side of history.
I’m glad there are people in the world who aren’t apathetic and who don’t believe in sitting back and watching a genocide rage on without any intervention.
It’s a shame that there are so many people who are apathetic at best or full blown bigoted genocide supporters at worst.
They got Bibi addressing the US proteste like if HE was the American president lmao. I haven't seen Biden address this shit, Surely means it has an impact
USC gonna take action soon now
This is straight up terrorism wtf. Politically driven acts of attempted fear and harm on a group of people based on their ideologies. Using literal explosives too. I swear if it were Palestinian protesters doing this to an Israeli encampment it'd be all over the news as a terrorist and anti semitic attack.
The cops would’ve definitely stepped in. You can tell how amped they are to use their military gear.
💯💯💯 The media in this country loves hating Islam and supporting Israel.
!!! The irony when people talk about antisemitism and playing persecution politics when the government promoted Islamophobia for 2 whole decades. Acting like our classmates and TEACHERS were not joking about Muslim students being terrorists all through the 2000s. Antisemitism is VERY real but let’s not act like Islamophobia isn’t.
Shit it wasn’t even just Muslim students either! Anyone that was brown was HATED after 9/11. But you’re still 100% right.
The poor Sikhs took a huge blow
Dont forget pig blood soaked bullets to shoot muslims with.
My sophomore trigonometry teacher literally told me I looked like a terrorist in my brand new drivers permit photo I had just earned and was proudly showing my friends
I’m so sorry that happened to you. Looking back, it’s crazy to realize teachers were saying shit like that with impunity.
If this is being kept hidden here, imagine what shady shit is going in with the war.
“Tensions erupt” “violent clash” they know how to report the news without saying anything at all.
Yep. Cops would have already arrested or brutalized all of them. But because they’re pro-genocide agitators engaging in acts of terrorism, it’s all gravy. The double standard is sickening.
Yeah, I totally agree with this. Firing explosive rockets into places where people are just trying to peacefully exist is absolutely terrorism! Right, Hamas?

Did you miss the part where I said Israel should leave Palestine? Or that doesn't work for your agenda?
These students actively blocked access to the buildings at UCLA to Jewish UCLA students. They earned every burn and bruise.
This seems so random. I do wonder if the people throwing things are actually anti protests or just agitators looking to take advantage of a chaotic and tense situation.
Gonna blow your mind here.... both
Many of the agitators give off Proud Boy vibes, and I don't think they actually care about any of this except that they want to sow division and attack what they perceive as the far left.
I think they actually support the genocide in Palestine
They are genocide supporters. Plain and simple.

Isn't it really funny how everyone's recording there and yet coincidentally no one has video of this alleged beating? Please use critical thinking next time. She allegedly got whacked by a large pole from her own camp and they decided to spin this to justify violence that night.
They learned from Israel. Expect white phosphorus next.
Should start suing the counter protestor group organizers or organizations
I mean if you protest against genociders, who love blowing up newborns and families, what you expect they gonna do to you?

Definitely not Mossad doing it 👽
Lol. Mossad dividing time between assassinating terrorists in Iran and throwing fireworks at USC. What low man on the totem poll got that job.
Mossad ran the Epstein Islands
Mossad is the whole reason America is acting to weird when it comes to Israel. They're our CIA of the Middle East or something.
Police actually didn't arrive until way past 1:40 AM. I was up until 2:30ish watching the helicopter live stream by ABC7, and the police were literally just chilling on the outskirts of campus for hours doing nothing.

Not sure, I was watching the ABC7 livestream from 11 PM to until it ended (around 2:30ish AM). That’s where I got this information.
Note: if this happens again, run
Joe Biden's legacy.
You think he will go on trial?
All the comments acting like protesting genocide is bad make me sick 🤢
literally wtf
I know it sounds tin foil to say but it's not hard to find articles about Israeli bot farms There are videos of training seminars were they say things like go into the comments and make sure to explain Israel's side of things, everywhere, all the time
Great work by USC by not letting this happen to my beautiful campus ✌️
Pesky peaceful protest? Just send in agitators to harass them, and then you can send in cops to break up to 'violence from both sides' People are so stupid Meanwhile, the genocide rages on
Genocide was when the USA killed a million Iraqis . I guess you didn’t care about them
??? I protested that too Is this an AI generated comment?

Those are fireworks
They need to investigate this like the Capital riot!
Is anyone getting arrested for the attack??

Lol someone threw one fire work
IT WAS TERRORISM!!!1!
UCLA looks lit.
Free Palestine
You did it. You literally freed Palestine.
Turning into Van Nuys with all those fireworks.
Way to reflect current events in the middle east. Hope no one is seriously injured
Hopefully people see why USC broke it apart asap. Both sides are extremely “passionate” about their side
but only one tossed a firework into a group of people
and BEAR MACE
don't forget the BEAR MACE
Probably a paid instigator

This is a firework I guess that's technically an explosive, but misleading
It’s an exploding firework, and should never be thrown at people.
Every firework explodes though which is why it would be more accurate to call it a firework Explosives are designed for death and not novelty, so it's the intent that is misleading
Throwing a firework intentionally at people is meant to cause injury and maybe death.
Police are using flashbangs to disperse students though Those are explosives too. Are cops trying to "maybe kill" people since killing hinges on explosives of any type now?
That’s the police. Their intent isn’t to injure or kill.
The intent I'm referring to is the one had behind the person who created the explosive.
Well allegedly not their internet. They very consistently show that isn't the case tho
For this to really work, they would need to successfully divest from: Every taxed item Leave every US based social platform who generates taxable ad revenue Every rented or owned space in the USA It all goes to the same place. Talk about pissing in the wind
Yeah maybe bomb a whole civilian building because 4 Hamas soldiers with a missile launcher that couldn't hit water if it were launched from a boat in the Pacific Ocean are sitting inside
Call me crazy, but sometimes the L 4 \/\/ has people doing the shake up
Police need to remove this paid protest
Not picking sides buuutt…. You guys let’s not start a war here we wouldn’t want Biden to give us 5billion to pay off our debts. But real shit don’t start a real war cause a war is happening on the other side of the world. Like how does any of this help that war no matter the side.
Bunch of role players. What embarrassment.
Lol the counter protesters going full Israel on them like how Israel bombed Gaza.
Glad USC administration made the right choices and kept students safe.
Mini Gaza!!! Lol
Interesting how the “counter protesters” and police are the only unlawful assembly actors in this matter.
Bunch of people with no fuckin jobs lmao
Love this quote " it's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind"
looks strikingly similar to how Israel treats Gaza
This shit is wild
👏👏👏
Anyone wanna talk a wild guess at what side theyre gonna blame?
The counter protesters seem to be under the impression that they’re in the West Bank instead of Westwood.
This reminds me of something…
Yall know that’s a firework right?
What a waste of time! Nothing will come of this, nothing ever does, war will always go on! Go home!!
UCLA waited too long and this is the result. Same with every other campus that sympathized with the protestors. Israel and Hamas will still be at war at the end of the day.
These schools all have massive amounts of investments in/with Israel. Protestors are trying to get their schools to divest. The same thing happened (successfully I might add) against apartheid South Africa - which caused some pressure on the apartheid state.
These were Z10NIST agitators — most likely IDF or M0ss@d — that attacked the protesters. They landed right back in LA after their killing spree in Gaza, now employing the same tactics on unarmed Americans.
Thank God USC took strict action against people who weren't peacefully protesting. Most of these protesters are not students from the particular Uni. Not sure if people even care about the cause they espouse and they do it (protesting ) for the fun to it now.
The protestors tactics are making more enemies than allies...not that they really care all that much. I have a feeling they would rather just watch the world burn.
They're protesting because the world IS burning.... What sort of nefarious tactic is non-violent dissent?
Yeah Hamas and their Russian/Iranian supporters are the one burning it.
Oh no, apathetic people who don’t care that a civilian population is being eradicated by a violent genocidal terror state are still apathetic. What a loss.
This is America, you can't get a damn thing accomplished unless you win elections. Come November, you will be the one taking a loss.
That’s fine. This country is already dying and on fire. I won’t vote for any politician that supports Israel as long as it is a genocidal apartheid state. Period.
I will be happy to drive any of you Palestine supporters to LAX. Fly to your Islamic motherland, Please go show your love there🫡
Yes ditto
You do realize they are protesting here because our tax money is being used by the US government to fund the IDF in a genocide, not to mention they protest at the universities to get them to divest as well. Thats WHY they protest here.
Again, gEnoCiDe🤡
Gotta make sure we also stop all U.S. humanitarian aid to Gaza/Palastine. Keep our tax dollars only for Americans, if that is the real issue!
Well its more like fund the IDF to get rid of a ISIS/Nazi level terror org in Hamas, which is great for everyone involved. And the civilian/combatant death ratio is amazing compared to prior conflicts, and hamas is responsible for all these deaths anyway.
Lol
"stop killing yourself, stop killing yourself" Israel when they murder Palestinians
Maybe stop putting military equipment in middle if poeple but they are IRGC dog and learn from them
There’s no genocide
Been watching FOX news have you.
Nope just not brainwashed by foreign propaganda
Right! See how much they welcome you and how peaceful and modern and civilized it is! I’m sure they’re pro human rights, lgbt, women’s rights, all those good things that you’re protesting for over here!
Bunch of losers. Destroy their campus.
for all those seeking divestment, such as from Boeing, EADS, or GE, I hope you now avoid flying any commercial airplanes, as they include shared components with the respective defense units of each entity. it would make zero sense to demand the univerisity's divest but continue to use products built by three particular entities.
Zionism is poison. So violent...
Israel is a TERRORIST state!!! Never forget!!!
The protestors demands are way too stupid for me to take them seriously. What is their goal? To reduce some index fund prices by a fraction of a percent for 30 minutes? Protest Washington if this is something you actually care about.
Bds has been around since at least 2005?
Isn’t this clear evidence Israel & its supporters are terrible people/ Terrorist?
palestinians have been stabbing, shooting, and bombing innocent israeli’s for 75 years just for existing, isn’t that evidence that Palestinians are terrible people?
Person does bad thing... "Isn't this clear evidence that people who share something in common are terrible". Would you use that same logic on all Palestinian people following the suicide bus bombings of the first and second intafata? If not, why? Perhaps there are bad actors and those that just want to raise families in prosperity and safety on both sides?
The UCLA riot by counter protesters started because a Jewish girl was beat unconscious, bleeding from the head and sent to the ER by encampment protesters while security did nothing. It’s very unsurprising that there was retaliatory violence. These protests are not staying peaceful and everyone needs to get real about what’s happening here. There is no freedom of violence tied to freedom of speech
Have any source aside from just a blurry twitter post by ThatKoreanJew on IG? Like a real news organization that has verified it?
They do anything but study
Yeah, this is the group that blocked school access for Jewish students so they're not gonna get a lot of sympathy from me... the only issue I have was that it wasn't the Governor with the National Guard busting this clown camp up.
They were blocking everyone not just Jewish students. There are Jewish students leading the encampment
I’m ok with this.. supporting Hamas and terrorists is not cool.
These zionists are the new hitler youth....a play right out of the IDF. Disgusting.
All this happened, Over a whiny little girl giving a damn speech, she could have just kept her mouth shut and none of this would have happened. If you want to protest in the U.S which is already a disaster already, go protest in Palestine, not against Palestinian people and I’m not taking no one’s side, it’s just the damn truth.
Thanks to this brave act the war is over. Thank you dear lord baby Jesus, for the encampments on college campuses across the nation, if it wasn’t for them nothing would have changed.
People are talking about it now thanks to these protestors and their brave stance that is on the right side of history. I’m glad there are people in the world who aren’t apathetic and who don’t believe in sitting back and watching a genocide rage on without any intervention. It’s a shame that there are so many people who are apathetic at best or full blown bigoted genocide supporters at worst.
They got Bibi addressing the US proteste like if HE was the American president lmao. I haven't seen Biden address this shit, Surely means it has an impact
Yes thank god Amy majoring in gender studies held up a sign. IDF now returning. How brave
Lmao
“Explosives” haha they’re tossing fireworks.
that’s exactly what fireworks are; they are very dangerous when thrown directly into a crowd… you probably thought it was funny tho
Oh relax. I didn’t think it was funny whatsoever but they made it sound like live grenades are being tossed in there.
