A Jewish woman was beaten to unconsciousness by pro-Hamas occupiers at UCLA while campus security refused to intervene. A group of Jewish students responded by returning to exact revenge and then, only then, did Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) finally find a voice to condemn “detestable violence on campus”. How convenient. How transparent.

Where was campus security? Intimidation by pro-Hamas occupiers towards students, faculty and staff, especially Jews, has been going on almost two weeks, with nary any interference from administrators.

Speaking with Fox News, professor Nir Hoftman recalled his hostile encounters with the protesters and accused them of deep antisemitism.
“This was never peaceful,” he said. “Jews were not allowed to go into the campus. Jews were not allowed to go into the library. Jews were not allowed to go to classes. It was never peaceful. They’re vandalizing the entire quad.”

Hoftman added that there had been a “total breakdown of law and order” and denounced local authorities for restraining the police from disbanding the camp until Wednesday. To emphasize his point, he recalled an encounter he had with the protesters days before.

“You might be shocked, but I’m not — because these people attacked me a few days ago,” he said when hosts asked if he was shocked by the violent scenes involved in the police storming of the encampment.

The administrators of many of the universities hosting these encampments have either been too fearful to act or actually sympathize with the pro-Hamas brownshirts.
