**Try as the 5 eyes media might- what happened is discernible via the reports**

[**Violence at UCLA as Gaza protest camp attacked by counter-demonstrators**](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/may/01/first-thing-violence-at-ucla-as-gaza-protest-camp-attacked-by-counter-demonstrators)

> **People wielding sticks and poles tried to tear down wooden boards being held up as a makeshift barricade to protect pro-Palestinian protesters,** some holding placards or umbrellas. **At least one firework was thrown into the camp.**

**There is video of more than one firework being thrown into the camps in what had to have been an attempt to set the tents on fire**

> At one point, **a group of counter-demonstrators attacked one person, piling on to them before kicking and beating them as they lay on the ground, [video](https://twitter.com/TeresaWatanabe/status/1785575610469007471) posted on social media by an Los Angeles Times reporter showed**

**The attacking went on for hours while law enforcement watched- The Guardian obfuscates this fact by using the language as follows**

> **Later**, ABC7 showed LAPD officers in riot gear moving in.

[Globe and Mail](https://www.theglobeandmail.com/world/article-violence-breaks-out-at-ucla-while-police-clear-pro-palestinian/)

> **After a couple of hours of scuffles** between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli demonstrators at UCLA, police wearing helmets and face shields formed lines and slowly separated the groups
> 
> The clashes at UCLA **took place around a tent encampment built by pro-Palestinian protesters, who erected barricades and plywood for protection** – while **counterprotesters tried to pull them down**. Video showed fireworks exploding over and in the encampment. People threw chairs and at one point a group piled on a person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them with sticks until others pulled them out of the scrum.
> 
> **It was not clear how many people might be injured.**

**The Globe and Mail included photos of the anti genocide/pro Palestinian protestors being arrested- but none of the pro- Israel protestors. Why?**

**What’s also interesting about the media coverage of this incident?The near silence. There is very little American reporting on the protest encampment attack.**

**Fox News coverage is one sided. As would be expected. The so called leftist media is obfuscating.** **Choosing to write/present this incident in the same way we, for example, see the conflict between Russia and Ukraine presented.**

**[Al Jazeera had on the ground](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/5/1/ucla-clashes-pro-palestinian-protesters-attacked-by-israel-supporters) coverage**

###### UCLA clashes: Pro-Palestinian protesters attacked by Israel supporters

> *Police delay intervention into ‘shocking’ attack, featuring masked vigilantes armed with pepper spray and fireworks.*
> 
> **Witnesses said the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) only intervened after nearly four hours of the attacks,** which started overnight into Wednesday w**hen masked pro-Israel counter-demonstrators, who appeared in their hundreds from outside the university campus, hurled fireworks into the encampment**.
> 
> **The attackers, carrying Israeli flags, then tried to tear down the pro-Palestinian camp, assaulting students with pepper spray, sticks, stones and metal fencing. Police stood by, failing to protect students, who re-commandeered the metal fencing thrown at them to shield themselves**, said Joey Scott, an investigative journalist speaking to Al Jazeera from the scene.
> 
> **Before the police arrived, a group reportedly piled on one person who lay on the ground, kicking and beating them until others pulled them out of the scrum.**
> 
> **The vigilante mob appeared to come from outside the campus. “They appear to be all largely people who are not of student age and they’re not from the UCLA campus,** but what they’re doing is trying to harass and attack the pro-Palestinian demonstrators,” said Reynolds.

**Quickly**

**Pro Israel protestors attacked the encampment- Using fireworks they attempted to start fires at the sites. They came armed with sticks, poles and mace to attack the protestors. Law enforcement/security allowed the attacking to go on for hours. Fighting and injury ensued. Arrests were made, but, msm is not showing, imagery of the pro Israel non- student attackers being arrested.** (**not that I’ve seen at the time of publishing this post)**

**Perceptions managed.**
