Four UCLA student journalists attacked by pro-Israel counterprotesters on campus
Four UCLA student journalists attacked by pro-Israel counterprotesters on campus https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2024-05-01/four-student-journalists-attacked-by-counterprotesters-at-ucla
LAPD, California Highway Patrol, and the LA Sheriff's Department went on the UCLA campus and violently dismantled the Palestine solidarity encampment. It is estimated that over 100 people, including students and faculty, were taken into police custody. At least one person was shot in the head with a rubber coated bullet at point-blank range.
The UCLA pro-genocide Israeli protest is now consistently shelling fireworks into the Palestinian encampment. There are no repercussions for them while the UCLA admin continues to threaten to arrest and expel their students for supporting Palestinians.
The collapse of hospitals and rescue services means many now die in obscurity
Gaza’s Palestinian health authorities say they can no longer count all their dead. Hospitals, emergency services and communications are barely functioning. Extracting bodies from the vast number of collapsed buildings is a gargantuan task and not a priority while the war continues.The nearly seven-month war has taken a devastating toll on Gaza’s residents. Health authorities say that more than 34,000 people have been killed so far, roughly 1.5% of the total prewar population. Their figures don’t say how many were combatants.
Just a reminder for people who may not know, in light of protestors at UCLA being shot in the face with rubber bullets— rubber bullets are not bullets made of rubber. They are metal bullets encased in rubber.
Despite being called “non-lethal” or sometimes “less lethal”, they are well known to cause death and permanent disability.
Here’s a photo showing their size— these are actual rubber bullets used during the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.
Do not let them downplay the severity of what they are subjecting this students to for standing against genocide. Stay safe and stay educated.
EDIT: Twitter banned @/nosferatusexgod, the student shot, whose tweet I linked to (as a primary source) at the top of the post. Screenshots of the tweet I originally linked to can be found here.

Hind Rajab was a 5 year old girl in Gaza who was killed while she hid alone in a car, along with the paramedics who tried to rescue her. Yesterday students at Columbia seized the administration building and renamed it in her honor.
