US police resort to tear gas, rubber bullets as anti-Israel protests rock university campuses
The US police have used tear gas and rubber bullets as anti-Israel protests are further spreading across university campuses in the country.
"Resort to" seems like it's understating a bit the conscious choice of violence on the cops' part. These demonstrations have been putting nonviolent pressure on the university admins to divest, that's all. And the protesters are treated like an armed force who is inflicting violence. So far, as far as I know, the only ones starting violence have been israel supporting zionists who have shown up to UCLA (may have been other universities too, not sure) and based on reports and some clips I saw, attacked the encampment with fireworks, attacked people with baseball bats and wooden boards, assaulting them for hours, while security and cops either left or stood by and did nothing.

Exactly right 😂
Huh? Why? Do you have a problem with Iran's press tv?
I guess he left without explaining why a non US news outlet will get him to block me... Sad that you didn't give us a chance to understand you better... @downpunxx@fedia.io
