Here’s what happened at UCLA before pro-Israel counterprotesters attacked pro-Palestinian protesters

Conflict erupted out on UCLA’s campus in the late hours of Tuesday night as pro-Israel counterprotesters attacked members of the “Palestinian Solidarity Encampment” and law enforcement failed to reestablish peace until around 4 a.m., prompting the university to cancel all classes on Wednesday, May 1.

UCLA leadership is now under fire for its slow response to quell last night’s attack, which Gov. Gavin Newsom declared “unacceptable” and UCLA Chancellor Gene Block has vowed will be thoroughly investigated.

The outburst of violence was the culmination of tension that has been simmering on campus since the start of the Israel-Hamas war and rapidly escalated after students’ occupation of Royce Quad last Thursday.
