Why did you call the attack on the encampment a "melee," rather than what it was, a lynch mob attack. Why are you repeating uncritical, wild accusations that a non-violent protest violently attacked Jews. I was there, that didn't happen. Do you have no ethics? newpol.org/issue_post/o...

This did not happen. The opposite occurred. A Zionist lynch mob attacked pro-Palestine students, faculty, and community members at the UCLA encampment. I know, I was there. The encampment was overtly non-violent. newpol.org/issue_post/o...

This is 100 percent factual and I took pictures that prove it. The UCLA Encampment even had Seder. It was stridently ANTI-ZIONIST, but Jewish people were always present and welcome. newpol.org/issue_post/o...

I hate what Rolling Stone has become. You can draw a straight line between their most talented writers being laid off over the last few months, and allowing an Israeli agent to whitewash their genocide of Palestinians. This isn't journalism or an Op-ed piece. It's shameless war propaganda.

Also, you are not one to talk. You are sexually abusive yourself. You are still being an asshole online after it previously got you in trouble. You have threatened to rape and murder marginalized people. Now you're making jokes about rape in Okinawa to win online arguments. You're garbage.

Antisemitism is far more common on the right. Anti-Zionism is often wrongly conflated with Antisemitism. Trying to both sides this is stupid at best and active reactionary propaganda at worst.

You think 50K a year is middle class? In LA the median income is about 80K. I was making about 42K as an Uber driver and was living in precarity paycheck to paycheck. At least in large urban areas 50K is precarious lower middle at best.
