"Mob of UCLA students corner a journalist, assault him and hold him hostage against a wall. Earlier in the day the reporter was robbed by activists with campus security refusing to help, telling him they had received a ‘Stand Down’ order," said another message on X.

 

“Brave Jewish UCLA student who was denied entry to the university building by anti-Israel protesters delivers powerful speech calling out the masked activists. “Whilst they cower behind their masks and hide who they are, we stand tall and proudly voice our message to the world,” reads another message.

“When a jewish student ends up at the Emergency room, unconscious, hit violently in the head , is still FREE SPEECH ?????? These students from UCLA copy-pasted all the terrorists’ tactics. Violence just comes naturally. This. Is. Not. Acceptable !,” tweeted former TV journalist miha schwartzenberg.
