Pro-Palestinian activists turned violent last Wednesday night as they protested a pro-Israel movie screening at University of California, Irvine (UCI), and in the process hunted down a Jewish woman who was forced to hide and call for police rescue.

At least 50 anti-Israel protesters from the Muslim Student Union and the group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at UCI physically blocked the screening of “Beneath The Helmet,” a documentary about the IDF shown in an event hosted by Students Supporting Israel at UCI as part of a series of Peace Week events.

The protesters blocked the exits to the screening while shouting “long live the intifada,” as well as other “profanity-laced chants” according to the Orange County Register. The Jewish students were forced to call police, who escorted them to safety. …

Uzi is a family of Israeli open-bolt, blowback-operated submachine guns. Smaller variants are considered to be machine pistols. The Uzi was one of the first weapons to use a telescoping bolt design which allows the magazine to be housed in the pistol grip for a shorter weapon.

It’s a shame that University of California, Irvine, is a gun free zone. This could have turned out much better and made the world a safer place for normal people if the targets had been armed. Of course, the possibility that decent people might defend themselves against thugs is exactly why liberals want real Americans disarmed.

Of course the U will say it’s their freedom of speech to do that.

Deport these protestors.

This is clear racism and intimidation.

The Jewish students were allowed to meet intimidation and violence with defensive weapons.

A young lady in fear for her life shot and killed or wounded 15 attackers before the surviving protesters fled in cowardice.

Oh wait, wishful thinking......

“...Peace Week...”

And Palestinian’s doing what Palestinian’s do during “peace week,” inciting violence.

One might say,

“Might be worth hanging out with Jews if for no other reason
than a chance to kick some Palestinian a.......”

Legitimately with justification.

Poor little violent Snowflakes:

The anti-Israeli groups for their part termed their violent demonstration a "success," and tried to justify their behavior by claiming to be "threatened" by the presence of two ex-IDF soldiers at the event.

Parody, satire??? Can it really be for real?

"The presence of IDF and police threatened our coalition of Arab, black, undocumented, trans, and the greater activist community."

I would bet that the ADL said nothing, they were too busy focusing of the evil of Trump and the dangers of Christian conservatives.

Another perfect example of how right Trump is about getting Muslims out of this country.

This kind of action is truly just the tip of the iceberg.

yup, the Uzi forerunner, The design of the Sa 23 series submachine guns is most notable in the West for having inspired the open-bolt, blowback-operated design of the slightly later Uzi submachine gun

Middle East and terrorism, occasional political and Jewish issues Ping List. High Volume

If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Interesting the issue on both articles and both threads seems to center on the reaction, actually non reaction, of the University. Plagued with anti-Semitism.

More important, what was the reaction of the police? hunted down a Jewish woman who was forced to hide and call for police rescue...physically blocked the screening...protesters blocked the exits to the screening while shouting This isn't a crime in California?

Actually, it’s Amreeka to the sandblowers. With what they are doing to Jews on campus, there’s Amerika mixed in too.

Moshe Dayan once said, “He is a Jew who thinks himself one”.

Starting to feel that way myself. I own an Israeli made rifle. Islam sucks. God has blessed the Jewish state. I dig pita with hummus. Jackie Mason would make a great President. So what am I, chopped liver?
