There are no limits to their disgusting immorality
They are now on the offense making jokes about dead Palestinians.
It's truly getting hard not to hate them.

I’m a UCLA professor. Why didn’t the administration stop last night’s egregious violence?
The university should have anticipated Tuesday night’s chaos — but security personnel were nowhere to be found
#UCLA, the top-rated public university in the United States, experienced one of the darkest nights in its 105-year history on Tuesday. Over the course of my 33-year career at UCLA, I have never seen anything so terrifying take place.
Around 11 p.m., a group of masked counter-demonstrators made their way to the Royce Quad in the heart of campus and began to attack the encampment set up last week by demonstrators opposing the war in Gaza. They threw a firecracker into the encampment, tore down its outer walls, threw heavy objects at demonstrators and instigated direct physical confrontations. Those in the encampment were left to fend for themselves against a violent band of thugs intent on inflicting damage.

They used fireworks, irritant chemical sprays, poles made of metal and sticks made of wood – as well as fists and feet – and more than 100 students were injured, according to protest organisers, some of whom were admitted to hospital.

Pro Israeli hooligans shooting fireworks into the tents of student protesters while the police stand by and does nothing to stop them.
What will happen if one of the tents catches fire? Will they charge the hooligans for attempted murder? Or just blame the students for it?
TikTok removed the video before I could save it.
Phil Agre saw the dark side of the Internet 30 years ago. Why did no one listen?
In 1994 — before most Americans had an email address or Internet access or even a personal computer — Philip Agre foresaw that computers would one day facilitate the mass collection of data on everything in society.
That process would change and simplify human behavior, wrote the then UCLA humanities professor. And because that data would be collected not by a single, powerful “big brother” government but by lots of entities for lots of different purposes, he predicted that people would willingly part with massive amounts of information about their most personal fears and desires. ...
