Pro-Israel, Pro-Palestinian Protesters Clash at UCLA ‘Encampment’

LOS ANGELES — Roughly 2,000 pro-Israel counter-demonstrators gathered at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) on Sunday to protest near a “Palestine Solidarity Encampment” that was set up last week on campus.

As they arrived, many had to walk a gauntlet of about 100 pro-Palestinian activists, some of whom were from the encampment. Local Black Lives Matter activists had also called upon supporters to oppose the pro-Israel protesters.

Families, including small children, endured the screaming, taunting, and banging of the pro-Palestinian mob — with no UCLA security separating them.

One UCLA official told Breitbart News the university lacked sufficient personnel to provide security for the pro-Israel protesters. However, there were dozens of security officers guarding the “encampment.”

Other access routes to the central plaza were blocked. One private security employee told Breitbart News that the activists’ own security guards, dressed in fluorescent jerseys, had authority “over” her.

In other words, UCLA had effectively delegated security to the pro-Palestinian activists — the same people who have excluded media from their encampment, as Breitbart News reported Friday, assaulting journalists who dare to enter the public space.

Inside the pro-Israel protest, the mood was festive, if tense. Proceedings began with The Star-Spangled Banner and Hatikvah, the Israeli national anthem. There were speeches by campus leaders and local Jewish community representatives, followed by celebratory Israeli music, to which the crowd responded by singing and dancing.

At the edge of the crowd, opposite the pro-Palestinian protesters, two pro-Israel protesters held photographs of the Israeli hostages — 133 of whom are still being held by Hamas, about 100 of whom are thought possibly to be alive.

There were several scuffles, as pro-Palestinian protesters briefly entered the pro-Israel crowd, and as the two sides faced off outside the rally, with no security in between them other than the Palestinian activists in fluorescent jerseys.

At one point, a pro-Palestinian activist tried to seize an Israeli flag, and a fight broke out that was quickly broken up.

Pro-Israel demonstrators began taunting the many masked pro-Palestinian activists with chants of “Show your face!”

Many of the pro-Palestinian signs were radical, Islamist, or otherwise offensive. One activist on the Palestinian side held up a sign that said “Fuck Biden. Fuck the USA.”

The barricade around the “encampment” also had some offensive slogans, including some that reflected the anti-police rhetoric of the Black Lives Matter movement. One panel said “Fuck UCPD,” referring to the campus police force — which has, thus far, allowed the encampment to continue undisturbed.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators appeared to have vandalized UCLA property; one walkway had been spray-painted with the slogan “Say No to Genocide.” However, as the Daily Bruin, the campus newspaper, reported Saturday, activists at the encampment have been permitted to receive large deliveries of food, and to use campus bathrooms.

There were occasional moments of civil dialogue at the edges of the protest, though taunts were far more common.

UCLA is situated in the heart of one of the most pro-Israel areas in the country, surrounded by Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Westwood, which have large Jewish populations, including Persian Jews who escaped Iran’s Islamic revolution. source

Dershowitz Warns the ‘USEFUL IDIOTS’ Now Protesting are Being GROOMED FOR TERRORISM

‘They simply want to be part of current protest movements’

There are hundreds, no thousands, of university-age students participating now in the anti-Israel protests on campuses across the nation.

Most of them have little idea of the reason for their protests, according to longtime liberal lawyer Alan Dershowitz.

He said they’re “useful idiots” to those who have a more nefarious motive behind the protests and the violence.

But the threat is that they are being groomed for future terrorists.

Dershowitz, the Felix Frankfurther Professor of Law, emeritus at Harvard, wrote in a column at the Gatestone Institute, where he is a fellow, that those protesters include university, high school and even middle school students.

They are protesting Israel, the U.S., and Jews.

“Some of the signs say ‘pro-Palestine,’ ‘ceasefire now’ and ‘end the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.’ But these benign statements hide a far more malignant agenda, the end of Israel as the nation-state of the Jewish people, the end of America as the world’s leading power and the end of democracy and the free market economy. Even if there were a unilateral ceasefire, accompanied by massive humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza, many of these protests would continue, because Gaza is merely an excuse for a much wider agenda: to destroy Israel and destroy America,” he warned.

New York protesters, he pointed out, recently called to repeat the atrocities of Hamas’ attack on Israeli civilians on Oct. 7, “a thousand times.”

“There were shouts of ‘We are Hamas,’ ‘Death to America,’ ‘Burn Tel Aviv to the ground,’ ‘Israel go to hell’ and ‘Jews to back to Poland.’ The chant of ‘from the river to the sea, Palestine will be free’ is pervasive. Free of what? Free of Jews,” he said.

Nobody, he said, has been caught with a sign calling for a two-state peace solution.

The calls for “revolution” actually bypass the Middle East issues and aim directly at America, he said.

“As in the 1960s, many of these students are being groomed to be the terrorists of the future – in the manner of Kathy Boudin and Bernardine Dohrn back then – and, in the United States, a fifth column, the aim of which is taking down America,” he said.

The are four players in the protests: Arabs and Muslims who hate Israel and Jews, “old line radicals,” anarchists and America-haters, organizers who handle money and organize violence, and then those “useful idiots.”

They have “little or no knowledge of the substantive issues. They simply want to be part of current protest movements, which are popular on campuses and among many of their peers. It is this last group that is most troubling, because many of its members are good and decent people who are being led into dangerous territory by their elders.”

He said, “That these useful idiots are young does not make them less dangerous. Young students were instrumental in bringing to power tyrants such as Hitler, Stalin, Castro, Pol Pot and Mao.”

He conceded that because they’re young, they still can change ideologies. But he said consequences should accrue to those who are violent.

Those should include “arrest and prosecution – for physically intimidating, blocking and harassing Jews or any minorities. Such actions are not protected by the First Amendment, university disciplinary rules, or employers after graduation.” Originally published in WND.com

Absolutely Diabolical! But don’t forget that if this comes to pass, it will not surprise Almighty God!!

Dershowitz does not mention the fact that Soros is paying these ‘students.’

ALWAYS FOLLOW THE MONEY!!

TRUST HIM!

Israel’s Greatest Need :: By Daymond Duck

On Apr. 17, 2024, Iran’s president said Iran would completely destroy Israel if Israel proceeds with even the tiniest invasion of Iran.

A few hours later, Germany’s Foreign Minister tried to persuade Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu not to retaliate against Iran for attacking Israel with hundreds of drones and missiles.

Netanyahu said,

  • Israel will do whatever it needs to defend itself.
  • I appreciate the advice, but I want to be clear: Our decisions we will make ourselves.

I admire Netanyahu for what he has done and said, but according to Bible prophecy, Israel will not do the most important thing it needs to do (accept Jesus as their Messiah) for at least 7 more years.

Here is a short list of Bible prophecies about Israel.

  • Israel had to become a nation in one day before she travailed (before the Tribulation Period; Isa. 66:5-9).
  • Israel cannot be destroyed again (Israel’s enemies need to pay attention: Amos 9:15).
  • Israel must complete 490 years (70 weeks of years, including the 7-year Tribulation Period) before the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah (Dan. 9:24-27).
  • The 7-year (2,520 days on the Jewish calendar) Tribulation Period will begin when the Antichrist confirms a covenant with many for one week of years (Dan. 9:27).
  • God will make Jerusalem a problem for the entire world during the Tribulation Period (Zech. 12:2-3). He will defend Jerusalem and destroy every nation that attacks her (Zech. 12:6-9; 14:12).
  • God will pour out His Spirit on Israel at the end of the 7-year Tribulation Period, Israel will accept Jesus as their Messiah (Jer. 23:5-8; Ezek. 36:24-28; Zech 12:10-14), He will come back, and all Israel will be saved (Rom. 11:26).

Israel needs to understand that she cannot defend herself, but God can, and Israel’s troubles will continue until the Jews accept Jesus as their Messiah (and they will).

Here are some events that appear to indicate that we are close to the end of the age.

One, concerning God’s protection of Israel and Iran’s attack on Israel: Rabbi Meir Lau (Rabbi of Tel Aviv) said, “God did us a great favor that 99% of all the UAVs were destroyed without harming us. There was only some damage to places and no harm to people. This whole story was a great miracle, but we still have not appreciated its magnitude. We experienced God’s true protection and this connection with the superpowers and our neighbors, as well as other details that are confidential, all I can say is that this was a great divine miracle.”

(More: Prophecy expert Amir Tsarfati said, “Prayer was the most successful air defense system.)

(More: Robert Gottselig, Director of The Friends of Israel, said, “We know that when God’s people pray, and especially when they have been and still are interceding for Israel and the Jewish people, God hears their prayers.”)

Two, on Apr. 22, 2024 (Passover day in Israel), two armed terrorists drove a car into pedestrians in Jerusalem (slightly wounding 3); they emerged from their vehicle trying to fire makeshift submachine guns at their victims and others, but their weapons failed, and they ran to escape. They were spotted by a police helicopter and arrested.

Officials called the minor injuries and failed guns a “Passover Miracle.”

Three, concerning the Israel-Hamas war: on Apr. 17, 2024, Israel said, “IAF planes conducted airstrikes against terrorists and terror infrastructure (in northern Gaza), hitting more than 40 targets over the past day, including underground launching posts, booby-trapped structures, military structures where armed terrorists operated, observation posts, underground terrorist infrastructure, and additional terrorist infrastructure.”

Israel also struck several targets in Rafah.

Four, concerning inflation, the decline of America, and the emptying of America’s strategic oil reserves: on Apr. 19, 2024, the Department of the Interior announced that it will prohibit any new oil drilling project in the U.S. Arctic Ocean as well as on 11 million acres of Alaska’s National Petroleum Reserve and nearly 3 million acres of Alaska’s coastal waters.

Five, concerning a borderless world and illegal immigration: on Apr. 19, 2024, it was reported that illegal immigrants in New York complained that the amount of (free) food they get, their housing, (free) services, and other benefits they are getting are not enough and that this is unacceptable.

Six, concerning corruption in Washington and the belief by many that we can no longer trust the elections: I cannot count the times I have heard someone say that they do not believe the globalists will let Trump win the next election even if it becomes necessary to assassinate him.

I hope it is not true, but on Apr. 19, 2024, Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives proposed legislation to strip Pres. Trump of his Secret Service protection if he is convicted and sentenced for a felony.

Seven, concerning Biden’s efforts to force Netanyahu and Israel to obey him: on Apr. 21, 2024, it was reported that U.S. officials have confirmed that Biden intends to impose sanctions on an Israeli military unit on the West Bank of Israel (Judea and Samaria) for violating the rights of Palestinians.

Netanyahu said, “At a time when our soldiers are fighting terrorist monsters, the intention to sanction a unit in the IDF is the height of absurdity and a moral low.”

(My opinion: Biden is daring God to curse America.)

Eight, concerning America’s unstainable national debt and the economic collapse of the U.S.: on Apr. 3, 2024, it was reported that the White House intends to use funds appropriated to advance America’s national interest (democracy, freedom of speech, free market values, etc.) to train at least 200 LGBTQ+ activists to spread transgenderism in India.

Nine, concerning an increase in wars and rumors of wars at the end of the age: on Apr. 22, 2024, a report by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI) said military spending is soaring across the globe and it reached an all-time high in 2023.

Ten, concerning the Battle of Gog and Magog: on Apr. 23, 2024, Iran vowed to annihilate Israel if it launches a major attack on Iranian territory.

Iran’s Pres. Raisi said there will be nothing left of the Zionist regime (Israel).

Eleven, concerning hatred for Israel at the end of the age: on Apr. 22, 2024, U.S. Senators Josh Hawley and Tom Cotton asked Pres. Biden to mobilize the National Guard to protect Jewish students on college campuses.

Hawley sent a letter to Biden that said:

  • “On college campuses across the United States, Jewish Americans are at risk. … In your statement on Passover, you stated that “in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews. This blatant antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous — and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.’ Now you must take action to match those words.”

(More: Hundreds of pro-Palestinian students have been arrested at Columbia University, New York University, and Yale University.)

(More: On Apr. 23, 2024, it was reported that 25 Republican Senators sent colleges a warning to shut down the Jew-hating mobs on campus or risk losing their public funding.)

Here is my daily update on the Israel-Hamas war.

Wednesday, Apr. 17, 2024 (Day 194): The one hundred-thirty-ninth day of the resumed war.

  • Iran and its proxies (Hezbollah, etc.) have gone on high alert in anticipation of Israel’s retaliation for Iran’s recent drone attack on Israel.

Thursday, Apr. 18, 2024 (Day 195): The one-hundred-fortieth day of the resumed war.

  • It is being rumored that the U.S. will impose severe sanctions on Iran for attacking Israel, approve Israel’s actions on Rafah in the south and Hezbollah in the north, and transfer financial aid to Israel, if Israel will not retaliate against Iran.
  • The U.S. vetoed a UN Security Council resolution that would open the door for Palestine to become a state in the UN.
  • Israel used missiles to launch a limited strike near an airport and a major military base next to Iran’s nuclear reactor. There were simultaneous explosions in Iran, Iraq, and Syria.
  • Israel killed a senior Hamas intelligence official.
  • Israel captured several terrorists that were hiding in a school in Gaza.

Friday, Apr. 19, 2024 (Day 196): The one hundred-forty-first day of the resumed war.

  • Iran played down Israel’s strike on the previous day and signaled that it will not retaliate.
  • Israel’s strike on Iran accomplished what Israel set out to do – destroy the Russian anti-aircraft system that was installed to defend Iran’s nearby nuclear facility.
  • S. officials confirmed that Israel attacked a terrorist base in Iraq (base destroyed, one terrorist killed, 8 terrorists injured).

Saturday, Apr. 20, 2024 (Day 197): The one hundred-forty-second day of the resumed war.

  • Netanyahu said he will fight sanctions the U.S. imposes on the Israeli military unit on the West Bank (Judea and Samaria).
  • Netanyahu said Israel will inflict painful blows on Hamas in the coming days to free the remaining hostages. He compared Hamas to Pharaoh, “It hardens its heart and refuses to let our people go; therefore, we will bring it more painful blows—and it will happen soon.”

Monday, Apr. 22, 2024 (Day 199): The one hundred-forty-fourth day of the resumed war.

  • Israel struck 3 villages in Lebanon, and Hezbollah fired about 35 rockets into Israel.
  • An independent Palestinian news anchor reported that Hamas deliberately killed numerous aid workers and stole shipments of food sent to Palestinians because Hamas wanted to be the only entity in Gaza in control of the warehousing and distribution of food.

Tuesday, Apr. 23, 2024 (Day 200): The one hundred-forty-fifth day of the resumed war.

  • Israeli intelligence learned that Hamas was loading several launchers in Gaza to fire rockets into Israel. Israeli jets struck the launchers before the rockets were fired.
  • Hamas urged Israel’s enemies to attack Israel on all fronts.

Wednesday, Apr. 24, 2024 (Day 201): The one hundred-forty-sixth day of the resumed war.

  • Per Biden’s demands to protect Palestinians, Israel will evacuate about 1.4 million civilians from Rafah in preparation for an attack starting about 3 weeks from now (Israel estimates that it will take about 3 weeks to eliminate Hamas in Rafah).

FYI: God does not send anyone to Hell (all of us are born with a sin nature and destined to go to Hell because we sin), but God has provided a way (Jesus) for everyone to go to Heaven (and He is the only way to get there; John 14:6).

Finally, are you Rapture Ready?

If you want to be rapture ready and go to heaven, you must be born again (John 3:3). God loves you, and if you have not done so, sincerely admit that you are a sinner; believe that Jesus is the virgin-born, sinless Son of God who died for the sins of the world, was buried, and raised from the dead; ask Him to forgive your sins, cleanse you, come into your heart and be your Saviour; then tell someone that you have done this.
