Anti-Israel Protesters Clash With Police at UC-Irvine After Swarming Campus Buildings
“Please disregard all previous orders to shelter in place. If able, please leave immediately & continue to avoid the protest area until further notice.”
As you’ll see in the videos below, these protesters tried to set up a border wall around themselves. Isn’t it interesting that so many of them do that?
FOX News reports:
Police on UC Irvine campus after anti-Israel agitators swarm buildings; students told to ‘leave area’
After hundreds of anti-Israel protesters swarmed campus buildings and set up barricades at the University of California, Irvine, local law enforcement agencies responded and students were ordered to leave immediately on Wednesday.
In a statement to Fox News Digital, a UC Irvine spokesperson said that the campus erupted into chaos after several hundreds of protesters entered the Physical Sciences Lecture Hall on the California campus and began to barricade the building at 2:30 p.m. PST.
The university said that it put out a call to local law enforcement and received immediate assistance from the Irvine Police Department and Orange County Sheriff’s Department.
In livestream footage of the anti-Israel agitators’ confrontation with police, at least one protester was arrested.
In a follow-up statement, students were told to “leave area” as the protest continued.
“Anyone currently in buildings in the vicinity of the protest are advised to exit buildings & leave area at this time,” UC Irvine said in a statement. “Please disregard all previous orders to shelter in place. If able, please leave immediately & continue to avoid the protest area until further notice.”
Footage from the campus showed law enforcement, dressed in protest gear and holding batons, clashing with anti-Israel agitators.
The protesters were seen holding umbrellas and chanting, “free, free Palestine.”
“From the River to the Sea, Palestine Will Be Free” they were heard chanting. “Long live Palestine.”

They want to be martyrs? Engaging in military-style occupation while making demands is a good way to do it.
police spokesperson stated to the blmplo
why are you fighting us
we are on your side
The text stated “law enforcement, dressed in protest gear”. Shouldn’t that more properly be called “riot gear”?
