‘Jews In LA Have Had Enough!’ UCLA Student Tells Fox Counter Protestors That Broke Up Pro-Palestine Encampment Were NOT Students
A Jewish student at UCLA appeared on Fox & Friends Wednesday morning and claimed that counter-protestors who broke up an encampment were NOT UCLA students, adding, “Jews in LA had enough.”
Eli Tsives returned to the Fox News morning show one day after appearing to discuss a viral video that showed him being denied access to class, ostensibly because of the Star of David necklace he was wearing at the time.
On Wednesday, Tsives claimed that a counter-protest movement that broke up a Pro-Palestine protest encampment comprised local individuals who were not students at the Westwood campus.
“The reason why this is happening is because Jews in L.A. have had enough,” Tsives told Fox & Friends. “They’ve seen how these pro-Hamas protesters are treating Jewish students on campus. And they said, fine if the UCLA administration is not going to do anything if LAPD is not going to do anything, we’re going to do something about it.”
“It looks like some guys went down there and just started ripping down the campus themselves, and they felt with resistance,” Brian Kilmeade followed. “This thing went on, it looked like, for about two hours.”
“I saw people throwing things at each other. There was, like you mentioned, the removal of barricades,” the UCLA student replied. “And I had the opportunity to talk with some of these protesters, and they said the main reason they were doing this was to attract police. They said they wanted L.A. police to arrive so they could finally go inside the encampment and start making arrests.”
“So we know that, as you just described, the people in the encampment have been the pro-Palestine group,” Steve Doocy followed. “And then the counter-protesters came in, but it’s unclear who exactly they are. Are you saying they were Jewish students? Jewish people? Who were they?”
“I can confidently say that they are not UCLA students,” Tsives replied. “The average age of those people was around 26, 27, 28, nine. They were all a lot older, and they were just L.A. residents, Jewish L.A. residents that have noticed how these pro-Hamas protesters were treating Jewish students at UCLA. And they said enough is enough. If, like I mentioned before, if the administration’s not going to do anything, we’re going to do something about it.”
College campuses across the nation have seen pro-Palestinian students protesting what they see as unjust US support of Israel’s attack on Gaza following the brutal attacks of October 7th.
