Vile antisemitic UCLA students formed Jewish exclusion zone, beat them unconscious, attacked with sticks: suit

A lawsuit alleges that antisemitic UCLA students physically assaulted Jewish classmates, injured them, and excluded them from campus while the university did not intervene. The complaint states that after the October 7 Hamas attacks, antisemitic hatred toward Jewish and Israeli students escalated to assaults, injuries, and deprivation of educational opportunities. It alleges that anti-Israel protesters seized control of UCLA’s main quad in April 2024, set up barricades, and physically blocked Jewish and Israeli students from entering classrooms, libraries, and walkways. The complaint describes victims being knocked unconscious, beaten with sticks, kicked, and sprayed with pepper spray, and includes threats such as “Hitler missed one.” It also alleges militia-style checkpoints and graffiti including “F*** ALL Jews” and “F*** Israel,” with police allegedly failing to act.

"Antisemitic hatred against UCLA's Jewish and Israeli students reached a point where students were physically assaulted, injured, excluded from campus, and deprived of educational opportunities because of their perceived Jewish or Israeli heritage, the lawsuit said."

"The explosive Department of Justice complaint alleges anti-Israel protesters seized control of UCLA's main quad in April 2024, setting up barricades and physically blocking Jewish and Israeli students from entering classrooms, libraries and walkways."

"One Jewish student was knocked unconscious with an open head wound, while others were kicked, beaten with sticks and blasted with pepper spray. Another victim was assaulted and told "Hitler missed one.""

"Protestors established militia-style checkpoints on UCLA's campus and refused to allow Jews to traverse public property unless those Jews denounced a core tenet of their religion, per the complaint. The encampment took over Royce Quad - the heart of campus - with barricades, checkpoints and graffiti including "F*** ALL Jews" and 'F*** Israel' scrawled on buildings."
