EplusPi@tao The original "attack" was the Hamas terrorist attack. Then UCLA allowed the creation of a "Jew exclusion zone" on campus, and many Jewish students reported intimidation and harassment. Many researchers and faculty stood silent in the face of modern-day antisemitism.
The administration is asking UCLA to provide a safe space for everyone, which it clearly failed to do.
