The pro-genocide mob at #UCLA specifically targeted student journalists just as Israel targets journalists in Gaza.

Catherine Hamilton, 21, told The Times she recognized one who had previously harassed her & taken pictures of her press badge. The individual instructed the group to encircle the student journalists, before they sprayed them with pepper spray, & chanted Hamilton’s name.
As she tried to break free, she was punched repeatedly in the chest & upper abdomen; another student journalist was pushed to the ground & beaten & kicked for nearly a minute.
Hamilton went to the hospital, when the bruising made it difficult for her to breathe.
