UCLA law student Matthew Weinberg recently expressed his concerns regarding the violence that unfolded on the university's campus during the police's efforts to clear an unlawful anti-Israel encampment. Weinberg strongly condemned the protest, labeling it as a 'disgrace' and drawing attention to the use of tear gas and flashbangs by law enforcement, which he likened to a 'war zone' atmosphere.
During his statement, Weinberg criticized the school administration, accusing them of cowardice and a lack of moral clarity. He highlighted the prolonged presence of the encampment on campus, which he argued had made Jewish students feel unsafe. Weinberg went on to assert that affected students, including a friend who was pepper-sprayed, deserved a tuition reimbursement for the distress they had endured.
According to Weinberg, several students had been subjected to physical assaults, yet the school had failed to take appropriate action in response. He dismissed the idea of a mere apology as insufficient, emphasizing the need for concrete measures to address the situation.
