Fireworks and tear gas flew through the air after masked pro-Israeli assailants tore down barricades.

Violence erupted at the University of California, Los Angeles after pro-Israeli counter-demonstrators attacked a pro-Palestinian campus encampment. Bubbling tensions on the campus boiled over following the alleged breach of a “buffer zone” between the rival groups.

    As I said in another comment:

    If you had read past “counter-protesters”, it goes on to say, “…attack pro-Palestinian camp”

    “Counter-protester” describes who they were not what they were doing. That’s what the word “attack” is for. If you read the article it contains even more details.

      I think people are suggesting the “counter protesters” aren’t “protesting” anything, they’re just straight up a mob attacking kids.

        I understand that. That’s why I explained what the words mean.
