Background: The pro-Israel counter-protesters equipped sticks, pepper spray, fireworks, bricks, etc. arrived at around 10:45 p.m. and attempted to dismantle the pro-Palestinian encampment at UCLA. They lobbed fireworks and set off pepper spray. Pro-Palestinian/ Antiwar demonstrators used umbrellas to shield themselves from the attack. But many got injured.
Discussion: The attack seem to be preplanned since none of the pro Israel protester have any signs or banners. They only carried light weapons. Biden has not commented on this event so far. What should be the best strategy for him to show leadership and shore up support of key younger demographics before the election?
- Unequivocally condemn this attack
- condemn both sides— one side for attacking and the other side for encamping/protesting at public place.
- Be vague in the condemnation and say he is against all chaos and violence.
- Be vague on most of the incident but be specific about antisemitism without mentioning islamophobia.
- Say nothing.
- Some other strategy (mention in the comment).
Any goodwill gained by any milquetoast statement Biden could make is going to be overshadowed by the fact that you have riot police violently clearing these camps, throwing stun grenades, and allowing counter protesters to attack the camps.
Some of them are calling for the death of all zionists and waving Hezbolla flags…

Cool, one twentysomething.
Why is this one kid the face of the entire protest movement?
Also, point of order, Hezbolla flags have yet to make an appearance.
