They were arrested for just being there. This is absolute bullshit. In the 90s, there was a protest camp there against the Gulf War that was there 24/7. I know because I was in it sometimes, helping to cook food and do other things to keep it a place to live in.

In the 80s, there was a semi-permanent shantytown there to protest South African apartheid.

This is utter bullshit.

Believe me, if I could have done that in the title, I sure as hell would have. This is absolutely unacceptable.

It’s a play on words purposefully used by the US media in order to frame the protests as a versus. “If it’s pro-palestine then it must be anti-israel.” I’ve seen Canadian articles that call them “Gaza protests”, which is far more accurate.

So fucking nuts. Dunn Meadow has a long history of hosting student protests. My dad was a professor and he told me about the anti-Vietnam protests there in the 60s when students occupied the park.
