"All the News That's Fit to Print" at the Daily Bruin





This week at UCLA featured the usual pro-Hamas protesters marching with posters and Palestinian flags, and wearing their keffiyas with the black and white doo-dads. Meanwhile, the Daily Bruin, the campus fishwrap, was describing the pro-Hamas crowd as if they were sort of human rights activists. They even refused to print the names of those they interviewed to protect their "safety". As if the IDF were going to fly over the campus and take them out with targeted airstrikes.

Here is how the DB described the Thursday events.

Here is how the DB described Wednesday's events.

Apparently, the DB neglected to include one very important detail when describing the piƱata bashing incident involving caricatures of Benjamin Netanyahu and Joe Biden. According to the New York Post, one celebrant with a bullhorn was chanting, "Beat that f-----Jew!".

The DB is also posting articles on the fears of anti-Semitism felt by Jewish students, but if you know how to read between the lines, it is clear that DB is on the Palestinian side.

Yet they insist on not publishing the names of the pro-Hamas interviewees for the sake of their "safety". Personally, I don't care about knowing their names, but it is the Jewish students who need safety.
