Anti-Israel protesters who have set up an encampment on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles are asking supporters to donate various items to help them sustain their acts of disobedience, including vegan food, gas masks and EpiPens.

A Google document posted online by Students for Justice in Palestine at UCLA shows a list of much-needed items wanted by the protesters at the so-called UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment.

"We will not leave. We will remain here until our demands are met," the group said in a statement.

The list includes airsoft goggles, knee and elbow pads, utility gloves - without reinforced knuckles – bright flashlights with strobe, rope, zip ties, skater helmets, shields, wood to construct a barrier and non-steroid inhalers.

Are those requests unreasonable?

The rope and zip ties are for WHAT, exactly?

You plan to camp somewhere, arent you supposed to bring your own supplies?

We do when we camp though we've never occupied a space that isn't designed for camping, either.

Have these little darlins considered a GoFund Me account? 🧐
just an old coot 😉🌵

I need to know what they could possibly need zip ties for…


I’ve been camping hundreds of times… never brought zip ties.

I do love that one kid though that thinks “humanitarian aid” means delivering Taco Bell to them instead of having to walk down to the campus cafeteria…

Was she really?!? Oh God… I was totally giving her the benefit of the doubt.

Lol, die of dehydration and starvation…


Go home then.


The university has set up a lovely cafeteria for them… they’re not obligated to deliver food to them as they commit felonies.

The protesters are asking those who support their political stance to aid them in their effort to stay in the encampments. They aren't asking the university for these things.

Agree or disagree about their reasons for protesting and occupying the space, but no need to conflate the "demands" for the university to divest from what they see as genocide, and their requests for supplies from their supporters.
