Pro-Israel counter-protesters at UCLA previously took part in anti-LGBTQ+ and anti-vaccine events across Southern California.

Some of the pro-Israel counter protesters are also associated with local Proud Boy and Three Percenter militia chapters and fundamentalist Christian churches.

@taylorlorenz Apocalypsers need Israel but they don't have to like them!

@taylorlorenz The article is pretty careful to note that these people are not pro-Israel but rather are opportunists who are there to push a separate agenda entirely. Repeatedly calling them "pro-Israel" in the post seems a bit gratuitous. When Gavin McInnes dressed up as a protester at Columbia he was doing the same thing--acting as an agent of chaos trying to find an opportunity for mayhem, not pro- or anti- Palestinian or Israeli.

@taylorlorenz would be great if the pro Palestine protestors would have the same scrutiny for antisemites among their own.

Are they really pro-Israel or are they just pro let's speed on Armageddon?

Authoritarianism. Armageddon is a teaser to get support from fringe religious groups.

Perhaps the authoritarianism is the means to that end for the Christian extremists and a different end for the White supremacists & misogynists.

It's not really. In these kinds of situations one needs to ask, who benefits from chaos? You will find provocatuers on both sides stoking the violence.

It's the authoritarians who gain. They get to advocate for a more military police.

"You will find provocatuers on both sides stoking the violence."
Except you will find the provocateurs are outside to both the pro and anti Palestine groups. They are there to stoke the violence to advocate for cracking down on protests.
