After Chancellor Gene Block declared Tuesday that the Palestine solidarity encampment was “unlawful,” pro-Israel counter-protesters attempted to storm the encampment in a violent attack that same night.

Encampments and protests in solidarity with Palestine swept through college campuses in recent weeks. The Daily Trojan, the Daily Bruin, the Emory Wheel, The Daily Californian, Washington Square News, the Berkeley Beacon and the Daily Texan came together and compiled a photo essay depicting the student movements unfolding across the nation.

Counter-protesters demonstrated against pro-Palestine protesters Sunday, filling Dickson Plaza and Portola Plaza with thousands of people. 
The counter-protest, organized by the Israeli American Council, drew thousands of participants.

Demonstrations persisted at Dickson Plaza after an encampment led by UCLA students and community members was set up in support of Palestine on April 25. Outside Royce Hall, encampment members encountered counter-protesters, displaying the escalating tension on college campuses across the country.

Monday marked the second solar eclipse that moved across the United States in the last seven years. While people in Los Angeles only saw a partial – rather than total – eclipse, UCLA students and community members still came out to witness the phenomenon.
