Shocking moment pro-Palestine protester tells counter-demonstrator 'You're just ... trends now
A woman was caught on camera being openly racist at a pro-Palestine demonstration in the UCLA encampment in Southern California on Saturday.
'You're just a white person. Get out. We don't like white people!' the woman said angrily to the camera while continuing to wave the Palestinian flag she was waving and chanting 'Free Palestine!'
The footage was captured by skeptical journalist Cam Higby who put it to the protestor that she was 'just being mad that Hamas is hiding behind civilians.'
In later tweets, Higby explained that the woman then tried to attack him after he filmed her and that she had been speaking Arabic and screaming about Jewish colonizers during her time in the protest.
