Participants in the ongoing “Palestine Solidarity Encampment” at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) have reportedly asked supporters to bring “vegan” and “gluten-free” food, whie warning “no nuts” and “no bananas.”
The request list was obtained by Fox News’ Bill Melugin, and includes a variety of other supplies, including objects for use in clashes with counter-demonstrators and police, such as “gas masks,” “shields,” and “skater helmets.”
The ban on nuts and bananas is supposedly to protect people in the encampment who have severe food allergies.
Last week, prior to being assaulted by encampment activists, this reporter was told by guards at the gate not to bring food or nuts into the encampment. The guards also require those who enter the encampment to wear KN95 masks.
Activists violently occupying Hamilton Hall at Columbia University also demanded food and water on Tuesday before the New York Police Department (NYPD) forcibly removed them from the premises in a raid later that evening.
UCLA canceled classes on Wednesday following the overnight violence. It is unclear if they will be canceled Thursday.
