Pro-Palestinian students at the University of California, Los Angeles were filmed at an event yesterday striking a pair of pinatas plastered with the faces of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US President Joe Biden.
A number of students are given turns to strike the pinatas as others can be heard cheering and chanting “Long live Palestine” and “Free Palestine.”
An LGBTQ pride flag, hung from a poll outside an adjacent building that serves as the campus LGBTQ center, is seen in the same frame that captured the students striking the pinatas.
