The female Jewish student who was stomped on, kicked, and beaten by five pro-Palestinian protestors at UCLA on Tuesday is reported to have survived her injuries and is at home recovering, both physically and mentally. Eleanor, who did not want her last name revealed, spoke exclusively to NBC News Los Angeles about her ordeal.
Anchor Colleen Williams opened the segment by saying the young woman was "kicked in the head and knocked unconscious." Excuse me?! This woman was attacked by FIVE people who each kicked her until she was bloody and unconscious and had to be rescued from their midst and carried out of harm's way before being rushed to the emergency room. Leave it to the legacy media to sanitize such a horrific act.
Here is the real kicker (pun fully intended). Eleanor is an Iranian Jew. This explains the renewed pushback by the pro-Israel counter-protesters against the pro-Palestinian horde. They were defending their own.
The Jewish girl who was beaten by pro-Hamas thugs recently is Iranian.

We Iranian Jews protect each other. You want to know why Iranian Jewish men retaliated against the UCLA Hamas camp?
Now you know. Well done to them for standing up for her.

Eleanor is understandably suffering from PTSD, but she spoke clearly and cogently with her mother by her side.
WATCH:
As our Managing Editor, Jennifer Van Laar, reported, the chaos on campus erupted suddenly, with little law enforcement presence to stem the unrest. Now, it is being discovered that this may have been a conscious act on UCLA's part.
Five days before pro-Israeli counterprotesters attacked a pro-Palestinian camp at UCLA, the university police department asked other campuses for additional police, according to the head of the UC police officers union.
But the requests — which would have provided UCLA with more police officers as they dealt with the camp and a dueling area erected by pro-Israeli activists — were both quickly canceled, according to internal communications reviewed by The Times.
UCLA officials did not respond to a request for comment about the cancellation.
The requests for additional police resources add to the questions about why UCLA was so underprepared when dozens of people swarmed the camp Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, attacking protesters who were occupying the space on the campus.
Bottom line: The fools in administration co-signed the violence and unrest. Had Eleanor been seriously injured or killed, her blood would be on their hands.
Law enforcement sources said there were only a handful of UCLA officers on duty at the time, and they were quickly overwhelmed. It would take hours for officers from the Los Angeles Police Department, the California Highway Patrol and other agencies to arrive and stop the violence.
UCLA’s handling of the upheaval is now the subject of an external review by the University of California and has been roundly criticized.
Rightly so. When the LAPD had to tell Jewish students and parents that they were not allowed to intervene, and the pro-Palestinian protestors were given carte blanche to call for aid and bring in reinforcements and supplies, what does that say about the administration's handling of the situation? It's already a horrible look, and the baggage is still being unpacked.
Wade Stern, an officer at UC Riverside and the president of the Federated University Police Officers’ Assn., told The Times that the mutual aid call would have allowed for members of UCPD’s Systemwide Response Team — a group of about 80 officers across the portfolio of schools known as the SRT — to deploy to UCLA. The request would have placed the extra officers on campus from Sunday to Tuesday, Stern said.
“We’ve all been trying to get up there and go help,” he said.
The two requests for mutual aid were made Thursday and Friday, but both were canceled within a few hours, according to documents reviewed by The Times. UCLA requested and received aid on Sunday to deal with counterprotesters at the camp.
The request for mutual aid was not sent out again, despite the fact that SRT members were standing by, ready to head to UCLA, Stern said.
Like the professors and deans who spout antisemitic and pro-Palestine madness and fomented the protests with their hot takes, by allowing these nights of violence and protest to occur without proper reinforcements and support, the UCLA administration apparently wanted to make a statement. As the campus takeover is being investigated and blame being laid, we'll see what type of statement UCLA will make once the damage assessments, lawsuits, and students fleeing the campus for other colleges start rolling in.
