But the reality was the protesters blocked Jews from accessing areas of the campus they needed to go. It was done with the acquiescence of UCLA.
Regardless of what it is called the question remains is it acceptable to bar people of a religion from going to their classes because of the actions of a country half a world away?

As for those who are assaulted by what you call Jewish groups, it would be up to them to file suit.
Although I have to ask where they truly pro Jewish or were they pro-Israeli or are the terms synonyms?

According to the article

The encampment became a global news story after a melee instigated by pro-Israel counter-demonstrators erupted.
