Bagels have been banned at the pro-Palestine encampment at the University of California, Los Angeles.

Yesterday evening, the anti-Israel encampment at UCLA sent out a list of “urgent” requests asking supporters to donate various items to help them sustain their disobedience. Items include “wood for barricades”, knee and elbow pads, EpiPens, gas masks, utility gloves “especially for small hands”, rope and zip ties.

Along with these items, a Google document posted online by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) at UCLA requests that food donations be “BDS compliant”, and have banned any packaged food, bananas, coffee, nuts, and curiously, bagels.

The Google document also demands vegan, gluten-free food, and “hot food for lunch!!! (IMPORTANT!!)”.
