Anti-Israel protesters who have set up an encampment on the campus of the University of California, Los Angeles are asking supporters to donate various items to help them sustain their acts of disobedience, including vegan food, gas masks and EpiPens.
A Google document posted online by Students for Justice in Palestine at UCLA shows a list of much-needed items wanted by the protesters at the so-called UCLA Palestine Solidarity Encampment.
"We will not leave. We will remain here until our demands are met," the group said in a statement.
The list includes airsoft goggles, knee and elbow pads, utility gloves - without reinforced knuckles – bright flashlights with strobe, rope, zip ties, skater helmets, shields, wood to construct a barrier and non-steroid inhalers.
Also needed is "hot food for lunch" and gluten-free food. Packaged foods, coffee, bagels, bananas and nuts are specifically not wanted.
The list of needs goes on to request sleeping pads, various types of batteries, electric and solar-powered generators and Aquaphor, a brand of over-the-counter skin ointment. Sunscreen is not desired, according to the list.
Organizers are requesting that donors make sure the items comply with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which promotes boycotts, divestment and economic sanctions against Israel.
"Did they all throw out their iPhones to meet BDS compliance?" Stop Antisemitism, a nonprofit that fights antisemitism, posted online in response to the list.
