Anti-Zionist activists set up new PedWest border checkpoint
Not All Walls
Larper and his friend, who declined to be identified, work the new security gate at PedWest. “We realized that it’s not enough to keep the Zionists out of our encampments on campus,” says Larper. “The Zionists are everywhere, like rats or cockroaches. And so we have to be everywhere, too.”
Last week, students at UCLA drew national attention when, as part of their pro-Palestinian protest, they began restricting the movements of students who refused to wear an anti-Zionist wristband. Self-identified Zionists and others were prevented from entering certain parts of campus, and in some cases, campus buildings such as libraries. This week, UCLA senior and political activism major Adam Larper has taken his bike-rack barricade and taken things up a notch: he’s set up a checkpoint at the PedWest entrance to the United States from Mexico, and is asking would-be immigrants to affirm their anti-Zionist beliefs before being granted entrance to the country. “All my life,” explains Larper, “I’ve been told that immigrants are America’s future, and that they make America stronger. But why would I want to make America stronger? And why would I want a future surrounded by people who have left their indigenous land and betrayed their traditional culture to take part in the great colonialist crime that is the United States — and by extension, America’s colonialist ally in the Middle East, Israel? I hate President Trump because he hates brown people and he built this awful wall to keep them far away. Not me. I love brown people. It’s Zionists I can’t abide. And sometimes, you have to use the political tools — like this wall — that your enemies give you, you know? I learned that in class.”
