UCLA students batter Bibi piñata to chants of ‘beat that f—g Jew!’

Pro-Palestinian students at UCLA were captured on video battering a piñata bearing an image of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu – to the chant of “beat that f–king Jew!”

A crowd of students assembled around the effigy on Wednesday to express their anger at Israel’s retaliatory strikes in Gaza after the Hamas attack on the Jewish state on Oct. 7, according to a clip posted on X.

Many of the protesters are seen wearing keffiyeh scarves on their heads and over their faces as they take turns pummeling the swiveling piñata amid loud chants.

“Beat that f—g Jew!” a woman screams into a bullhorn as the crowd chants, “Free, free Palestine!”

Eventually, a man grabs the piñata, punches it and tears it down to loud cheers.

“I am horrified. This was @ucla today. This is indefensible. They will start with punching piñatas and end with punching Jews,” X user @AYM_Higher wrote along with the clip.

The incident occurred at a rally hosted by Students for Justice in Palestine, who gathered on campus to demand the US “end funding to Israel.”

They were joined by the UCLA chapter of the UC Divest Coalition, according to the Daily Bruin, which reported that the destroyed piñatas also featured a photo of President Joe Biden.

The protesters chanted “Israel, Israel, you can’t hide, we charge you with genocide!” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.”

A SJP representative said he felt the Israel Defense Forces’ actions in the Gaza Strip amount to genocide.

“The violence and occupation and murder of the people in Gaza has been belligerent, has been nonstop,” the student, identified as Mohammad, told the school paper.

Rayane Koubaa, a Tunisian sophomore, said he attended the event to stand in solidarity with Palestinian students.

“Students are shaping the view of the world right now,” he said. “This is a place for education and knowledge. If we don’t take advantage of that and show support and just rally and voice our opinions, no one’s going to do it.”
