Speaks Out

UCLA students were asked whether events such as Palestine Awareness Week affect their views of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.

 

Sarah Schulenburg 
Second-year, communication studies 

“Definitely, but I don’t know much about it now. So they will inform me, and if they are passionate about their beliefs, they will influence mine.”

 

 

Jacob Kohlhepp 
First-year, economics and political science 

“I just appreciate talking to those organizations. It is definitely something to think about. My views have not changed much, but I’ve learned more about both sides.”

 

 

Elizabeth Nguyen
First-year, psychobiology

“No, because people don’t have an incentive to be interested.”

 

 

Brian Raub
Third-year, Spanish and community and culture

“I understand the desire to spread knowledge. It’s sad to see two sides separate. I’d love to see something with two sides together.”
