Anti-Israel Protesters Cause Chaos For White House Correspondents’ Dinner Attendees

"Pro-Palestine protesters took to the streets of the nation’s capital Saturday evening, creating a chaotic scene outside the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.
Video captured by the Daily Caller shows a large group of activists protesting outside of the White House press corps’s annual star-studded gathering at the Washington Hilton hotel. A left-wing activist group, Code Pink, reportedly organized the demonstration, instructing supporters go through Kalorama Park to reach the hotel, according to the group’s website.
The Correspondents’ Dinner is nothing more than a celebration and endorsement of the administration’s actions. That is not journalism. That is complicity,” the Code Pink website states.
Footage of the evening’s activities shows protesters banging on drums and yelling chants such as, “Shame, shame, shame on you, for all the terror that you do” and others about the media’s alleged lying." DailyCaller

Pro-Israel, Pro-Palestinian Protesters Clash at UCLA ‘Encampment’

"Roughly 2,000 pro-Israel counter-demonstrators gathered at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) to protest near a “Palestine Solidarity Encampment” that was set up last week on campus.
As they arrived, many had to walk a gauntlet of about 100 pro-Palestinian activists, some of whom were from the encampment. Local Black Lives Matter activists had also called upon supporters to oppose the pro-Israel protesters.....the university lacked sufficient personnel to provide security for the pro-Israel protesters. However, there were dozens of security officers guarding the “encampment.” Breitbart

Ukraine's top general says troops fall back as fighting worsens on eastern front

"Ukraine's army leader admitted Sunday that Kyiv's position on the battlefield has worsened after Russian forces captured another village in the east, pressing their advantage in manpower and ammunition. Ukrainian troops had "retreated" westwards to new defensive lines in a section of the front that runs past the city of Donetsk. Russia's defense ministry earlier on Sunday claimed its troops had captured the village of Novobakhmutivka in the eastern Donetsk region – around 10 kilometres (six miles) north of Avdiivka, which they seized in February."
