I feel obligated to wear the yellow armband with star of David in
solidarity with the Jewish students who are being discriminated against.

 
I wouldn't do that but if I needed to get across the campus and the
quickest path way was through their encampment I wouldn't hesitate to
walk through it. All without wearing any sort of arm band marking me
as being with them or against them.
 

Imagine if a bunch of white kids had seized half of UCLA and were only
allowing white people in; excluding blacks from the classes and
facilities they'd paid tuition for. Does anyone think the UCLA police
and/or administration would be sitting on their hands then?

 
Sadly that's all too true. We've been conditioned over the years to
over-react when it comes to the mistreatment of blacks.

Going in with force and arresting all the white kids would not be an
over-reaction in that case. It would be appropriate thing to do and it's
what they'd deserve. What's happening now at UCLA is an appalling
*under-reaction* by government officials and the school administration.
