Counter-protesters demonstrated against pro-Palestine protesters Sunday, filling Dickson Plaza and Portola Plaza with thousands of people. 

The counter-protest, organized by the Israeli American Council, drew thousands of participants. Over $73,000 was raised on a GoFundMe as of 6 p.m. Sunday, allowing organizers to set up speakers, a large screen and a stage between Kaplan Hall and Haines Hall. 

Sunday marked the fourth day of the UC Divest Coalition and Students for Justice in Palestine encampment at UCLA.
