Pro-Palestinian Student Protest at University of Washington
A group of about 30 pro-Palestinian students, known as Super UW, was arrested after they occupied a building at the University of Washington in Seattle, protesting Boeing’s defense contracts with Israel and marking the anniversary of the October 7, 2023 Hamas attacks. The protest escalated into a dangerous situation, with students setting dumpsters on fire and blocking entrances, leading to arrests for trespassing and disorderly conduct. The university condemned the occupation and an antisemitic statement from a suspended group, asserting its commitment to safety and not being intimidated by such actions.
