Police arrested about 30 pro-Hamas rioters who illegally occupied a University of Washington engineering building and damaged property and set fires.
Students from the group Super UW, which lauded the October 7 massacre, seized the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building in Seattle on Monday evening.
“We are taking this building amidst the current and renewed wave of the student Intifada, following the uprising of student action for Palestine after the heroic victory of Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7th, which shattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination and brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world,” Super UW wrote in a manifesto published earlier in the day.
The students yelled “Death to the police” as they were arrested and led away from the building.
A university spokesperson, Victor Balta, said that Super UW created “a dangerous environment in and around the building.”
“The University will not be intimidated by this sort of offensive and destructive behavior and will continue to oppose antisemitism in all its forms. The 30 individuals were arrested and charges of trespassing, property destruction and disorderly conduct, and conspiracy to commit all three, will be referred to the King County Prosecutor’s Office.”
Super UW demanded in its manifesto that the university cut all ties with Boeing.
“The University of Washington is a direct partner in the genocide of the Palestinian people through its allegiance to its partnership with Boeing,” the manifesto claimed, demanding that the university “stop receiving any and all donations from Boeing. Return any existing donations, financial investments, and eliminate all other material ties to Boeing.”
