Thirty members of Hamas-glorifying student group arrested after occupying Washington U building

[Beastly Boy]

Thirty pro-Palestinian protesters have been arrested after illegally occupying a University of Washington building to demand divestment from Boeing on Monday night, the university announced early on Tuesday.

The occupation of the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building was led by the pro-Palestine student group Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (Super UW). Super UW called for the protest in a manifesto published earlier in the day, in which the group also lauded the October 7 massacre.

"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," the manifesto said.

I wonder how many bleeding hearts will come out to defend these racist assholes.

1. And the Pro-Pals wonder why they have so little

support from the general public.

2. I'm sorry

But the party needs to LOUDLY disavow all of these people. They are doing to damage our side.

4. The Democrats?

They Dems have worked for peace in the Middle East, but will also always support Israel. Biden was trying to broker a piece. A Repuke lie that they back Hamas.

[RJ-MacReady]

5. Of course it's a lie

However you know as well as I do perception is reality.

12. I was hoping that they wouldn't actually be UW Students.

Still hoping some of them aren't.

If they are, that's a pretty dumb way to throw away your career. Grad School isn't cheap.

13. They WERE students.

The occupation of the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building was led by the pro-Palestine student group Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (Super UW). Super UW called for the protest in a manifesto published earlier in the day, in which the group also lauded the October 7 massacre.

Hopefully they no longer are.

14. I was hoping the "Students United" part was artistic license.

I'll tune into KOMO news tonight to hear the lurid details on the arrested. It's Sinclair-owned; they eat this stuff up. Any chance to bash the Left they can find.

18. 21/33 were active Students.

UW has suspended them from any campus.

8. Nothing justifies such depravity. These people are evil and complicit.

That is all

15. How to make sure their cause not gain ground

Granted I'm good with Hamas support not gaining ground, but from a strategic standpoint this is just dumb. Even if you believe Israel needs to treat Palestinians better (as I do although the situation is way more complicated than that and nobody has clean hands), it's embarrassing to be supporting indiscriminate rape and murder. It's really not that hard to acknowledge that Hamas are just utterly awful people who are guilty of war crimes and not support them.

16. Radical student activists at Columbia have occupied Butler Library

17. Evidently, passing the finals is not on their minds.

Who would have thought? Color me shocked.
