At the University of Washington, a group identified as SUPER UW, staged a protest in support of Palestine, employing tactics such as a human chain inside the Husky Union Building (HUB) using a "lock-in" protest technique and projecting "Free Palestine" messages on the building's exterior. This sit-in was part of a broader series of protests across various campuses, including an incident at Mercer University where pro-Hamas protesters disrupted a TPUSA event, resulting in the assault of a speaker and the arrest of 2 Hamas activists. Additionally, at Rutgers University, anti-Israel protesters interrupted a town hall, leading to the university president's departure under police escort amidst chants of "globalize the intifada". The protests have been marked by instances of vandalism, including the defacement of artworks at the University of Washington with red duct tape and stickers, and the theft and destruction of an Israeli flag from a student. These events have sparked concerns about campus safety and the treatment of Jewish students, with references to the protesters as "Nazis (Hamas Youth?)" and mentions of an "antisemitic cess pool".

Rutgers’ president fled a town hall under police escort after it was disrupted by radical campus activists calling for "intifada" & violent "resistance." How can Jewish students & faculty trust Rutgers' admin to protect them, when they can’t guarantee safety at their own events? https://t.co/6oSvYJpOx7
At Rutgers last night, anti-Israel protesters shut down a town hall with the university president, yelling "globalize the intifada" and "we don't want no two-state," and university police escorted Jewish students out of the building. Read at @NRO: https://t.co/pzE5NZc2Kd
The antisemitic cess pool continues to spill over at Rutgers University as pro Palestinian radicals call for the removal of the Jewish nation and for more violence against Jews. How much longer are you going to allow the harassment of your Jewish students @RutgersU?! https://t.co/NqhP8Efl9k
Modern day Nazis (Hamas Youth?) at the University of Washington, Seattle conducted a sit-in and mass vandalism "protest" last night because they're upset that Jews exist. When they say "Zionism = Genocide" they mean Israel doesn't have the right to exist.…

The new Nazi Youth took over UW Seattle last night with a sit-in, vandalism, and targeting of a student with an Israeli flag that UW Police reportedly said they were too busy to respond to.
