The pro-Palestinian encampment on the University of Washington (UW) campus is now on its fifth day, with dozens of tents set up in the Quad.
Protestors of Israel 's war with Hamas in Gaza set up an encampment around 8 a.m. on April 29, 2024, at the Quad on the University of Washington campus in Seattle, joining a growing list of colleges nationwide to do so. The pro-Palestinian encampment on the University of Washington campus is now on its fifth day, with dozens of tents set up in the Quad.
Dozens of tents remain on campus, and KOMO News crews saw some more people setting up tents Friday. The group remains steadfast in their plan to stay out here until the university meets their demands. Protesters say they want to see an end to the repression of pro-Palestinian voices.“I think just seeing the scale of damage and death and destruction that has been committed by Israel in Gaza has been extremely heartbreaking,” one protester, who preferred not to share their name, said.
Boeing has been building weapons that are used by Israel in committing genocide against Palestinians,” one protester said. “UW funneling students towards this company has meant that many students who go to this school are put into jobs that are complacent in genocide.RELATED:“As a Jewish person, I think it’s vital to show solidarity and show up for the movement for a free Palestine,” one protester, who also preferred not to share their name, said.
I walked through the encampment yesterday, I tucked away my Jewish star,” Olivia Feldman, president ofat UW, said. “It’s definitely divisive, but it has yet to become violent, I know students have been assaulted, they’ve had their flags taken away, we’ve seen flags cut up, I was followed yesterday while walking around the Quad.
