The Post Millenial reports on an anti-Israel protest at the University of Washington Thursday evening, the first night of Hanukkah:
Pro-Hamas activists targeted the office of the president of the University of Washington in Seattle on Thursday, the first night of Hanukkah, in advance of the campus menorah lighting.
Approximately 50 members of the activist groups United Front for Palestinian Liberation and Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER) entered the Gerberding Hall administration building and occupied the office of UW president Ana Marie Cauce, refusing to leave until the UW president agreed to their demands. They also vandalized the building. Those demands were to “materially divest from Israel, end the repression of pro-Palestinian students and faculty,” and to “cue ties with Boeing.”
About 100 more protested outside the building and called for the destruction of Israel and the ethnic cleansing of Jews and Christians living in Israel in English and Arabic.

It was found on the page of a BLM activist pic.twitter.com/543T0Nwn0wThe groups claimed they were not targeting the campus menorah lighting but UW authorities moved the ceremony away from its original planned location. According to the university, “36 protesters were removed from the building and processed for investigation of criminal trespassing,“ and by 9:30 pm the building was cleared.
Seems like exactly what we have come to expect from this mob.
But here’s something from the event that Israellycool readers may find particularly interesting:
Throughout the two-month escalation of Israel’s reign of terror on Palestine, pro-Palestine advocates have faced doxxing, harassment, stalking, blacklisting, and state condemnation. Last month, a white man shot three Palestinian college students in Vermont in an alleged hate crime that left one student paralyzed from the chest down.
But with support for the Palestinian cause growing in recent weeks, recent UW graduate and Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER UW) Jonah Silverstein said advocates feel less and less afraid of Zionists’ usual tactics of suppression.

Advocating against US-backed genocide can have real consequences as Silverstein told The Stranger before the sit-in Thursday. But the harassment, fear of doxxing, and threat of police have less “impact” on advocates in recent weeks, he said.
Knowing they could be arrested for their action, participants told The Stranger, they “don’t care” if their whole face shows up on front page news.
In case you are wondering, it is definitely anti-Israel DouchebloggerTM Richard Silverstein’s son:
And it looks like Silverstein’s daughter (middle below) is following in the same footsteps:
I almost feel bad for the kid; with a father like he has, he almost never stood a chance.
Meanwhile, i find it ironic Junior is complaining about his fellow Israel-haters getting doxxed, given that is exactly what his father did to me.
