Anti genocide protesters took over a Boeing funded building on the University of Washington campus this evening.
After six hours of student protest cops have begun raiding the building and arresting students. According to scanners nine may be under arrest.
Developing story.

"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. We respond to the call made by the Palestinian student movement in Gaza... "
#UW classified the pro-Palestine protest antisemitic and sent in squads of cops to oust the students:
"The UW is committed to maintaining a secure learning and research environment, and strongly condemns this illegal building occupation and the antisemetic statement that was issued by a suspended student group Monday. The University will not be intimidated by this sort of offensive and destructive behavior and will continue to oppose antisemitism in all its forms."

Students posted videos today of cops violently arresting protesters outside of the Boeing funded engineering building.
The students point out that UW developed these partnerships with Boeing during the Vietnam War. We saw how Boeing products killed an maimed in Vietnam and they want to stop that same pipeline today.
A similar protest in the Vietnam era by local Black Panthers was successful in achieving change. Now UW calls the cops instead of negotiate.
#Breaking UW has now reportedly suspended some or all of the 30 students arrested for holding a protest against the genocide in Gaza.
The protest was led by Palestinian students who decreed the schools connection to the weapons makers whose equipment has slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Palestinians.
The UW administration labeled the anti genocide protesters "anti semitic", had them arrested, suspended and charged with crimes.

We are calling UW community and students to rally in support of the students targeted by UW administration. DROP THE CHARGES! HANDS OFF OUR STUDENTS! RALLY TOMORROW, 1pm at Gerberding Hall.".
@nullagent hey, remember when a literal Nazi terrorist group (atomwaffen) was putting up Nazi flyers on UW campus, College Republicans brought a Nazi ghost writer to campus while we were all screaming "somebody is gonna get shot," and Cause was like, "free speech?"
Yeah, me fucking too.
