Seattle – Thirty -one people were arrested after protests escalated Monday night at Washington University.
The university released a statement on Tuesday morning, condemning the illegal activity and an anti -Semitic statement issued by a “terminated student group”, although it did not name the group.
At the end of the day, four out of the 31 arrested had a first appearance and were released from the court. Initially, an additional person was intended to have a court appearance, but published a bond.
The remaining 26 people received dates for hearing a first appearance for Wednesday morning. However, they also published a bond and they are not required to appear for these gross offenses.
By Tuesday night, no one was directed to the County County.
The other side
The Super UW Group – Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return – Published on Instagram, claiming that the protest is in contrast to a newly funded Boeing building. The group said it wanted the university to reduce its Boeing ties due to the company’s military treaties and to redirect the building.
A member of Super UW told FOX 13 Seattle that they were in his statement that the attacks led by Hamas were “heroic”, but they said they were not anti -Semitic.
“There are many connections between Zionism and Judaism and for anyone who has taken the time to actually look at what Zionism means as a national project and the type of creation in the early one, I am sorry, at the end of 1800. He realizes him as a different thing like Judaism as a whole,” said Noah’s weave the student of UW and a member of Super UW.
What they say
The university said the protesters created a dangerous environment around the new interdisciplinary engineering building, which caused a response to law enforcement. According to protesters, many covered persons have blocked access to two streets near the building, including entrances and exits.
Campus police began to clear the area around 10:30 am and entered the building approximately 30 minutes later.
The university said about 30 persons were arrested for occupying the building, with charges, including violation, destruction of property and violation of behavior.

Impact
This type of UW campus can cost millions to the university.
On Tuesday, the University of Colombia announced that it was declining around 180 employees. This decision follows the Trump administration, which announces that it has canceled $ 400 million in federal grants at the school. The announcement was made in March and the decision was based on “school failure to protect Jewish students from anti -Semitic harassment”.
Colombian University said it would reduce about 180 employees on Tuesday after a message from Trump’s administration in March that it had canceled $ 400 million federal grants because of the “Ivy League School Failed to Protect Jews from Students from Student Students from Students from Students from Student Students by students from Jewish students from Jewish students from students from Hebrew anti -Semitic harassment. “
Regina Sasun Friedland Regional Director of the US Jewish Committee tells FOX 13 Seattle that the president’s desire to protect the Jewish community from anti -Semitism.
However, she believes that the university should be given a chance to take its own actions.
“If the schools take action, the way the University of Washington did last night, they take it seriously, and then I don’t think we need federal intervention if they already take action,” she said.
