Protestors from both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict gathered at the University of Washington (UW) campus in Seattle on Thursday.

A video shows Jewish students at the campus in tears at the protest.

"They want our people dead, they want us killed," a student cried, according to footage shared by analyst Natasha Mozgovaya. "Please end it, please."

Demonstrators on the pro-Palestine side can be heard chanting, "There is only one solution — Intifada revolution."


HAPPENING NOW: Massive pro-Palestine rally happening at the University of Washington's Red Square. Handful of pro-Israel demonstrators have arrived and now confronting the crowd. They want students to condemn Hamas and call them terrorists. ANTIFA militants are also here. It is… pic.twitter.com/v3UmBLFpsl

The Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return at the UW campus shared a flyer on their Instagram page about the event taking place, but it has since been deleted. 


I got an idea:@UW students, faculty, & alumni are rallying tomorrow in support of barbarians

Let's get the names of everyone who attends and organizes this event, post them, and tell their employers they have people who support monsters.

"Labeling every Palestinian as Hamas and calling every Palestinian a terrorist … This is not helping the cause," a pro-Palestinian protestor told KIRO Newsradio, according to MyNorthwest. "We've been struggling for 75 years and nobody talks about this."

"This is a disgrace. They are killing women, children, raping our girls. They took our babies into Gaza," a pro-Israel protester told the outlet. "The fact that people aren't seeing it for what it is is disgusting."

Ozi Goldstein, who is Jewish and pro-Palestinian, explained he doesn't support the actions of Hamas, but instead supports the Palestinian people as a whole, per the outlet.

"Fundamentally, this is an oppressed people rising up against occupation," he said.

Ana Mari Cauce, the university's president, issued a statement on Monday regarding the conflict.

"The terror, loss of life and outbreak of war in Israel and Gaza over the weekend, which began with the reprehensible attacks by Hamas, is devastating to all of us, and my heart is with every member of our community who has ties to or loved ones in this deeply troubled region," Cauce wrote.

"And at a time when we have seen increased acts of antisemitism and anti-Muslim and anti-Arab violence, I want to reiterate that we must not allow our opinions, grief or anger about the conflict to spill over into abusive behavior or harassment of anyone — civility remains a core value of our academic community," Cauce added.

The Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return issued a response rejecting and condemning the president's statement in an Instagram post.

"This statement sends the message to all racially oppressed and exploited students and workers in the UW community: that The University of Washington supports Zionist war crimes and is opposed to the Palestinian people's just demand for an end to over 75 years of ethnic cleansing, crimes against humanity, and genocide."

Many of the pro Palestine protesters at colleges probably have no clue about the history of the conflict and are just pro Palatine because the US government is pro Israel.  But that is still no reason to support Hamas killing innocent people, there is no justification for that.

I agree the protests are organized by Palestinians.  I also think many, if not most of the protesters are going along for the ride.

For this particular war, at this particular time, Joe is doing OK as far as support for Israel.  That will change as soon as CNN and MSNBC start airing HAMAS manufactured atrocities that they will blame on the IDF.  At that point Joe will pivot to negotiation with the terrorists.

Could be because Hamas, wanting to get more Gazans killed in order to raise world sympathy, has blocked the roads to the south.  They really don't give a shit how many Gazans die.  I don't understand why the Gazans are so ignorant as to allow themselves to be used as cannon fodder rather than coming to the realization that it is their own Hamas government that is murdering them.

Atheists who support theocratic lunatics, democrats who endorse medieval tyrants, feminists who defend misogynists who parade with the desecrated corpses of women, gays who defend maniacs who would joyfully hang them or toss them off the roof of a tall building. They talk of a secular, democratic and socialist Palestine. As George Orwell observed: “One has to belong to the intelligentsia to believe things like that: no ordinary man could be such a fool.” But the world has now seen what “from the river to the sea” actually means. It is nothing less than a remake of the Nazi Einsatzgruppen .

Have any of them read the Hamas charter?


The  Hamas Covenant  or  Hamas Charter , formally known in English as the  Covenant of the Islamic Resistance Movement , was originally issued on 18 August 1988 and outlines the founding identity, stand, and aims of  Hamas  (the Islamic Resistance Movement). [1]  A new charter was issued by Hamas leader  Khaled Mashal  on 1 May 2017 in  Doha . [2]

The original Charter identified Hamas as the  Muslim Brotherhood  in Palestine and declares its members to be  Muslims  who "fear  God  and raise the banner of  Jihad  in the face of the oppressors." The charter states that "our struggle against the Jews is very great and very serious" and calls for the eventual creation of an  Islamic state  in Palestine, in place of  Israel  and the  Palestinian Territories , [3]  and the obliteration or dissolution of Israel. [4] [5]  It emphasizes the importance of jihad, stating in article 13, "There is no solution for the Palestinian question except through Jihad. Initiatives, proposals and international conferences are all a waste of time and vain endeavors." [6]  The charter also states that Hamas is humanistic, and tolerant of other religions as long as they "stop disputing the sovereignty of Islam in this region". [7]  The Charter adds that "renouncing any part of Palestine means renouncing part of the religion [of Islam]". [1]  The original charter was criticized for its violent language against all Jews, which some commentators characterized as  incitement to genocide . [8] [9]

It is hard for me to fathom how Palestinians have tolerated the abuses of their leaders in Hamas, or why.

Actually when Israel withdrew from Gaza, there was a short bloody  "war" between two factions-- I think it was between Hamas and those of the Fatah who were in Gaza. (They are bitter rivals>But IIRC it only lasted a few days (I don't remember the details I think Hamas won the war, brutally torturing and killing off Fatah members.

I believe some Fatah members eventually escaped to the West bank.

I just googled it:

The  Battle of Gaza , also referred to as  Hamas's takeover of Gaza , was a military conflict between  Fatah  and  Hamas  that took place in the  Gaza Strip  from 10 to 15 June 2007. It was a prominent event in the  Fatah–Hamas conflict , centered on the struggle for power after Fatah lost the  2006 Palestinian legislative election . The battle resulted in the dissolution of the  unity government [3]  and the  de facto  division of the  Palestinian territories  into two entities: the  West Bank  governed by the  Palestinian National Authority  (PNA), and the Gaza Strip  governed by Hamas . Hamas fighters took control of the Gaza Strip, while Fatah officials were either taken as prisoners, executed or expelled. [3] [4]  The  Palestinian Centre for Human Rights  reported that at least 161 people were killed and more than 700 were wounded during the fighting. [1]

You know, they keep calling Israel "colonizers" but the Jews have been there since about 1250 BC and have always been there. Most of them got disbursed when Rome destroyed Jerusalem in 70 AD, but there was always a remnant there right up to the reestablishment of the country in modern times. They are more "indigenous" than any other group in the area.

Yep. That's why I have little patience with Native American complaints. There isn't anything the Europeans did that they weren't already doing, except on a smaller scale due to their lower technology. Pretty much without exception, the first things tribes and nations did when encountering the Europeans was try to enlist them and the power they represented against their enemies. That is, they were attracted to the Europeans because they wanted that power for themselves so that they could continue doing unto others, only with more power.

Who were not indigenous but, rather, pushed out or otherwise dominated those who were there before them. 

So, since that entire region is one long history of one group pushing out or subjugating another group, "indigenous" takes on a rather punch drunk meaning, don't you think?

And BTW the Egyptian occupation of Gaza was very harsh! They didn't like the Palestinians and didn't want themthere. So, for example, if a Palestinian planted a tree Egyptian soldiers pulled it out.

After the Egyptians were forced out by Israel the Israel occupation began. And it was the opposite of the Egyptian-- the Israelis built settlements but also encouraged commerce.

The standard of living for the Gazans was pretty high actually. (The Jews wanted that-- if only because A- if the Palis were happy they wouldn't attack the Israelis and B-If the Palis had money there could be commerce between them and the Jews-- benfitting both parties.

I don't remeber the year, but the Egyptians built a high wall (not a fence) on their Gaza border. Eventually the Gazans toppled it and lots of them ran into Egypt! (Except for local Egyptian women who ran into Gaza!

I remember a somewhat similar story earlier-- but not about support for terrorism. And there will be more-- because due to the Internet is so easy to check on someone's past even if they fake (or even write a good) resume, and even with great recommendations etc.

A while back companies discovered how easy it had become to get info re; job applicants-- now that they had the Internet! One of the first stories I read about was that personnel depts, checking on the background o fjob applicants, discovered some of them had been in porn movies-- they felt that was a disqualifying factor so they didn't hire them! (In some cases they had credentials and references-- but the porn past totally ruined their job chances.

So now they're doing with people who support terrorism.

Smart move!

I'm puzzled by your comment.  I can't determine if you consider it a disgusting depiction of the truth or if you consider it disgusting that I posted it.

What I find disgusting is the need to point out how some fairly well-educated people are willing to justify terrorism.

This just shows that even "well-educated" people are blithering idiots.

And most of the countries that do have Palestinian refugees actually treat them badly-- really discriminate against them.

Jordan treated them well after 1948, offered Jordanian citizenship and set aside 30 seats in Parliament, same as the East Bank.  Jordan’s kindness was repaid by a Palestinian that assassinated their King and later tried to overthrow the government.

I remember that.

I don't know if its still true, but I know that Jordan actually has a "Palestinian majority"> And some people have made the case that therefore it could become a new nation of "Palestine"-- a second Palestine in addition to the one thats already exists.

Egypt doesn't want them. In fact in the past the Egyptians actually built a wall between Gaza and Egypt to keep then out! (People often talk about the Israeli blockade of Gaza-- but that's a bit misleading as it implies only the israel was blockading them-- because so is Egypt!

In fact the Egyptians built a wall (not a fence) to keep Gazans out! The Gazans eventually knocked it down:

The Palestinian group Hamas destroyed a portion of the wall dividing Egypt and Gaza, which has been under a blockade" .
