Swift, but Peaceful UW Seattle Gaza Camp Protest - United for Israel March, May 12th

The Israeli Protest Crowd originally intended to demonstrate through the Quad where there was a Hamas Intifada encampment set up since the middle of April, but they had the destination stopped short as police and state troopers barred their approach with Hamas supporters guarded with separation barriers.

Many have said that this has created a precedent, despite peaceful, that UW staff have still been less than willing to prevent the Pro-Gaza campers from intimidating and segregating/preventing Jewish students from entering UW campuses. It is now legally condemned as UW has voted to ask the encampment people to leave, but little else has been done so far.

Despite this lack of enforcement, the Police have maintained distance from the Intifada attracted crowd to prevent clashes with Israeli demonstrators for those demanding the release of the 28-32 hostages in Hamas grasp. Israel in turn is launching an invasion of Rafah which is one of the more pivotal cities in all of Gaza for control of the area by Hamas.

The speakers included those from the recently formed church as well as IDF soldier(s) and even Ari Hoffman of Kiro Radio.

The demo proceeded from Red Square and briefly touched base with the Pro-Hamas campers but only before being stopped by police.

They proceeded to march towards the church were many then went on to listen and attend for the afternoon.

This took place on May 12th, 2024 at University of Seattle Red Square with thousands of students, older Jewish and Christian Americans.
