Pastor Russell Johnson Speech at UW United For Israel March - May 12th

Speaking before Ari Hoffman of KVI radio at the rally, Pastor Russell Johnson of Pursuit NW Church in Seattle WA lead speeches for the Pro-Israel demonstration and opened with the US national anthem, then a sung Israeli anthem after.

He and other demonstrators denounced the UW's stance with regard to holding little regard for holding the Palestine Encampment to task for barring Jewish Students from entering, even condemning their efforts to facilitate the effort in reflection of it mirroring events preceding WW2 in Wynmar Germany.

Along with his speech, there were various people from the counter demo from the Pro-Hamas/Palestine crowd mixed into the audience of Israeli/American demonstrators.

The demonstrations and even engagement was largely civil and/or nonviolent, though there have been times arguments were close to heated due to the blood-deep ties that are at the root of both sides of the demonstrations.

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