Description
Three federal agencies are reviewing Monday night's protests at the University of Washington (UW) as incidents of what the agencies call "antisemitic violence.”
More than 30 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested overnight after breaking into an engineering building on the campus. They demanded the university cut ties with Boeing because of the company's defense contracts with the military, specifically what is being used to support the Israel Defense Forces.
On Tuesday night, the Departments of Education, Health and Human Service (HHS) and the U.S. General Services Administration announced they will review the incidents through the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism.
The task force said it “appreciates the university’s strong statement condemning last night’s violence and applauds the quick action by law enforcement officers to remove violent criminals from the university campus.”
