Israel-backed pro-Palestinian forces and ANTIFA clash in Seattle [VIDEOS]

On a tense Sunday at the University of Washington, contrasting groups converged as students protesting the school's connections to Israel and Boeing faced counter-protesters supporting Israel. Organized by The Pursuit NW, a Christian church group, the “United for Israel” march had hundreds of participants but ended peacefully around 6pm without incident.

Prior to the event, anticipation of the conflict was high, with the university bracing for potential clashes. The anti-Israel protest camp, known as the People's University of Gaza, has grown significantly since its inception in early May, now housing around 100 tents. Security was tight, with UW police and state troopers deployed, and metal gates set up to segregate protesters from counter-demonstrators.

The march began in Red Square on campus, with persecution pastor Russell Johnson emphasizing the peaceful intent behind his demonstration. Wrapped in Israeli and American flags, the protesters chanted slogans of support and listened to Johnson's speeches calling for the protection of Israeli hostages and the end of the camp.

The protest highlighted a deep divide over the university's affiliations and broader geopolitical issues, reflecting a microcosm of national debates playing out on college campuses across the country. As tensions persist, both groups advocate strongly for their causes, calling for broader debates about campus politics and international alignments. This event at the University of Washington is a powerful example of how national institutions are battlegrounds for global issues, with students and community members passionately engaging in these complex debates.
