Unidentified faculty and staff at the University of Washington (UW) are defending a group of antisemites accused of committing over $1 million in damage to campus property. It tells you everything you need to know about the rot at the UW.

When a coalition calling itself “Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine” took to the pages of The Daily to lament an “autocratic” crackdown at the UW in Seattle, we knew we’d get a cowardly defense of antisemites. In this case, they were standing up for the students who allegedly occupied the Boeing-funded Interdisciplinary Engineering Building, wreaking more than $1 million in damage, while also openly celebrating the Oct. 7 Hamas terrorist attack against Israel.

The students were arrested and are awaiting potential felony charges. They’ve been banned from campus. But they have advocates in like-minded, anti-Israel UW faculty.

UW faculty is pretending antisemitic students are punished for ‘dissent’

In their op-ed, the Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine criticize UW for effectively punishing dissent. It’s revisionist history and the kind of propaganda that they learned from the very terrorist group they back in Gaza.

In 鈥淎utocracy at UW,鈥� they accuse the administration of “autocratic methods,” insisting that dissent is not a crime鈥攁ll while hiding behind anonymity and slogans, and pretending the students were punished for speech, not their alleged illegal occupation and .

“No public evidence has been provided to suggest that the suspended students pose an ongoing threat to the campus community. To the extent that political speech in moments of urgency can provoke principled disagreement, top-down retaliation will only disallow critical reflection and productive dialogue. The administration appears to have presumed guilt and distorted the purpose of emergency authority to apply collective punishment,” the unidentified staffers wrote.

Let鈥檚 be clear: these masked agitators spray-painted “Boeing Kills” across labs, tore classroom doors off their hinges, glued shut emergency exits, and shattered $100,000-plus glass panels on $1 million worth of specialized machinery. That鈥檚 not protest鈥攊t鈥檚 property destruction and intimidation masked as political speech. Still, the faculty op-ed effectively argued their alleged actions were justified.

“Particularly in times of moral crisis and institutional complicity, student protesters have played a vital role in holding universities accountable to their professed values and ethical commitments,” they wrote.

Whitewashing violence to justify Jew hatred

The anonymous cowards in the faculty “op-ed” have nothing to say about violent vandalism. Instead, they posture about “student organizing.” They’re angry at UW鈥檚 decision to pursue punishment, whine about suppression of “expressions of Palestinian solidarity,” but never acknowledge that property damage and threats against Jewish students aren鈥檛 about “free speech and academic freedom,” but criminal acts.

They criticize Boeing for the supposed immorality of supporting the Israeli government defend itself against terrorists who don’t believe in their right to exist. The faculty does not 辞苍肠别听mention Hamas or the terrorist attack against Jews. To these faculty members, raping, kidnapping, and murdering Jews seems justified.

And let鈥檚 not forget their grotesque celebration of Oct. 7. In a manifesto, Super UW鈥攖he extremist student arm behind the occupation鈥攃laimed they were “responding to the call” of Gaza鈥檚 October 7 terrorist attack, celebrating how it 鈥渟hattered the illusion of zionist-imperialist domination” and “brought Palestine to the forefront for all justice-loving people of the world.”

By defending that, the faculty “op-ed” openly aligns itself with supporters of mass murder.

Redefining ‘autocracy’ to justify antisemitism

The true autocracy isn鈥檛 UW鈥檚 response鈥攊t鈥檚 the moral tyranny these cowards exert over campus discourse. They demand silence from anyone who might call out real antisemitism. They weaponize 鈥渟olidarity鈥� to shield themselves from accountability for their hatred. And they cling to anonymity because they know their arguments don鈥檛 hold water under scrutiny.

The university鈥攁 place built on debate, evidence, and, yes, the rule of law鈥攎ust continue to resist this bullying.

UW got it right when it condemned lawlessness and antisemitism. Because defending violent, Hamas-celebrating “occupiers” is not courage; it鈥檚 cowardice masquerading as martyrdom. I think the students 飞补苍迟别诲听to be arrested so they can claim some kind of victim-status at the hands of Jewish-aligned administrators, no doubt. And now you have faculty members playing hero.

Let the record show who stands for antisemitism鈥攁nd let those faceless “Faculty & Staff for Justice in Palestine” keep hiding in the shadows they鈥檝e so shamefully embraced.
