The students demanded the university cut all ties with Israel and condemn what they call attacks on pro-Palestinian UW students and staff.

“Student members of the Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return at UW were doxxed and threatened online for holding a rally, UW President Ana Mari Cauce used her platform to condemn the rally and the Palestinian resistance,” an unidentified rally organizer said.

Cauce said in a statement the school permits protected speech, but did not condone or support this rally or a previous one at UW on Oct. 12, just days after the initial Hamas attack on Israel.

“We understand the fear the Jewish community is feeling during this very difficult time,” Cauce鈥檚 spokesperson told The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH. “We are aware of events such as today’s walk-out, which are not condoned or otherwise supported by the university. The UW’s Division of Campus Community Safety staff are working to ensure safety for the campus community.

“This has been and will likely continue to be a difficult academic year in ways none of us could have foreseen before October 7,” Cauce’s spokesperson continued. “We are dedicated to the safety of our Jewish community members and to maintaining UW as a place where every student knows that they are welcome and supported.”
