Jewish voices silenced as anti-Israel agitators shut down UW meeting discussing antisemitism
Source: Washington Examiner
Jewish leaders were unable to speak uninterrupted, if at all, during a University of Washington Board of Regents meeting on Thursday, as anti-Israel agitators shouted them down until the meeting was prematurely adjourned and attendees were evacuated to safety.
After approximately a dozen anti-Israel speakers made uninterrupted arguments for why they feel the school should divest from companies associated with Israel, six Jewish speakers concerned about antisemitism on campus were slated to speak next. However, the first five speakers were unable to speak without being interrupted by jeers and chants, and the sixth speaker wasn’t able to speak at all.
“We were talking about harassment that Jewish students have experienced [on campus], and that is exactly what happened in the room,” Kane said. “We were repeatedly interrupted. We were not given the opportunity to speak without disruption, and I think that that speaks to the problem on the campus.”
Kane explained that police escorted the Jewish speakers, along with the regents and university president, to safety “out through an exit, down a stairwell off of a rooftop, down a few floors,” while the anti-Israel demonstrators remained in the meeting room.

What is amazing to me is that MSM is not picking up the story. DEI is great as long as you're not a Jew. Ask a protestor what "from water to water, Palestine will be Arab" means (the original arabic form of 'from river to sea, Palestine will be free')?
You can't communicate with people who consider you their inferiors (as Arabs do of Jews) and who want you dead or gone. Islam was shamed in 1948 by a group of ragtag Jews who came to Israel because no other country would have them. What they don't seem to understand is that you can't relitigate history and the Jews aren't going anywhere since they are not safe anywhere else. At least in Israel they have an army to defend itself from 22 Arab countries, including one Palestinian state already (Jordan was originally carved from the original mandate for Palestine, and is comprised of 60% Palestinian Arabs).
