Pro-Hamas radicals cause $1 million in damage at the University of Washington
May 7, 2025
Approximately 30 pro-Hamas radicals were arrested at the University of Washington in Seattle after causing nearly $1 million worth of damage to property.
The group behind the destruction, Super UW, claimed it was marking the anniversary of the Hamas terrorist attack on October 7, which it described as a “heroic victory,” by occupying the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building.
According to local news outlet KOMO News, “doors were pulled off hinges, others were glued shut, machine manufacturing tools worth thousands of dollars were broken and smashed and a Boeing mural – with fresh paint and signage – was defaced.”
University spokesperson Victor Balta claimed the radicals created a “dangerous environment” by blocking entrances to the building and setting dumpsters on fire.
In a statement, Balta said, “The UW is committed to maintaining a secure learning and research environment, and strongly condemns this illegal building occupation and the antisemitic statement that was issued by a suspended student group Monday. The University will not be intimidated by this sort of offensive and destructive behavior and will continue to oppose antisemitism in all its forms.”

Balta may say he opposes destructive behavior and antisemitism, but the people involved have yet to face consequences. If you believe the pro-Hamas sympathizers should be held accountable, take action to let the Board of Regents and the Prosecuting Attorney’s Office know.
