SUPER UW, a notorious student group at the University of Washington that was previously suspended for causing over $1 million in damages in an anti-Semitic occupation of a campus building, has escalated its agenda to not only call for violence, but to also teach it.
On June 5, 2025, the group held a “Teach-in” in which they praised terrorist organizations, downplayed atrocities, and advocated for armed violence as a “scientific necessity.”
Be informed, not misled.
These people are serious.
Last month, KOMO News in Seattle reported:
The group that organized a takeover protest of a building on the University of Washington campus earlier this week is demanding that the school's administration drop all charges and suspensions against people who participated.
Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER UW) held a rally on campus Thursday, the day after UW announced it was suspending 21 students for the destructive protest.
We think it is shameful that they would be punished in an emergency suspension without due process," said James Lopez, who identified himself as an organizer of the rally. “I think it is sad that we are focusing on millions of dollars in damage to one building here and not the billions of dollars of damage and the hundreds of thousands of lives lost in Gaza.
Monday's protest targeted the Interdisciplinary Engineering Building, which was built with a $10 million donation from Boeing. Super UW said the occupation of the building would not end until their demands were met to repurpose the building and divest from Boeing.
The event began with a diagram repurposing the scientific method to justify armed resistance. Shortly after, the hosts began praising Al-Aqsa Flood, the deadly surprise attack Hamas launched on Israel on Oct 7, 2023, as a “day of decolonization—and as a fundamental turning point within the world's history.”
They even showed footage of the attack and celebrated it, stating, “On that day, we saw Palestinians walking onto their land, some for the first time in decades, with the mythical Zionist entity burning.”
During the teach-in at the University of Washington, participants watched propaganda videos and read quotes from known terrorists and radicals, with moments resembling an initiation ceremony — including “agreement snapping” when attendees endorsed certain points.

Brandy Shufutinsky, of the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, attended the teach-in to expose its content. Speaking on The Ari Hoffman Show, she described it as “one of the worst instances I’ve seen of explicit support for terrorism on a US college campus.”
The group framed the October 7 attack as a righteous response to Israel’s alleged colonial oppression, arguing that Israel’s compulsory military service made every citizen complicit combatants in a “genocidal Zionist military.” This, they claimed, justified Hamas’ actions and blurred the lines on true Israeli civilian deaths, since none except children were truly innocent.
The hosts also conducted a scripted reading aimed at Israelis: “As for you, the children of pigs, you will have only death, and your demise is just around the corner.” Reportedly, the audience applauded in agreement.
CNS says, "The teach-in further downplayed terrorism as the hosts condemned the U.S.’s use of the word 'terrorist' by dismissing it as an imperialistic tool, rather than a word that accurately labels violent and dangerous groups."
The group also further advocated for escalating violence and rejected a two-state solution, calling it “permanent colonization [of stolen land].”
Takeaway
The University of Washington, funded by taxpayer dollars, has failed to address SUPER UW’s violence-promoting event. This oversight highlights the growing concern about public universities using taxpayer dollars to support anti-Semitic groups throughout the country.
I'm reminded that Noah Webster, considered the founder of what we now know as "public education," once said, "The Bible is the only textbook needed for a good education."
