SEATTLE - Anger over the Israel-Hamas war is spilling over to Washington State, with activists on both sides facing off at the University of Washington.
The school was already mourning the death of former international relations PhD student Hayim Katsman, who was working on peaceful resolutions to the Palestinian conflict when he was killed. The moments of friction were evident during a pro-Palestine demonstration on Thursday.
Hundreds of Palestine supporters gathered at UW’s Red Square for a "Day of Resistance."
"The fact that Palestinians have been living under terror regime of occupation for over 75 years. These moments are a manifestation of this oppression. It is the oppressed fighting the oppressor," said Bissan Barghouti, who spoke at the pro-Palestine rally.
