UW Seattle students set up an autonomous Liberated Zone for a 'Free Palestine.' It features a library, but no free speech rights.
Student activists at the University of Washington in Seattle have set up an autonomous Liberated Zone on campus, also known as the University of Gaza. It features a medic and library according to a professor, but no free speech rights. And it’s growing.They also have stacks of wooden pallets they will use to fortify the encampment. According to a police source, they believe they’re making shields, as well.
The radicals include an unironic land acknowledgment as they illegally occupy land they claim was illegally occupied. It may only be accessed to “all who support a Free Palestine.” “I decided to do some filming and they kind of freaked out,” Reges explained. “They were they were saying, ‘Cover your face, cover your face. This man is filming! Oh my God.’ And then they said ‘You’re not allowed to do this.’ And I said, ‘What do you mean, this is a public space?’ ‘No, it’s not. It’s a private space. You’re not allowed to do this here.’
Pfeiffer ignored the violence and vandalism by activists around the country, claiming they have “come from outside agitators, counter-protestors , and the police themselves.”
