A significant escalation, and more is to come.
“Pro-Palestinian vandals invade home of University of Washington president, carve Hamas symbols,” by Danielle Greyman-Kennard, Jerusalem Post, November 15, 2024:
Pro-Palestinian vandals invaded the home of University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce, on Thursday, damaging her car and leaving pro-Hamas symbols, the university confirmed in a statement.
University spokesperson Victor Balta said in an email Thursday evening that “several masked perpetrators” invaded Cauce’s home, where they slashed the tires to her car and painted “pro-Hamas symbols” across multiple surfaces. Videos circulating online show inverted triangles being painted onto home’s walls.
Those recorded promised, “you will not know peace until you meet the demands of our movement.”
“Free Palestine” and “blood on your hands” were also spray painted on Cause’s property.
“Making threats against a public official in an attempt to intimidate them is a crime,” Balta said in the statement. She confirmed that police were investigating the incident and that it “will not influence University policy.”
A Jewish alumni group, verified by the Seattle Times, condemned the attack, writing on X, “We unequivocally condemn this despicable behavior, and look to @SeattlePD and incoming AG @NickBrownNow to find and prosecute these lawbreakers. @UW”
Behind the attack
The alumni group also connected the incident to the Instagram page ‘Escalate Seattle’ which claimed to be sharing the video on behalf of anonymous students.
“ANA MARI FUNDS GENOCIDE This morning, Ana Mari woke up at her residential home in Lake City to red paint splattered on her front door and a message on her car, declaring ‘Ana Mari Funds Genocide.’ In the lead-up to today’s UW Board of Regents meeting, members of the community wanted to send a strong reminder to Ana Mari of her complicity in the genocide of Palestinians. In addition, flyers listing campus demands and quotes exposing her loyalty to Boeing-primary supplier of weapons for the zionist genocide [sic] – were wheatpasted [sic] on her house and left in her neighbors mailboxes,” the anonymous students allegedly wrote. “Cauce does not get to live a comfortable life or have a positive reputation while snuggling up to war profiteers. While Ana Mari and the Board of Regents use the bureaucratic process in an attempt to stall out the movement for Palestinian liberation, we will not be deceived or demobilized. Our movement will continue to escalate until the demands for cutting ties with war-profiteer Boeing and divestment from zionism [sic] are met.

By tolerating and turning a blind eye to the violent behavior of pro-“Palestinian” protests, U of W is just inviting more and worse violence.

I wonder whether he alone can crack down on the hoodlums in his university?

“He”? University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce sounds female to me. But these days, who can be sure?

they committed state crimes and a federal crime. ” left in her neighbors mailboxes,”
It is a Federal crime to put things in mailboxes. Each item in a mailbox, must have postage paid, delivered by a mail carrier.
Those who had flyers left in their mail boxes should contact their postal inspector.
And “the People” are not doing these things. Claiming it’s “The power of the people” is a lie. These goons are terrorists. It is not the desire of “The People” to see such things done, nor hear of them.

Until We the People start standing up to these criminals, putting them behind bars to let them know their actions will not be tolerated they will keep doing these things. And not behind bars for a few months but a few years, then maybe, just maybe they will learn what Freedom means.

It will if the colleges don’t fight back, suspending, expelling, and prosecuting these thugs.

Fitting that is was the University of Washington in the only state (Washington) where Trump did not increase his margin of the popular vote from 4 years ago. Even FDR referred to the state as the “Socialist Republic of Washington.”
There is something deeply wrong with this state and it goes the whole way back to 1889 when it became a state and even before when it became a territory in 1853. I’ve been there and it’s beautiful physiography wise but, a la George Carlin, the people are f…ed.
SC says
Here endeth the lesson.
If you keep letting the thugs get away with no consequences. They will continue escalating and pushing the boundaries.
Arrest, prosecute then allow lawsuits against their parents or families. If they are aliens they get deported same day they are convicted with a lifetime exclusion from the USA. The status of family and parents/siblings gets reviewed by immigration.

Payback time has arrived but needs to be tougher now.
An eye for an eye!
Andrew Blackadder says
If some white hooded KKK thugs were to do something like this to a black family the powers that be would working 24/7 to find the morons that did such an awful thing however as its morons of the Pali Gangs then somehow its almost tolerated.
These wee cowardly pricks are in for some serious wakening come next January.

after October 7th, I was puzzled. I thought, why would these stone-age mus´zlims attack an enemy so superior to their own capabilities????? Are they THAT stupid? Today, we have the answer. The attack was a provocation for a (justified) bellicose reaction. And now, this (still justified) reaction is used for a worldwide smear campaign against Israel, and it is carried out by the sheer number of violent muslims that have infiltrated Western societies under the pretext of religious freedom (and their idiotic left-wing boot lickers). Muslims whining, as usual, about human rights, while not respecting any of these rights in any of their countries.
Next question: Is the world THAT stupid?
Huapakechi says
According to moslem teachings, they are victims whenever some of their victims retaliate against unprovoked atrocities.
Is the world that stupid? Their leaders, bought by arab oil money, definitely are.
Bexarkat says
I can only hope that President Trump, by executive order, followed by Congressional law making, to declare such acts as domestic terrorism and assigned to the FBI for investigation.
Cynthia says
Not supid-complicit!
All this is orchestrated to create a one world order controlled by the elites. However, They will be executed as soon as their usefulness has expired by the Muslim hoards.

The Insurance company will declare it a WAR crime owing to Hamas/Israel war.

Good day,
I am not sympathetic with the UW leadership for their suffering, at the hands of the spawn they have created. Their management of the UW has kept it the leftist epicenter of Washinton State sine the central plaza was named nicknamed Red Square back in the 60’s.
What they should be doing in hunting down everyone that helped in the planning and execution of this terrorist act and booting them out of school with failing grades, calling in all student loans that they or their parents have taken out, and prosecuting them at every level from city to federal on charges. And, if they are foreign students, after having done all the above, deporting them.
But firm action against their ‘children’ cannot be expected from the school’s staff. At the national level I hope that over the next two years our national leadership looks at restructuring the tax law on institutional endowments.
