SEATTLE — More calls for an end to the war between Israel and Palestine as pro-Palestinian protestors gathered outside UW Station on Monday.
This comes as several protestors could soon be charged after last month’s shutdown on I-5. After Washington State Patrol (WSP) announced those charges, organizers told KOMO News it wouldn’t stop them from showing up and added they will not be silenced.
“I can speak for myself when I say I’m not only willing to be charged or willing to be arrested or willing to be tackled. I’m willing to die for this,” said Hossam Nasr, an organizer part of the Palestinian Youth Movement.
