Emails obtained through a public disclosure request reveal that Washington State Senator T’wina Nobles (D–28th District) called on University of Washington President Ana Mari Cauce to “protect” the violent and antisemitic 2024 campus Gaza encampment, just days after viral footage showed Jewish students being assaulted, harassed, and denied access to parts of campus.
In her email, obtained by The Ari Hoffman Show on Talk Radio 570 KVI, Nobles referred to the encampment as a “peaceful demonstration” and praised the activists occupying UW’s Quad, comparing them to participants in civil rights movements. The letter made no mention of the violent, documented incidents of antisemitic behavior reported by Jewish students and media outlets.
