New documentary sheds light on outrageous antisemitism at UW Seattle

While Ivy League schools like Columbia and Harvard have been the epicenter of news coverage over antisemitism on campus, it has also been rampant in Seattle at the University of Washington. And now it’s getting spotlighted in a new short-form documentary.

Los Angeles-based writer and filmmaker Jason Kessler is the host of the YouTube Show “Jew or False.” He has created a new exposé that reveals the onslaught of anti-Jewish sentiment at the University of Washington.

Kessler says that the aftermath of the October 7^th terrorist attacks created a painful new reality for Jewish students. And he needed to cover it for the nation to see.

“Jewish students were terrified. They hid their Stars of David and took off their yarmulkes. They avoided campus and skipped class in the months that followed.  Swastikas spattered around campus like mushrooms after a rainstorm, and the hateful rallies continued,” says Kessler in the documentary.

Brazen antisemitism was accepted at UW

Kessler says one of the most jarring things about the antisemitic activism on campus is just how brazen it was.

“The attack on the president’s house was crazy. The fact that students went and slashed her tires and graffitied her home and put pro Hamas symbols,” Kessler told “The Jason Rantz Show” on KTTH.

“And I think the craziest thing about that is that they posted the whole thing on Instagram and had an explicit threat,” he added.

To make matters worse, Kessler says these events are still going on.

“There’s a student group on campus called ‘SUPER UW’ and they’re supposedly suspended. But even as recently as last week, they’re still holding events on campus.”

And don’t let these radicals fool into believing that they’re merely “pro-Palestinian” and not pro-Hamas. Kessler says this student group once held an event that explicitly amplified terrorist propaganda.

“They celebrate Leila Khaled who was a terrorist who was involved in hijackings. They platformed another terrorist and showed a video of him, somebody who was affiliated with a known terrorist group,” said Kessler.

“Thing that blew me away is one person in the crowd asked the person in charge how she responds when people bring up the violence of October 7, and people have to watch the video because you won’t believe how she responds so casually.”
