What were the underlying causes of the protest, and how does it connect to broader patterns of student activism?

This protest, organized by the suspended student group Students United for Palestinian Equality and Return (SUPER) UW, highlights growing student activism against corporate involvement in military conflicts. The occupation and subsequent arrests underscore the deep divisions surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the role of corporations in supplying weapons. The group's manifesto praised Hamas's October 7th attacks on Israel, adding another layer of complexity to the event.
