A planned anti-Israel encampment at the University of Washington was scrapped at the last minute because of a lack of diversity following fierce backlash for not involving any Muslim, Palestinian or Arab students.
"We want to make sure this encampment is a better reflection of the UW community, and having even greater unity with Muslim, Palestinian, and Arab students," said the group.
The group said it was influenced by protests "at Columbia, New York University, the University of Michigan, and beyond" that showed the "student movement in this country will not back down in its fight for Palestinian liberation."
However, the initial announcement of the encampment sparked anger at those not involved.

- "Please listen to the Palestinian, Arab and Muslim students criticizing this event and cancel it," one person commented to the initial post.
- "Y'all have zero community support in this bc of your inability to center Palestinians and Arabs and this is so poorly planned," someone else stated.
- "Why was [StudentsUnited for Palestinian Equality and Return] not consulted?" another person asked.
- "Why is there no Arab or Muslim leadership? This is the only page I have seen this posted, which leads me to believe that no other orgs endorse this action. This is dangerous and weird to be honest."
