University students stir outrage by honouring Hamas 'martyrs' in sickening protest
One sign said "glory to our martyrs" in praise of Hamas despite their brutal terrorist attack which saw infants mercilessly killed.
A disturbing demonstration was held at the University of Washington as some students were seen praising Hamas after the terrorist group's attack in Israel.
Footage has shown Jewish students in tears as they begged a university administrator to stop the rally.
One sobbing student said: "They want our people dead. They want us killed."
Another said: "How are you allowing this? Why aren't you putting a stop to this? Please end it. Please."

The demonstration was held at the University of Washington's red square, and was advertised beforehand as a gathering to "uplift the just Palestinian resistance" and "condemn the settler colonial state of Israel."
Flyers for the event depicted a paraglider, appearing to be alluding to the Hamas terrorists who launched their incursion into Israel last week.
Another video showed pro-Israel and pro-Palestine protestors facing off.
One student said of Hamas: "Glory to our Martyrs" on a sign while another read "Justice = Peace."
Another sign asked: "Do you support decolonization as an abstract academic theory? Or as a tangible event?"

Jonathan Neman, a Georgetown graduate and the co-founder and CEO of Sweetgreen, responded to the event.
He said: "As a Georgetown alum this makes me very sad to see."
This comes as an Israeli student was assaulted at New York City's Ivy League University on Wednesday night.
At Yale University, an associate professor cheered on Hamas' attacks branding the incursion an "extraordinary day."
Israel's death toll has reached 1,300 while over 1,500 Gazans have been killed by Israeli strikes.
The Israeli government has warned 1.1million Gazans to move to the south of the Strip as they warn more bombardment is to come.
But the head of Hamas’s political and international relations has told Gazans to remain in their homes.
Basem Naim said: “We have two options: To defeat this occupation or to die in our homes.
“We are not going to leave. We are not ready to repeat the Nakba again.
“We were dying in silence. We have tried to get out of this open-air prison, we have tried to raise our voices at the level of the international community … what we are doing is an act of defence, we are defending our existence.
“We are eager to live in freedom and dignity, we have to get rid of this occupation. This is the root of all evil in the region.”
There are fears that it won't be possible for the 1.1million Gazans in the north to move south.
