Disgusting: Pro-Gaza Protesters Do the Unthinkable at George Washington University

Share

According to the Wokenistas, the American people are to sit passively at their TVs and computers and watch anti-American, anti-Israel and anti-Western civilization ginned-up-radical-leftwing- activists take over buildings, destroy property and threaten the safety of those around them.

How much is enough?

Anti-Israel protesters at George Washington University went so far as to drape a Palestinian flag over the shoulders of a statue of George Washington — the first of the Founding Fathers. That’s not all. The menacing mob also wrote “Genocidal Warmongering University” on the base of the statue.

Daily Signal producer Virginia Allen posted a video clip of the defaced statue on X. “Protesters have draped a Palestinian flag around a statue of George Washington on the GWU campus in DC. ‘Genocidal Warmongering University’ is written in paint on the base of the statue,” she wrote.

Another X post showed a statute of George Washington with the words “Free Gaza” painted on the base.

You get the picture. The vandals may as well be urinating on the Constitution. They hate America — they hate you — that much.

Do you support a university's right to expel a student for defacing property?

On Monday, university officials said protesters “breached and dismantled” barriers put in place to protect GWU’s University Yard, according to WTTG.

A statement from the university read, “This group of approximately 200 protesters from across the DMV, including professional organizers, activists, and university students, have joined the unauthorized encampment on our campus.”

If you’re wondering how a bunch of college kids become rabid supporters of terrorists who purposefully target innocent civilians — including children — to rape, torture and kidnap for no other reason than to stir up terror in Israel and abroad, then look no further. Universities across the nation have allowed professional agitators and radical leftist activists to infiltrate their campuses.

Some of the radicals are the professors and college administrators themselves.

“This is an egregious violation of community trust and goes far beyond the boundaries of free expression and the right to protest,” the GWU statement continued. “The university will use every avenue available to ensure those involved are held accountable for their actions.”

If you’re waiting for justice, don’t hold your breath. The protesters don’t seem too worried about it.

A sophomore at GWU, who helped organize the protest and asked WTTG to only refer to her as “Miriam,” said, “We had so much community support. It’s absolutely outstanding how the community has shown up and shown out for us. Gaza is our reason. Gaza is our compass. They’re the reason we’re doing this. Everything is for them.”

It almost sounds like the extracurricular protests have the blessing of the powers that be. That kind of support — real or imagined — only emboldens the baby brat protesters.

The protesters demand that the university drop any charges against pro-Palestinian students, “the immediate disclosure of all investments and endowments of the university, and divestment of all funds related to Israel and academic partnerships,” according to WTTG.

Is that all? The pro-Gaza idiots may as well ask for the heads of the pro-Israel students and faculty.

“We’re going to be here until our demands are met. It doesn’t matter what they say, what they do. We’re staying,” Miriam continued. “We’re not going anywhere. We’re here to support each other and keep each other safe. We’re going to be here as long as we need to.”

By here, she means the tent city on campus. Allen posted a “quick tour” of the radicals’ home away from home on X.

How long is the pro-American, pro-Israel and pro-Western civilization crowd supposed to sit on the sidelines in their own country? Some have had enough.

On Tuesday, a small group of students at a violent anti-Israel protest in North Carolina refused to allow the American flag to be replaced with a Palestinian flag. When the American flag was restored to its rightful position, the crowd broke out in a rendition of “The Star Spangled Banner.” That’s the spirit!

An unsuspecting and somewhat uninformed student who witnessed the incident wrote on X, “Today was a sad yet empowering day at Chapel Hill. When I walked to class, I saw the Palestinian flag raised on our quad flag pole, and was immediately upset at the act that these ‘protestors’ had made. I cannot say I am fully educated on the Israel/Palestine conflict.”

The witness is getting educated quickly. More students need to get a taste of reality. A violent stupidity virus engineered by the far left is running rampant on college campuses. We need all the antibodies we can get.


A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:

 

I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.” 

 

That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.

 

Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.

 

The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”

 

All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.

 

Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control. 

 

A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.

 

We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight? 

 

Sincerely,

Josh Manning

Deputy Managing Editor
