At George Washington University in Washington, DC, anti-Israel protesters displayed President Joe Biden’s image over an American flag hanging from a building behind their encampment. The flag was projected with the words “Genocide Joe” as protesters chanted “Long live the intifada.” Additionally, the protesters renamed the university’s U-Yard as “Shahada Square” to honor their martyrs.
This encampment is part of a larger movement that started at Columbia University and has spread to various college campuses. The protesters have made demands such as divesting from Israeli companies, ending academic ties with Israel, and calling for a ceasefire in the conflict between Israel and Hamas. Reports also mention vandalism of the George Washington statue on campus.
