Video Reveals Pro-Palestinian GWU Students Calling for Campus Leaders' Execution
By Jennifer Kabbany, The College Fix
A video from the pro-Palestinian occupation encampment at George Washington University (GWU) has surfaced, showing students cheering for the execution of their campus leaders via guillotines. This footage was recorded by a citizen journalist known as “Stu” during the group’s “People’s Tribunal” which was live-streamed on Instagram.
Details of the "People's Tribunal"
Stu reported that during the "People's Tribunal" at the George Washington University Gaza Solidarity Encampment, the protesters put several university figures on trial. These included President Ellen Granberg, Provost Christopher Bracey, the Board of Trustees, GW Police, and others. Stu questioned the normalcy of students wishing to execute their provost and Board of Trustees and called out the university leaders for their inaction.
Extreme Scenes at the Encampment
Several extreme incidents have been recorded at the encampment on the Washington D.C. campus, including the removal of the American flag and its replacement with a Palestinian one. The encampment has been ongoing for 11 days. University President Ellen Granberg has admitted that the university is not equipped to manage the situation and has called for full support from GW’s partners and D.C. officials.
University's Efforts to End Encampment Failed
Granberg stated that all attempts to end the encampment or deter protesters have been unsuccessful. These attempts included discussions with students, local police assistance, and administrative consequences. She labeled the encampment as 'potentially dangerous' and no longer a student demonstration. Protesters have overrun barriers, vandalized university property, intimidated students with antisemitic images and hateful rhetoric, and disregarded GW Police Officers and university maintenance staff.
Mock Tribunal Calls for Execution
The Post Millennial reported on the guillotine video where a woman led the activists in chants calling for the execution of the Board of Trustees, GWU President Ellen Grandberg, and Provost Christopher Bracey. In the mock tribunal, the crowd found the accused "guilty" and called for their execution via guillotine.
Reaction to the Tribunal
Grayson Bakich, writing for PJ Media, argued that the tribunal took insanity to a new level. He pointed out that these students are the same ones who vandalized the statue of George Washington on campus with a keffiyeh, Palestinian flags, and anti-Israel stickers.
