FOGGY BOTTOM, DC — In the same neighborhood that holds the U.S. Department of State and its openly anti-Israel staffers in the nation’s capital, antisemitic students at The George Washington University established a Hamas Youth™ camp on Thursday similar to the one at Columbia University to champion barbaric terrorists in the Gaza Strip and call for an intifada to eliminate Israel and murder Jews.
Signs in the crowd made vile declarations such as “FINAL SOLUTION” while camped-out students chanted “there is only one resolution // intifada revolution” and “from the river to the sea Palestine will be free.”
By Thursday afternoon, the camp had some 20 tents, hundreds of student demonstrators, and a portable bathroom set up on GW’s University Yard. A statement from the university on Thursday morning stated that demonstrations were not allowed there and instructed the antisemitic students to move to another location on campus.

GW also said overnight encampments aren’t permitted and that demonstrators and their camp would be “required” to be gone by 7:00 p.m. Thursday.
Just a few feet from the antisemitic chants and calls for the elimination of Israel, a group of Jewish students turned out with Israeli flags to show solidarity with the State of Israel. One student, David, told Townhall that “everybody has a right to freedom of speech” but was clear-eyed about what the chants from the unpermitted occupying protestors meant. “When you call for the ‘intifada revolution,’ you’re calling for the destruction of the Jewish people worldwide. When you call ‘from the river to the sea,’ you’re calling for the destruction of the democratic state of Israel — but it’s not going to go anywhere.”
Calling the encampment “illegal,” David noted that the demonstrators were “not working with the university or the various police departments in the area” and said he was “afraid of this becoming agitated and aggravated” — a reasonable fear given the way similar antisemitic demonstrations have played out on other campuses…
