Pro-Israel protesters at George Washington University were asked to leave so that pro-Hamas protesters could have ‘their space’.

In the video a school official asks a woman holding an Israel flag, who is across the streets from a pro-Hamas encampment, was asked to leave. When someone protested that the encampment is there illegally, the official said they were being allowed to do it and then asked the woman to leave so the pro-Hamas protesters could have their space.

Here’s the tweet and text:

“My friend standing PEACEFULLY with an Israeli flag at GW across the street from students advocating for the eradication of Israel is told that she must leave while the encampment and protests have continued for 4 days. So yeah: let’s talk about free speech and freedom of expression. Somehow, for Jewish students, those rights don’t apply. Double standards, discrimination.”

 
She added another tweet saying the girl intends to stay there:

 
A NewsNation reporter said on Friday that the pro-Hamas encampment had both students and faculty. How in the world could Jewish students feel comfortable with faculty members chanting for their extermination???

 
Just yesterday, the DC mayor refused to allow police to go in and remove the encampment, calling it a peaceful protest. This was after the school said the protesters were trespassing:

At 3:00 AM on Saturday morning, Washington, D.C. police were lined up and prepared to enter the campus of George Washington University to clear anti-Israel protesters from a tent encampment they had built.

However, according to the Washington Post, the police got the order to stand down from their superiors. Two sources told the Post the cops were “worried about the optics of moving against a small number of peaceful protesters, according to two officials familiar with the talks.”

The office of Mayor Muriel Bowser was also involved in the decision for the cops to back off.

The Post reported that “city officials told their university counterparts they wanted to avoid images of violent altercations between police and protesters flashing across TV screens across the country.”

The university is on private property and the protesters have no right to be on it. The school refused to comment as did the D.C. police.

Meanwhile, the University has taken some action on its own. The school said in a statement on Friday night demonstrators “violated several university policies and were trespassing” and several students have been temporarily suspended. “The university also said that any student who remains in University Yard may be placed on temporary suspension and administratively barred from campus. Several students have already been notified of their suspensions.”
