Recently, anti-Israel agitators made a bold statement by projecting an image of President Biden over an American flag at GWU Law School's encampment in University Yard. This act followed the display of the American flag from Lisner Hall, which occurred after protesters draped a statue of President George Washington with the Palestinian flag.
The statue at George Washington University in Washington D.C. was further defaced with notes and stickers advocating for Palestinian liberation. Additionally, protesters adorned the statue with a keffiyeh, a symbol of Palestinian solidarity.
President Biden became a focal point of the protesters' discontent due to his unwavering support for Israel's right to self-defense following the Hamas terror attacks on October 7. The subsequent Israeli military campaign in Gaza aimed at eradicating Hamas resulted in numerous civilian casualties and sparked global criticism.
In response to the escalating tensions, President Biden condemned the violent anti-Israel demonstrations witnessed on college and university campuses, stressing that 'violent protest is not protected.'
