THE SCROLL: New anti-Jew developments emerge at George Washington University

”The Scroll” is Campus Reform’s serial coverage of social media postings and debates that relate to liberal bias in higher education. 

George Washington University (GWU) has been in the news for weeks over pro-Hamas activism on its campus. On Wednesday, more developments emerged at the Washington, DC, school. 

On Wednesday, StopAntiSemitism confirmed the identity of one of the students who projected “Glory to the Martyrs” on the GWU library. Campus Reform reported on the Oct. 24 incident, which resulted in a police confrontation between officers and the group of students. 

 Lance Lokas was one of the students, according to StopAntisemitism.

Also on Wednesday, reports emerged that a truck run by the organization JewBelong was vandalized while on the GWU campus.

Seems like there are many Hamas-supporters on American campuses these days for some reason…
