Only 6 of the 33 Arrested at George Washington U. Were Students
Outside agitators. What a shock.
As if we needed more proof the college mobs aren’t grassroots.
The Washington Post reported that six of the 33 arrested at the George Washington University anti-Israel encampment are students:
All of those arrested — 29 on charges of unlawful entry and four on charges of assaulting police — were given criminal citations and released, according to authorities. They will have to appear in court at a later date, and they did not go through a formal booking process. The charges are misdemeanors.
Police said 25 of the people arrested are female, including a 17-year-old from Silver Spring, Md. Most of the adults are ages 19 to 23. According to social media posts, six of the people arrested attend Georgetown University, about a mile and a half from GWU. A spokeswoman for Georgetown could not immediately confirm that number.
The Washington Post reached three of the people arrested, and they declined to comment. University officials have asserted that outsiders co-opted the nearly two-week campus demonstration protesting the Israel-Gaza war and demanding that the school sever ties with the Jewish state. Police said that many people left when dispersal warnings were given before the arrests, so a precise breakdown of participants could not be determined.
The mob has already returned to GWU.
In New York City, over half of those arrested at Columbia and The City College of New York aren’t students.
Police arrested 282 people between the two schools, 112 at Columbia and 170 at CCNY.
I wonder how many non-students police arrested at other universities.
We saw professional agitator Lisa Fithian at Columbia.
Groups at the center: Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Jewish Voice for Peace, IfNotNow, and Within Our Lifetime.
We need Glenn Beck’s chalkboard for this information, especially when he dissected the Tides Foundation. That foundation receives a ton of money from George Soros, but also the Pritzker family. Yes, the family in charge of Illinois right now. Totes shocked!!
Jewish Voice for Peace and IfNotNow gets a lot of funds from the Tides Foundation.
SJP and Within Our Lifetime get money from the Westchester Peace Action Committee Foundation (WESPAC). I cannot find much on its funding, but Soros has given it money:
So, who’s paying for the tents, the food and everything else for these summer soldiers for Hamas? We may never know. That’s because of a tax code loophole called “fiscal sponsorship.” Ragtag activist groups can raise money through tax-deductible donations without having to register with the IRS if a larger nonprofit shares its 501(c)(3) tax status with them. Donors get a tax write-off for sending money through the larger organization. The rerouting of money makes it impossible to connect the dots through the spider web from donor to donee.
The U.S. Palestinian Community Network and Within Our Lifetime are examples. They’re both the beneficiaries of money moving through a New York charity called the Westchester People’s Action Coalition Foundation. That organization won’t say publicly whose cash came from where. But it’s dark money, and it funds powder kegs where masked 19-year-olds pretend to demand a revolution alongside masked adults who want the real thing.
See? Wherever you go, it goes back to the Tides Foundation.
According to The Washington Times, The Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy discovered that those groups move around $3 million yearly.
It’s also the same people who funded Occupy Wall Street.
The Times of Israel provided more information about Wespac:
Recent donors to Wespac include the Elias Foundation, a progressive advocacy group that has also funded Jewish Voice for Peace; the environmental group Grassroots International; and the Virginia-based philanthropy group the Kiblawi Foundation. The Sparkplug Foundation, a New York nonprofit, reported that it had donated $20,000 to “National Students for Justice” through Wespac in 2022, and California’s Bafrayung Fund contributed $20,000 that year to the Palestinian Youth Movement via Wespac. Several donor-advised funds have also contributed to Wespac recently.

You don’t say…
How many are now multiple arrestees in this flurry of demonstrations/riots?
How many have records that include arrests in multiple cities/states for such activities? You might want to keep those in a special file marked “Cadre” and promulgate it widely.
How many walked across the southern border?
If only there were a cross-state — call it a Federal Bureau, to find out about — call it Investigate, organized groups inside the US calling for its destruction; calling for violence for political ends. You know, like parents attending school board meetings, traditionalist Catholics, people who talk mean about Brandon.
Perhaps track groups rioting, threatening and beating minorities, holding janitors within the buildings the clean.
If only there were some way…
It doesn’t say only 6 are students. It’s says 6 attend a different school.
AU has too large a Jewish population, Georgetown’s neighbors have too much money and clout, so GW seems to have been a good consensus pick for where to have their little camp out without repercussions.
Back in 2018 I spoke directly with the political leader of a wider Bay Area Antifa group. He told me cash money came direct from wealthy Silicon Valley types – none of it connected or traceable to charity groups or tax write offs.
How about canceling nonprofit status?
Now might be a good time to remember the final chapter of the Mohammad Cartoon (Cartoon Wars) episode in Afghanistan. A series of cartoons labelled Mohammad were published in Denmark, then world-wide to no big reaction. This angered some Islamists, so they did an indignation tour, honed their story, added other cartoons, and eventually whipped up some indignation.
There were demonstrations in Afghanistan, a shooting, and a riot.
And the local mullahs shut it down, declaring the peaceful demonstration had been hijacked by outsiders.
And their decision put an end to that episode in Afghanistan.
We can do that, too.
Where are you getting that from? The report you quote says that six of them were Georgetown students, i.e. not GWU students. It doesn’t say how many were GWU students.
How many DIDN’T get arrested?? How many were in the large crowds chanting “Death to Israel, Death to America??”
Is it OK now to shout “Death to Islam?” Or “Death to Palestine?” Or “Death to Gaza?”
Or is it still too early for that?
Asking for a friend.
Whatever you need to get your jollies.
My bet? You would be person who would turn in your neighbors if they did t follow every diktat from your overlords. In 1938, you would have been the one to notify the Gestapo.
Today, you would turn in anyone who didn’t follow Sharia Law.
Don’t be so proud of yourself.
It’s always been legal to shout those things. You can’t get arrested for it, anywhere in the USA.
He didn’t ask if it was “legal,” he asked, tongue in cheek, if it was “OK.”
I think we all know the answer to that.
Since it was a reply to a question about how many people shouting “Death to Israel, Death to America” didn’t get arrested, it’s obvious that “OK” meant “legal”. Because if it meant “morally OK” it’s a complete nonsequitur. Nobody suggested that it was morally OK to shout Death to America, so why ask about Death to Islam? But it is legally OK to shout both things. You can’t get arrested for either one, which explains completely why people who were only shouting were not arrested.
No, in this context, “OK” meant politically acceptable, in that you will not be persecuted for doing so… unlike people who simply made the OK sign with their fingers, even accidentally.
It’s impossible for it to have meant that, because if it did then it would not be responsive to the question: “How many DIDN’T get arrested”, despite their having chanted “Death to” Israel and America.
It also can’t have meant that, because “Death to” Israel and America are not politically acceptable, any more than “Death to Islam” is politically acceptable. There are political consequences for each of those chants; the Occupy Campus mob simply doesn’t care about those, because their game is not politics, it’s insurrection.
WRONG!
disorderly conduct is used as the law to stop pro american speech
saw it pick up during the 2008 primaries where any shout outs against obama and the “criminals” to be were threatened with the dis orderly if they didnt stop
Philadelphia Police Sgt. Ray Evers told WND the man, whose name was not released, was arrested for disorderly conduct
“He was causing large crowds to form around him,” Evers said, adding that he also “was not listening to police commands.”
“He was asked several times to leave the area,” the sergeant said. “He refused several commands from police to leave the area.”
The crowd circles the man, chanting, “Oh-Bah-Mah! Oh-Bah-Mah!”
“This man was arrested for going into a crowd of Obama supporters post-election wearing a John McCain-Sarah Palin T-shirt,” the audio explains. “The officers asked him to leave, he refused … then he was assaulted by officers. Now he’s being put into a patrol car.
“This is what we can expect, no freedom of speech,” the narrator comments.
No, it isn’t. WND as a source?! ROFL. Joseph Farah jumped the shark at least 20 years ago.
How much is your hourly, counsel?
@Milhouse. No. It is pretty clear that the poster was NOT asking if it was “legal.”
As usual, your nature precludes any ability whatever to get outside your innate pedanticism.
You can’t be serious. There is no other possible meaning to asking why someone hasn’t been arrested. Being subject to arrest depends entirely on the legality of what you’re doing, not on its political or moral acceptability.
Correct.
I got the expected responses from two people as I thought.
27 weren’t students. What right did they have to be on the campus property? Trespassers should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
First of all, the headline is not supported by its source. We don’t know how many of them were GWU students. All we know is that at least six weren’t.
As for those who weren’t, in general everyone is welcome on a university campus, so in normal circumstances they would not be trespassers. In this case they were all trespassers, both those who were students there and those who weren’t, because the university had specifically told them to leave.
“in general everyone is welcome on a university campus”
False.
True. It’s a public place. Sometimes it even qualifies as a traditional public forum. But in this case all of them were told to leave, so there’s no difference between students and others, they were all trespassers.
“True.”
Repeating it doesn’t make it so.
Been to a U campus lately? Theoretically allowed access under some broad law, is a far piece from allowed access by the administration policy and their
enforcerssecurity. Let alone “welcome.”Yes, I have, and never saw any security, let alone anyone checking ID.
Which campus checks ID on entry, and only allows staff and students onto its grounds?
No TSA-style cavity searches counts as “welcome” and “public?”
What curious standards you have.
Yes. I walked on to the campus, wandered around the grounds, nobody said anything and there was nothing to indicate that I shouldn’t do so. It’s a public place. And I’ve done this at multiple campuses, never seen anything to indicate that I was not welcome there as a member of the general public.
This is being used as a defense of sorts by lefty
we dont care if its students or not
nazicommunistthuggs are all the same
27 from outside (33 less 6). Only 27. ‘I’m always happy when I can link to some of Brian Blessed’s work; Caesar in I Claudius just makes it better.

It’s all wonderful, but see 1:27, and 1:40.
No, not 27 from outside. At most 27 from inside. We don’t know how many were GWU students; all we’re told is that six were not. Presumably some, perhaps even all, of the other 27 were also not, but we don’t know.
