Is there something in the water at George Mason University? Police recently found guns, ammo, and pro-terrorist flags at the home of two students. Now, a different student at the school has been arrested for plotting an attack on the Israeli Consulate in New York City.
Is it time for Congress to look into what is being taught at this university?
What is going on at George Mason University?
First, police found weapons and terrorist propaganda in the home of two SJP leaders.

The New York Post reports:
George Mason freshman, 18, busted for plotting attack on Israel’s NYC consulate — as he was facing possible deportation
An 18-year-old freshman at George Mason University in Virginia was arrested Tuesday for allegedly plotting a mass casualty attack on Israel’s general consulate in New York City, which he described as “a goldmine of targets,” according to a report.
Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, an Egyptian national, was charged with one count of demonstrating how to manufacture an explosive with intent to murder internationally protected persons after allegedly instructing an undercover FBI agent in November to target the consulate with explosives, the Washington Post reported Thursday.
“Two options: lay havoc on them with an assault rifle or detonate a TATP [suicide] vest in the midst of them,” Hassan allegedly told the agent posing as a terrorist sympathizer on Nov. 27, prosecutors alleged in court documents obtained by the outlet.
Hassan, who had been facing deportation proceedings, was arrested by the FBI in Falls Church and subsequently banned from campus, according to the report.
The first-year college student has an extensive digital paper trail with social media accounts praising the Islamic State and Osama bin Laden and spreading terrorist and antisemitic propaganda, the FBI charging documents state.
He had been interviewed by the FBI previously in 2022 over his online ramblings spreading Islamic State messaging across the web but was not charged, according to the Washington Post.
If convicted, Hasan faces up to twenty years in prison, after which he will be deported.

The Daily Signal suggests that it’s time for action:
How exactly George Mason University—which actually has a conservative reputation despite its lavish spending on diversity, equity, and inclusion and other social justice programs that actively foment anti-Israel animus—has become a hotbed for anti-Israel and antisemitic terrorist supporters is difficult to say.
At the very least, Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin and the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce, to be headed by Rep. Tim Walberg, R-Mich., should start looking into why Students for Justice in Palestine and foreign nationals on student visas appear to be fomenting much of the belligerent activity we see on our college campuses today. More specifically, an investigation should begin into whether Students for Justice in Palestine is an abettor of terrorism and therefore deserves to be shut down.

I am stunned that a student holding an education visa from a Muslim country would do something like this. I bet none of them are engaged in the anti Israel “protests” either.
In the men’s room in the GMU Johnson Center is a foot washing station. It is a provision to accommodate Muslim students in their prayers. Likewise. The is a “silent meditation room”
Who authorized expenditures for a foot washing station which is obviously to support a single religion? Would the same person authorize construction of facilities to accommodate Jews or Christians? Was there something illegal here?
There is an awful lot of wishing for a purge or even a V for Vendetta event on social media. The bulk of it comes as “sponsored” which leaves me with a question and an admonition…who is funding the aggrivation of the unstable, and be careful with the wishes, as reality isn’t a movie.
So, the plan is to feed and house this creature in prison for 20 years and THEN send him back to Egypt?
I vote for the one-way plane ticket now, and let Egypt have him.
With our porous border, he could be back here in days if we simply deported him now.
Maybe we need to reconsider student visas.
“an Egyptian national” Why is that not surprising?
From his mugshot he appears to be a nice likable person who could probably get elected if he ran for some office in NYC.
Observation: the fine upstanding Egyptian has that same definant, ef-you facial expression seen I’m mugshots of blacks arrested for muggings or carjacking.
