Anti-Israel Protesters Disrupt Senior Convocation at Georgetown U.
“Groves, Groves, you can’t hide! We can see your greedy side!”
These people think that everything is all about them, all the time.

Georgetown U. anti-Israel protesters disrupt senior convocation
Approximately 25 student protesters interrupted the Georgetown University senior convocation last Thursday to demand divestment from Israel, a “living wage” for workers, and denial of campus access to U.S. immigration officials.
According to The Hoya, the activists started yelling during interim President Robert Groves’ speech (which can be heard here beginning at the 1:46.58 mark), were escorted out by campus police, and then resumed their protest at the entrance to the event.
The activists had begun by shouting “Groves, Groves, you can’t hide! We can see your greedy side!” The Georgetown Voice reports.
Student Natalie Gustin, a culture & politics major with a minor in disability studies, expressed “disappointment” at university officials’ “response to student activism” during her years at Georgetown.
“That’s not a university that I’m proud of,” Gustin (pictured) told the Hoya. “Robert Groves does not deserve my respect. He does not deserve me listening to him speak while he has refused to listen to us speak.”
Gustin, who said she’s learned from disability studies experts about the “systems of oppression continuously perpetrated by capitalist and imperialist Western system,” added “we walked out because the university chooses profit over people, and we’re here for people over profit.”
Anna Broderick, a member of Students for Justice in Palestine and Georgetown’s Coalition for Workers’ Rights, said “students walked out of [Groves’] speech to show [they] are completely against all the exploitation and the complicity in genocide that he has facilitated during his time as interim president,” according the Voice report.
Student Fiona Naughton said Georgetown “is the encapsulation of the ongoing support of the American imperial project,” and added she “didn’t want to see President Groves accept a check… when our university […] grows his salaries paid through the active genocide of the people of Gaza.

Well, at least they’ve got the buzzwords down. Did they learn anything else?
There is an actual active genocide in the Sudan right now. But these brain dead bigots with their over priced degrees in “anti-imperialism” could care less. Because after all their Qatari based curriculum didn’t leave them equipped to even find Sudan on a map or comprehend anything other than Jew hatred.
“Student Natalie Gustin, a culture & politics major with a minor in disability studies…”
Now, THERE is a birthing-person with a lucrative future!
yeah,, they left out this part:
Natalie (she/her) is a senior in the School of Foreign Service, studying Culture & Politics with a concentration in Disability in Revolutionary Movements, with minors in Disability Studies and Arabic.
The jokes write themselves.
Hope they all majored in the Mickey Mouse courses that qualify them to man the cash registers ar Target. Apparently all they got out of Georgetown was higher indoctrination not higher education.
“Gustin, who said she’s learned from disability studies experts about the “systems of oppression continuously perpetrated by capitalist and imperialist Western system,”
Because who better to learn economics from than “disability studies experts.”
