George Mason University Professors Demand End to Pro-Hamas Activity on Campus
“The professors ask the president to denounce masked pro-terrorist demonstrations on campus and enforce a no-mask policy on campus, per Virginia law.”
For anyone who has not been following along, there have been not one but two shocking incidents at this school recently.

EXCLUSIVE: George Mason Professors Demand End to Pro-Hamas Activity
Almost 20 professors at George Mason University’s Antonin Scalia Law School sent a letter urging the school’s president to crack down on pro-Hamas, anti-Israel activity in the student body.
Three GMU students of Middle Eastern origin have had recent run-ins with the police over weapons and pro-terror materials, The Daily Signal previously reported.
Two of the students are Palestinian American sisters and leaders in the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, one of the main organizers of the protests, riots, and encampments at George Mason, Columbia, and other universities over the past year. A raid of their home uncovered guns, ammunition, and antisemitic and anti-American “hate” material.
Another George Mason University student, an Egyptian national named Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, was arrested in December for “distribution of information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction in furtherance of the commission of a federal crime of violence” to an FBI informant, according to the charging papers.
The 16 professors sent GMU’s president, Gregory Washington, an emailed letter calling him to show “at least as much concern for antisemitic rhetoric, intimidation, and violence on and off campus as you have about other public issues.”
“It would be very nice and indeed useful right now to be able to tell colleagues, friends, and reporters who are inquiring that the university administration has done everything it could to disassociate itself from those who have been fomenting antisemitic, pro-terrorist sentiment on campus,” the message says, “but we both know that would be false.”
The professors say that GMU’s administration can no longer treat “overt pro-terrorist organizing at GMU as solely a matter of freedom of speech” when three students have been implicated in potential domestic terrorism.
The professors ask the president to denounce masked pro-terrorist demonstrations on campus and enforce a no-mask policy on campus, per Virginia law.
“You consistently declined to do the former, and the latter was only done in a desultory manner, and only upon the insistence of the state’s attorney general,” the letter says.

GMU’s law school in a bastion of conservatism, while much of the rest of the university is beholden to the local muzzie population, When our son began law school there 20 years ago, he first lived in Falls Church, which should have been renamed Falls Mosque, with a highway a straight shot to the Pentagon. Quite unnerving in those post 9/11 days.
