On the Pro-Genocide Rally at George Mason University
Reason ^ | 31 Oct 2023 | David Bernstein

Why didn't university president Gregory Washington speak up?

The Hamas massacre in Israel has revealed that the the DEI norms embraced by most American universities don't include protecting Jewish students from intimidation. Every day I hear new stories from friends about their college kids being threatened, ostracized, and bullied, because they object to the glorification of Hamas terrorists by other students. A good friend of mine, for example, has had to hire a civil rights attorney because other students in his daughter's program have taken to referring to her as "the little Jew bitch," and the program's administrators have not done anything about it.

At my own school, George Mason University president Gregory Washington has championed a variety of expensive, time-intensive, DEI measures. The goal, he wrote in an email to the university community in July 2023, is to ensure that "every student, faculty, and staff member is welcomed and respected as a full equal in this community of learning." He has, unfortunately, fallen far short of that lofty goal with regard to Jewish GMU students and faculty.

SJP then announced that it would be holding a rally on the university's main campus on October 12. In support of "the resistance," i.e., the perpetrators of the massacre, Hamas. SJP Mason also called for the destruction of the State of Israel, the "liberation of our homeland and our people, from the river to the sea. Show up and show out for Palestine, and let GMU know that we will rise against the occupation!" Moreover, SJP Mason suggested that students bring "face coverings or kuffiyehs" to hide their identities.

In short, SJP Mason was proudly organizing a pro-genocide rally, and, like other racist and antisemitic hate groups such as the KKK, sought to mask themselves.

Little terrorist wannabes... they should go over to Gaza if they really believe what they say. And the IDF will deal with them.

Reason Magazine is associated with Charles Koch.

That alone is reason enough not to read the article.

Maybe, just maybe, the blind hog rooted up an acorn. It does happen.

George Mason is a state university! Not Catholic though I imagine the same sort of nonsense is going on at CUA - Catholic University of America in DC.

You mean colleges are silent?

When it comes to white students, colleges actually have classes in which white students are compelled to apologize for their racism. To kneel before blacks as they did throughout 2020.

Where was the outcry when whites were targeted?

Lol. Rachael “Saint Pancake” Corrie threads had me in tears. Funniest threads in FR history. It all started when some leftist “maroon” decided to hold a vigil at I-hop for a lady who died after throwing herself in front on an Israeli bulldozer.

From what I recall her Palestinian pals kept her in front of the bulldozer and refused medical care so she could reach glorious martyrdom for the cause.

***after throwing herself in front on an Israeli bulldozer.****

Reminds me of the 1960s when a white anti-segregation preacher and his black flock threw themselves in front of a job site bulldozer. He threw himself behind the bulldozer too close to be seen and got run over when the machine operator backed away from those in front. Nice photo of what a bulldozer can do to you back then. If it had happened to Wiley Coyot’e we all would laugh but he really got sunk in the mud.

I would ask two questions: one, does the university receive funding from Qatar and Saudi Arabia? Two, how many full pay students are enrolled from the Middle East (excluding Israel)?

The answers to these questions will explain why the university administrators are reluctant to condemn Hamas

Sadly, Georgetown, a Jesuit school, is probably just as bad.

I did not know that. It used to be fairly conservative by common university standards.
