George Washington Police Quickly Cut Down Palestine Flag Raised By Anti-Israel Protestors

Like many American college campuses that are nestled directly in ultra-left-wing territory, George Washington University is over-run with anti-Israel, pro-Hamas and anti-American protestors. But when a group of demonstrators tried to fly a Palestine flag on campus, university police immediately stepped in.

In a video posted to X (formerly Twitter), police can be seen cutting down the flag while demonstrators chant in Arabic and try to keep them from removing the flag.

Some of the demonstrators try to play victim to set up their later claims of police brutality, claiming that the police are hurting them. An officer calmly responds, "I'm not hurting anyone." 

That same officer asks if he can cut the rope, and another officer tells him to go ahead. That officer then joins the first officer and says to one of the protesters, "If I fall, you're getting f***ing arrested, I can tell you that right now." 

This is how you deal with these people: 

Of course, they quickly jumped into victim and propaganda mode immediately after this encounter, claiming that police pulled a knife on them. Yes, they did. To cut down a Palestinian flag which does not belong on the campus of GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY. 

It's good to see the university and university police stepping in to stop some of the nonsense, but the responsibility doesn't fall solely upon them. 

OutKick founder Clay Travis, a graduate of George Washington University, placed the blame for these protests continuing squarely on the mayor of Washington, D.C., Muriel Bowser. 

"The failure of Washington, D.C.’s mayor to clear out these squatters despite the request of GW’s president to do so is absolutely indefensible," Travis said. 

It's important to note that these are University Police and not Washington, D.C. police. George Washington's administration has requested that D.C. police remove the squatters, but they have refused at the request of the mayor. 

That's exactly how you DON'T deal with these people. Two very conflicting responses, and one of them is clearly correct. It's not hard to tell the difference.
