Anti-Israel radicals at George Washington University’s pro-Hamas encampment call for the beheading of senior school administrators.

A group of radical pro-Hamas demonstrators gathered at a protest encampment on the George Washington University campus last week and called for the beheading of senior school administrators over their refusal to back anti-Israel protests.
Video footage published to social media this week shows demonstrators last Friday chanting “Guillotine, guillotine, guillotine, guillotine,” in reference to university President Ellen Granberg and other top college officials.
“As you already know where I am sending her [to the guillotine], her and her f**k*ss bob.”
Some other school administrators, including provost Christopher Alan Bracey, were threatened by name.
“Bracey, Bracey, we see you,” protesters chanted. “You assault students too. Off to the motherf**king gallows with you.”
Demonstrators held a mock trial to sentence the school’s administrators, and livestreamed the faux hearing via Instagram.
“On the accusations that [the Board of Trustees] have a vested interest in the genocide of the Palestinian people because they benefit from Zionist weapons and purchases that you refuse to divest apartheid while they fill pockets,” one protester leading the mock trial asked fellow demonstrators, “People find you.”
“Guilty!” the protesters responded.
“The the guillotine,” the faux judge shouted in return.
Written materials published by the radical left-wing Party for Socialism and Liberation (PSL) were posted around the area of the protest encampment at the school’s U-Yard.
School president Ellen Granberg issued a statement Sunday condemning the protesters and urging local police to intervene, saying the school was unable to restore order on its own.
“The demonstration, like many around the country, has grown into what can only be classified as an illegal and potentially dangerous occupation of GW property,” Gransberg said.
“It is also essential to highlight that at no point was this encampment lawful.”
As a university, we are not equipped to single-handedly manage an unprecedented situation such as this.”
Since the weekend, police have arrested at least 35 people, Washington police told Fox News, as the campus protests at GWU enter their 14th day.
