GMU has referred the video, which calls for a "full liberation of Palestine from the river to the sea," to the state's attorney general.
The Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at George Mason University recently posted a terrorist-style recruitment video to its Instagram account after the public research institution in Fairfax, Va., reinstated the anti-Israel group following a suspension.
In the video published on Aug. 24, a masked, keffiyeh-wearing activist using a voice modifier parrots Hamas talking points, saying into the camera that, “Over the past two years, the genocidal Zionist state of Israel has systematically bombarded, assaulted and starved the noble people of Gaza in an attempt to break their very spirit. Gazans are now in abject famine, with the U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation weaponizing hunger and subjecting men and women to endless cruelty.”
The SJP member refers to the United States as the “belly of the beast” and “occupied Turtle Island,” an indigenous term for North America. He accuses academic institutions, including GMU, of “serving the U.S. war machine” and repressing pro-Palestinian student activism.
