she has let down the city of washington, d.c. everybody believes in peaceful protests, but this is trespassing now. gw has asked for help to have the encampment removed because this is private property, and the mayor is weak in the face of foolishness and she won't do her job of enforcing the law in washington, d.c. we are calling on the mayor to step up and support the president and administration at george washington. all students deserve to be protected and deserve to have their voices heard but you cannot take over a university for your own end. none of you would let it happen to your own house; you would not let your house be overtaken by a group of people, you would call police. sir, i let you talk, calm down, i am talking now. it is no different on private property. mayor bowser needs to step up and lead for once in washington, d.c. and all the people and all the students here at gw. >> i graduated from george washington in 2006 and i went to law school here in 2010. this is sickening to see thousands of jewish students ma

by the washington monument. along the mall. at hains point. much has been done, but this has really been only a beginning. the activities of mrs. johnson and her committee were a jumping off point for washington and for the rest of the nation. they showed that in a time of complex urban crisis, functional, attractive surroundings can exist. bringing joy and new opportunities to city dwellers. for in the words of her husband, maintain a livable environment has now become one of america's greatest challenge. when mrs. johnson and mrs. lasker, there are many other hardworking colleagues put some playground equipment in the schoolyard when they improve some neighborhood parks, when they plant an avenue of flowering trees, then i think they're shovel out their shovels, dig deep into the future of this land, because those shovels, while digging deep, are really changing the lives of our children. these efforts are what history going to remember if by.

the university president begging the city of washington, d.c. police to come in and remove the trespassers and they are refusing to do so. i believe when the second week, it's 1414 days approaching of this violation of the law, of trespassers intimidation of jewish students, desecration of statutes, statute of george washington dressed as what appeared to me as hamas soldier. do i think it's the role of the department of education to ensure that these students lives are being protected and they are in a safe environment and from what i saw firsthand at george washington university i don't think that's the case especially for jewish students. i guess my question is will you commit to working with the university president and administrators who were begging thesee local law enforcement officials and i hate to say this but blue cities who are refusing for whatever reason to go in and remove the trespassers. will you commit to working with the university professors because they are reaching out asking for help from somewhere, the house oversight com

they do like george washington. everyone does, but they're not keen on what the federal government's been doing. intervening in their lives. they don't really pay their taxes much. they're sort of in a separate economy and away from what's going on in the rest of america. in the west, we grew more corn and rye here than, anywhere else in the new world. and because of that, most people who lived here were farmers. they farmed corn and they farmed rye. that's how they made their living. now, if you want to sell corn in the west, that's a difficult proposition because your neighbor is also trying to sell corn in the west. so you're not going to find a great market. so for these people, only option people who lived in western pennsylvania was to find a way to make their corn and rye easier to move right. more valuable. and the easiest way to do that was whiskey. whiskey for them was the the chief economic engine of here in western pennsylvania. one of the issues they faced here in the west was that they didn't have a lo

we are currently on the grounds of george's university of washington in washington, dc. accordingly, there are not only protesters from george washington university, students of george washington university, but also other educational institutions, universities and colleges around, such as georgetown university, american university, howard university and other, possibly smaller educational institutions. all of them state that they are advocating that their universities sever all ties with organizations that are in one way or another funded by israel or finance israel, and here i propose to listen to the participants of the protest themselves, what exactly they stand for, we suggest to listen to the direct language. we demand that pro-palestinian views be protected on campus, that all charges be dropped against pro-palestinian students, event organizers and organizations, and that the university immediately disclose all of its investments and funds. and then renounced all funds associated with the essentially zionist israel, as well as ending all academic partnerships wit

the university president was begging the city of washington, d.c. police to come in and remove the trespassers, and they are refusing to do so. i believe we are in the second week, it has almost been 14 days we are approaching the third week of this violation of the law, of trespassers, intimidation of jewish students, desecration of statues, the statute of george washington dressed as a hamas soldier, so i do think the department of education should bear some response ability. i think it is the role of the department of education to ensure that these students are being protected, that they are in a safe environment, and from what i saw firsthand george washington university, i don't think that is the case, especially for jewish students. i guess my question is will you commit to working with these university presidents and administrators who are begging these local law-enforcement officials and i hate to say this, but cities who are refusing for whatever reason to go in and remove the trespassers. will you commit to working with the professors beca
