At George Washington University, a significant protest has escalated into a contentious situation involving threats and demands for severe actions against university officials. The protesters, part of a Gaza Solidarity Encampment, have staged a 'People's Tribunal' and issued threats, including calls for the 'guillotine' for faculty and board members, and chants like 'Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine' and 'Off to the motherfucking gallows.' President Ellen Granberg described the protest as not being a peaceful First Amendment activity, noting its transformation into a more aggressive demonstration with antisemitic signs and chants. The university has responded by proposing an alternative site for the protest, involving the police, and setting up barriers, but the situation remains tense as the local authorities have been criticized for not intervening more forcefully.

We've seen antisemitic signs, chants & harassment near the @GWtweets encampment. Now we've witnessed what appears to be calls to violence. If chanting "Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine..." or "Off to the motherfucking gallows. doesn't raise serious alarm bells then what does? https://t.co/ktNgWatneK
