Anti-Israel organizers at George Washington University issue new demand as campus takeover reaches 13th day
Fox News
Anti-Israel agitators at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., have repeated a demand for the school not to call the MPD to clear their encampment.
The raucous crowd are demanding that the university divest itself of all companies that trade with Israel, as well as reveal all the university's investment information to students — and now, they do not want the university to call D.C.'s Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) to clear the encampment.
"We are very disciplined and organized. We’ve instructed all of our participants not to engage with agitators. Not to engage with police," student organizer Reem Lababdi told 7News. "We have a peaceful study. We have political education. We have religious services. There is absolutely no reason for MPD to get involved."
