The Troubling Pro-Terror Ties of DC-Area University Students
19th December 2024
Is the Northern Virginia campus of George Mason University cultivating a nest of anti-Israel and antisemitic terrorist supporters a half-hour’s drive from the nation’s capital? News reports that three of its students, all of Middle Eastern origin, have had recent run-ins with the police over weapons and pro-terror material are troubling, to say the least.
Two of the students are Palestinian American sisters and leaders in the school’s chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine, one of the main organizers of the protests, riots, and encampments at George Mason, Columbia, and other universities over the past year. The raid of their home, which turned up guns, ammunition, and antisemitic and anti-American “hate” material, has been reported on for a few days, though the legacy media has been downplaying the story.
But it has also emerged overnight that another George Mason University student, an Egyptian national named Abdullah Ezzeldin Taha Mohamed Hassan, was arrested in December for, according to the charging papers, “distribution of information relating to explosives, destructive devices, and weapons of mass destruction in furtherance of the commission of a federal crime of violence” to an FBI informant.
