Georgetown University Students Mourn Palestinian Deaths, Ignore Hamas Atrocities

Washington, D.C. — “On Saturday, our brothers and sisters in Gaza were attacked,” Georgetown University’s Muslim chaplain, Yayha Hendi told a group of pro-Palestinian Hoyas on Thursday evening.

Georgetown students hosted a pro-Hamas “martyr vigil,” to light candles for and recite the names of Palestinians who died in Gaza after Hamas ambushed Israel this weekend. Holding signs that read, “Free Palestine,” “Glory to our martyrs,” and “Solidarity forever,” the university’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) organization joined to “mourn and honor those who have been murdered by the occupation, and to stand in solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation.”
