Protesters in GWU’s U-Yard have erected tents and displayed Palestinian flags at their encampment. They also defaced a statue of the campus' namesake, former President George Washington, with Palestinian iconography, which includes slamming "Free Palestine" stickers onto the statue.

"Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine, Guillotine" a person with a bullhorn could be heard chanting as other demonstrators joined in.
