Anti-Israel protestors are met with resistance from GWU students, who warn faculty of indoctrinating kids with 'lies and hate'.
Sabrina Soffer, a student, argued on Sunday that the issue is not exclusive to Jews, but is an American problem.
George Washington University students are becoming increasingly frustrated with the ongoing anti-Israel protests on college campuses.
Richard Li, a GWU student who escaped religious persecution as a Christian in China at 12 years old, is now standing up for his threatened Jewish classmates.
At least seven George Washington University students were suspended for organizing an anti-Israel protest that lasted three days on campus. One protester gained viral attention by declaring that the group would not leave, even after 57 hours.

After Columbia University's disruptive anti-Israel protests gained attention, there was a sudden increase in on-campus encampments in American universities.
The university announced that classes will be held virtually or in hybrid format until the end of the semester due to the protests and disruptions on campus. This decision has raised questions about tuition refunds since students are not attending classes full-time.
Nearly $90,000 is the estimated cost for undergraduate students to attend Columbia University in the 2023-2024 academic year.
Sabrina Soffer, a George Washington University student, and her classmate Richard Li appeared on "Fox & Friends Weekend" to discuss the impact of protests on Jewish students. They explained that it is challenging to go a minute without hearing political chants or being confronted by fellow students.
Soffer stated on Sunday that this has been going on for an excessive amount of time, with it taking 20 years to develop.
"Two years ago, I was threatened by the same type of students. At first, I didn't feel safe, and I was really scared. One night, I was shaking in my bed at midnight because I heard that some students were after me, and I was really afraid of what to do."
Soffer contended that the issue is not exclusive to Jews, but rather an American problem, as those protesting against Jews are also targeting American values. He attributed the root of the problem to the faculty, who are indoctrinating students with anti-Israel lies and hate. According to Soffer, this is where the problem originates and must be resolved.
Li asserted that Marxists and socialists have been influencing the U.S. education system for the past decade.
Li warned that the schools have not taken any action to address the indoctrination of a generation of Americans who are now essentially communists and antisemitic, as many instructors are themselves involved in anti-Semitic protests and are participating in them.
