President Joe Biden’s image was projected onto an American flag that was displayed on a building behind the encampment at George Washington University (GWU) in Washington, DC. The projection featured the words “Genocide Joe” alongside Biden’s face. This occurred on Friday afternoon, with the American flag being hung from Lisner Hall, an academic building situated behind the encampment.

The demonstrators present at the encampment were also vocal about their decision to rename the university’s U-Yard as “Shahada Square.”
