In the days following Hamas's slaughter of innocent Israelis, a George Washington University professor under federal investigation for the mistreatment of Jewish students shared posts on her private Instagram account that describe Hamas terrorists as "martyrs" and endorse their "armed resistance."
The professor, Lara Sheehi, uploaded dozens of such posts in the days since Hamas's terrorist rampage in Israel, screenshots obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. In one of those posts, Sheehi praised a statement critical of "anyone condemning the Palestinians' armed resistance" and argued that the attacks were merely Hamas's response to "Israel's genocidal intent." In another, Sheehi expressed support for George Washington University's chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine. The group had described Hamas terrorists as "martyrs," a message Sheehi boosted. Sheehi also argued that Israelis were "NOT being killed for being Jewish" and blasted "Western media and politicians" for reporting that Hamas raped Israeli women.
