Colleges are trying to navigate balancing campus safety and free speech as rhetoric around the conflict heats up.<\/p>\n<p>A few weeks ago, pro-Palestinian students at George Washington (GW) University garnered national attention and backlash for anti-Israel messages they projected on one of the school\u2019s libraries. The messages, projected by the student group Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), included \u201cDivestment from Zionist genocide now\u201d and \u201cFree Palestine From the River to the Sea.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese are genocidal messages displayed on a building at George Washington University.
