To the delight of Iran’s mullahs and their proxies, another pro-Palestinian (i.e., anti-Zionist/antisemitic) encampment popped up on a major college campus on Friday.
This time, it wasn’t in New York, New Haven or Cambridge but amidst the conservative bastion that is Southwest Virginia.
BREAKING: The Encampment at Virginia Tech appears to have taken down all of their tents, but activists are prepared to camp out in their sleeping bags in a partial encampment. They are counting this as a victory.

Hampton Roads’ WAVY-TV has the latest from Blacksburg:
As the current war in GAZA between Israel and Hamas-led Palestinian militant groups enters its seventh month, tensions at several universities here in the U.S. have steadily increased. Early morning on Friday, April 26, a group of protestors was reported to have gathered with signs and tents on the campus of Virginia Tech.
The university’s website states the event is currently being held by a small group of the “university community and others not affiliated with Virginia Tech” at the Graduate Life Center.
“University facilities are to be used in a manner consistent with their intended purpose. Priority of use must be given to those activities related to the mission of the university. The facilities must be used in a safe, professional manner so as not to endanger the university community or the public. The university may restrict access to land and buildings to protect individuals, property, and equipment. The facilities of the university are intended for the use of its students, faculty, staff, and guests participating in university-approved programs or activities, sponsored by or under the direction of the university or one of its related agencies or approved organizations.”
There were no reports of violence as of Friday evening.
Virginia Tech has made clear that noncompliance with university policy will not be tolerated. The administration will allow the protests to continue as long as they remain peaceful.
