Students are facing unsafe conditions at the University of Pennsylvania because of hostility and escalations by anti-Israel encampment activists and the failure of the administration to address them, UPenn student Eyal Yakoby told The Jerusalem Post on Friday.
“I know I’m unsafe,” said Yakoby, a senior studying political science and Middle East studies. “I know that they plan to escalate.”
Yakoby published on social media on Monday what he claimed was an internal encampment document in which activists were advised to “be prepared to escalate your actions” and to build defenses and barricades. Fox News reported on Friday that they had obtained multiple activist guides such as Flood the Gates: Escalate and Do-It-Yourself Occupation Guide 2024 which explain how to create barriers and shields. Yakoby shared on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday that a protester had brought a slingshot and switchblade into the encampment.
“It has been frustrating to see the media report as though these encampments are peaceful,” said Yakoby. “How much more documentation and videos need to be released?”
