Penn student upset over university's handling of pro-Palestinian encampment

On Tuesday, a small group of counter-protesters was seen at the Gaza solidarity encampment on Penn's campus holding up signs of Israelis taken hostage by Hamas. It's something they say the pro-Palestinian demonstrators have not mentioned or shown in the nearly two weeks since the protest began.

Lillie Abella is one of many Jewish Penn students upset over the university's handling of the encampment. A protester reacted to Jameson's letter, saying, "We want the administration to drop the disciplinary actions they've taken against students. We want police out of the encampment."The university said it is focused on de-escalating and dialogue, but it fears some protesters want confrontation with authorities.
