Many Drexel University students will be virtual again Wednesday as a pro-Palestine encampment enters its 4th day despite repeated calls from the university to disband. Members of the Drexel Palestine Coalition held a solidarity rally at Korman Quad on Drexel's campus Tuesday where protestors set up an encampment Saturday night. Waving Palestine's flag and chanting ‘free Palestine,’ the demonstrators say they are not going to back down.
Jacob Bloom, a fourth year Jewish student, says he doesn’t like what’s happening in Gaza either, but "I don't feel like I could walk in there and be met with open arms and peace and have an actual conversation with like educated people on the issue."RELATED COVERAGE: Bloom also said that the university’s decision to scale back in-person classes and activities is tough on students.
