Since the Hamas attacks on October 7th, Sonya Stacia has transitioned from a typical college junior at UPenn to an activist aligning her views with the US designated terrorist organization Hamas, chanting hateful slogans calling for ethnic cleansing and being a constant fixture at her campus’ unauthorized Pro-Palestinian encampment.
Background: Hamas Terrorist Attacks
On October 7, 2023, Hamas, a US-designated terrorist organization, launched a brutal attack on Israeli civilians, resulting in the deaths of over 1,200 people, with many more wounded and kidnapped. In response, Israel initiated Operation “Swords of Iron” to combat Hamas.
Sonya Stacia’s Actions and Statements
Most recently, Sonya has taken it upon herself to cause a great disturbance at a Board of Trustees meeting, when she interrupted Larry Jameson and spoke out against pro-Palestinian students being suspended from the school. She then stated the following, “The university cannot ignore us forever. They know what they are doing is wrong and they will have to take action.”
Conclusion
Sonya Stacia’s alarming embrace of extremist views and disruptive tactics at her university expose a troubling alignment with hatred, detracting from meaningful dialogue.
