A library staffer at the University of Pennsylvania was caught tearing down fliers on campus of missing Israelis who were kidnapped during Hamas’ horrific attack on October 7th.
“Why are you tearing them down?” the person recording the video asks, to which the man replies, “Get the f— out of my face.”
From The New York Post:
As he crumples up the posters, the videographer tells him, “Innocent people were killed.”
“There were people killed in the hospital bombing,” he replied, referencing a deadly explosion at a Gaza hospital Tuesday night.
Officials in Gaza say the strike killed at least 500 Palestinians, while President Biden told Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that the US believes “the other team” was behind the deadly attack.
The man in the video was identified as Matthew Carson Wranovics, the library assistant for circulation at the University of Pennsylvania’s Carey Law School, by the Post Millennial.
Wranovics’ photograph was also apparently scrubbed from the university’s website following the incident, the outlet reported.
Penn Carey Law School spokesperson Meredith Rovine told The Post on Wednesday the incident was “a personnel matter that is being investigated.”
