Cuny College Cancels Israeli Memorial Day Event Due To Protests

(New York Jewish Week) –  A branch of the City University of New York canceled an event organized by Hillel marking Israel’s Memorial Day, citing an anti-Israel protest and security concerns. The cancellation at Brooklyn’s Kingsborough Community College came following years of outspoken pro-Palestinian advocacy across the CUNY system that has ramped up since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas war, along with longstanding allegations by Jewish groups that its administrators do not do enough to protect Jewish students.
