(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.

You already knew one of the Dolphins’ biggest 2024 opponents before Wednesday’s schedule release — road games. The Dolphins’ success or failure on the road will go a long way toward determining their success or failure for the 2024 season. And if we go by past performances, it doesn’t look good. Miami was 4-5 (.444) on the road last season, including the playoffs. Miami is 7-12 (.368) on the road the last two seasons, including the playoffs. The Dolphins, who were 1-6 against playoff teams in 2023, have nine road games in 2024, and five are against opponents that made the playoffs in 2023. But have no fear. The Dolphins, given reasonable health, might be able to meet this challenge. Here’s the simplified formula for success this season: go 5-4 on the road, or better. In that scenario, if the Dolphins do their normal thing at home (they’re 13-4 at home the last two years, which is a .765 winning percentage), they’d win six of their eight home games and finish the season with 11 wins, likely good enough for a playoff berth, such as last season. Do one game better at home, meaning seven wins at Hard Rock Stadium, and you win 12 games and likely get a home playoff game. That’s the golden ticket.

By MOLLY QUELL (Associated Press) THE HAGUE (AP) — South Africa told the United Nations’ top court on Thursday the situation in Gaza has reached “a new and horrific stage” as it sought emergency measures to halt Israel’s military operation in the enclave’s southern city of Rafah. It was the third time the International Court of Justice held hearings on the conflict in Gaza since South Africa filed proceedings at The Hague-based court in December accusing Israel of genocide. “Seven months ago South Africa could not have imagined that Gaza would be largely wiped off the map,” the country’s ambassador to the Netherlands, Vusimuzi Madonsela, told the panel of 15 international judges Thursday. During hearings earlier this year, Israel strongly denied committing genocide in Gaza, saying it does all it can to spare civilians and is only targeting Hamas fighters.
