A branch of the City University of New York (CUNY) canceled an event organized by Hillel this week, marking Israel’s Memorial Day, due to anti-Israel protests and security concerns for Jewish students. The event was intended to commemorate Israel’s Memorial Day but faced opposition and safety issues. Additionally, Kingsborough Community College and Baruch College also canceled two Hillel events for Israel Independence Day, citing similar safety concerns.
