Press Conference for CUNY Students for Palestine

Press conference was held regarding the students of CUNY for Palestine in NYC at Columbus Park Pavilion on Thursday, September 5, at 1 PM. This was the first public statement made by the 28 students arrested at the pro-Palestine event at CUNY. Rabbi Yisroel Dovid Weiss addressed the press conference and told the media that the Zionist intimidation tactics aimed at accusing the students of hate crimes or labeling them as anti-Semitic are false Zionist propaganda. As Jews who support these students, we are pleading with leaders to drop the charges, which are a result of Zionist pressure.
