NEW YORK (JTA) — New York University canceled an anti-Israel event disguised as an event about climate change.
The event, originally slated for May 4, was titled "The Hidden History of Zionism: The Road to Gaza’s Killing Fields," and its organizers promoted it with flyers around the campus that some decried as anti-Semitic, Ynet reported.
University officials confirmed the cancellation of the event but stressed it was because of its fraudulent nature.
