Controversial Conference Causes Venue Changes and Safety Concerns in Texas

The Hilton hotel in Texas has canceled a conference organized by the US Campaign for Palestinian Rights (USCPR), citing safety concerns. The USCPR called the cancellation a violation of their First Amendment rights and accused Hilton of ethnic, racial, and religious discrimination. Hilton confirmed the cancellation, stating that the safety and security of their team members and guests is their top priority. The incident comes amid heightened tensions related to the Israel-Hamas war, with alleged crimes committed against both the Jewish and Muslim communities in the US.
