On the third anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attack, news coverage reflects both the commemoration of survivors and the ongoing civil unrest regarding the Israel-Hamas war. While some reporting focuses on the personal testimony of those who escaped the festival massacre, other reports highlight large-scale student and faculty protests at New York City universities, where demonstrators called for divestment from Israel and debated the nature of the initial attack and the subsequent military response.
