A commencement speech from a student at CUNY's law school is being slammed as antisemitic as pro-Israel groups and allies demand the school be stripped of public funding.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg warned against antisemitism in the US becoming more overt. "Not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking but standing proud..."public law school to lose its funding after a graduating student accused Israel of"indiscriminately raining bullets and bombs" on Palestinians during her commencement speech. She also claimed laws are"white supremacy" and attacked the"fascist" NYPD and U.S. military.
"And," the future lawyer continued,"we did all of this in spite of the racism, in spite of the selective activism the self-serving interests of CUNY central, an institution that continues to fail us, that continues to train and cooperate with the fascist NYPD, the military, that continues to train IDF soldiers to carry out that same violence globally…"In another part of her speech, Mohammed, who also called for a"revolution" to challenge"oppressive"...
"Graduations should be a place for all — not a time to denigrate students’ identities," The Anti-Defamation League wrote earlier this month while retweeting the JCRC of New York."We are appalled to see such an egregious display of hostility toward ‘Zionists’ and Israel in CUNY Law’s commencement address. This is yet another example of the harm Jewish students experience on campus.
SAFE CUNY, a group that advocates for Zionist Jews within the CUNY system, shared the entire 13-minute-long video of Mohammed's speech on Twitter. "Vile anti-American & anti-Israel speech promoting hate," New York City Council Member Ari Kagan tweeted in response to a user wondering,"How is the education at @CUNY @CUNYLaw different than Hamas? @CUNY @CUNYLaw is dependent on State & Federal taxes. We must divest now."
American-Israeli journalist Emily Schrader responded,"'Hey Siri, show me what obsessive antisemitism looks like.' Siri: *plays Fatima Mohammed’s lie-ridden CUNY law commencement speech* This is an embarrassment to CUNY and their funding should be pulled. CUNY emboldens violent Jew hatred that should never be tolerated," she wrote.
