Calls to Defund CUNY Law Grow After Anti-Israel Commencement Speech

Pro-Israel groups and Jewish allies are calling for the City University of New York's (CUNY) 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. The speech also attacked the "fascist" NYPD and U.S. military, claimed laws are "white supremacy," and called for the dismantling of capitalism. Jewish groups and allies widely condemned the speech, with some accusing the speaker of "trading in antisemitic tropes" while others demanded CUNY Law lose its taxpayer funding for hosting the event.

Controversial Commencement Speech at CUNY Law School Sparks Outrage.

A graduate speaking at the City University of New York’s law school commencement called for a “revolution” to take on the legal system’s “white supremacy’’ and ripped the “fascist” NYPD, military and Israel. Future lawyer Fatima Mousa Mohammed, a Queens native who was selected by the graduating 2023 class to speak during the May 12 ceremony, praised CUNY for supporting student activism — but said the school still failed students by supporting such institutions as the city’s Police Department and country’s armed forces. CUNY Law initially removed Mohammed’s fiery speech from YouTube, but it was later uploaded again after critics chided the public law school for silencing Mohammed, who also ripped Israel over its treatment of Palestinians.
