There are growing calls for CUNY to lose its government funding after the commencement speech of a pro-Palestine, graduating student who used the floor to denigrate Israel, the NYPD, the US Armed Forces and local politicians after receiving her subsidized education.
Fatima Mousa Mohammed was chosen by her classmates as the 2023 commencement speaker at CUNY Law's graduation ceremony on May 12.
Her 13-minute-long speech has only now become public after CUNY uploaded it to YouTube. Initially, the school kept it private.
In her remarks, Mohammed - whose family is Yemeni but who grew up in Queens - called the NYPD 'fascist', accused NYC Mayor Eric Adams of endorsing 'murder', labeled the law a 'manifestation of white supremacy' and accused Israelis of 'settler colonialism'.
Her remarks sparked fury and fear among Jewish groups, who are now demanding to know why CUNY allowed such pro-Palestinian commentary at the commencement ceremony for a second year.
Last year's speaker, Nerdeen Kiswani, is also a pro-Palestine activist who used her remarks to comment on the conflict with similar vehemence.
'I have been been facing a campaign of Zionist harassment by well-funded organizations with ties to the Israeli government and military,' she said.
She then called a school-organized trip to Israel 'an affront to everyone at CUNY fighting for liberation.'
CUNY is yet to denounce either speech.
In a statement, a school spokesman said only that the commencement remarks reflected the students' views, but not the school's.

Pffftttt! Sounds like their check will get even bigger now!
When will the NY, NJ and LA Jews wake up and see the Democrat Party is not their friend. All the Dems want is your money...................
THAT will happen right after NYC people STOP ELECTING DEMOCRATS. I heard HELL would have to freeze over first. Enjoy the Suck NY. YOU voted for it.
They won’t.
They flee their Islamist shithole country and then immediately start mouthing off about how bad the USA is.
Kick this cretin out now!
CUNY won’t tell you the obvious.
That’d be cool.
Won’t happen.
But that’d be cool.
Why do you believe the Democratic Party is not their friend?
and where is Lipstadt, pray tell. she’s already on the hot seat for admin’s rejection of IHRA in Joe’s anti-semitism “strategy.” as usual the Left is a sell-out.
Right. Back to the paradise of Yemen.
Our law schools are now actively training individuals who hate this country, our Constitution, and everything about us. Nothing good will come of this.
Is there something wrong with a graduation speech that shouts “Death to the Jews”???
They are simply useful idiots. They follow in the footsteps of those who worshipped the Golden Calf.
The Dems hate God, Israel and everything it stands for. The fact that Israel even exists is proof the God exists, and that they cannot abide......................
The Democrats expand the public sector, where the children of the people you speak of can find employment with great benefits while they work to subvert the nation, often under color of law, and the Democrats are also leading the charge against the Main Enemy, filling the people you refer to with hope and pride.
The alliance is perfectly natural.
We’ll probably have to drone her someday.
Defund public education. We need to burn the village to save it.
Like the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks, the ‘alliance’ works well until the one side doesn’t need the other side any more...............
Another peaceful raghead killer calling for violence
My surprised face 😏
