Fatima Mohammed’s speech at the City University of New York School of Law’s commencement ceremony on May 12 began with an acknowledgment of the challenges students faced during Covid and a shout-out to her mom. Her remarks then turned political, including a harsh critique of Israel — words that CUNY’s Board of Trustees called “hate speech” in a recently issued statement.
In her 12-minute speech, Mohammed stated that “Israel continues to indiscriminately rain bullets and bombs on worshipers, murdering the old, the young” and said that the state encourages “lynch mobs.” She praised CUNY’s law school as “one of the few, if not the only, law school ... defending the right of its students to speak out against Israeli settler colonialism.”

Oops, can't criticize Israel! Too much money floating around.
