Jewish groups are calling for the City University of New York’s law school to be defunded.
This after a graduation speaker delivered a scathing rebuke of Jews, the New York City Police Dept. and the United States.
Fatima Mohammed used her address to accuse Israel of murdering Palestinians and she celebrated resistance to Zionism around the world.
She also praised the university for allowing students to speak out against what she called Israeli colonialism.
“I want to celebrate CUNY Law as one of the few, if not the only law school to make a public statement defending the rights of its students to organize and speak out against Israeli settler colonialism,” Mohammed said from the podium.
Mohammed also called for a revolution to challenge oppressive institutions in America. And she blasted the NPYD and the U.S. military as fascists.

Former Rep. Lee Zeldin (R-NY) said raging antisemitism has consumed the university. He called for the immediate defunding of the law school.
“Raging antisemitism has fully consumed the City University of New York. Until the administration is overhauled and all Jewish students and faculty are welcome again, taxpayer funding must be immediately halted,” Zeldin tweeted.
“This is exactly why I am finalizing legislation to strip universities of their funding if they engage in and promote anti-semitism,” Rep. Mike Lawler (R-NY) said. “CUNY should be ashamed of itself — and should lose any federal funds it currently receives.”
Even Democrats were repulsed by the un-American hate speech.
“Imagine being so crazed by hatred for Israel as a Jewish State that you make it the subject of your commencement speech at a law school graduation,” Rep. Ritchie Torres (D-NY) said. “Anti-Israel derangement syndrome at work.”
New York City Councilwoman Inna Vernikov was astonished that the university allowed Mohammed to deliver the anti-Jewish screed.
“If anyone had doubts on what’s going on at @CUNY, and if hearing we held did not convince you, here it is: Vile, unabashed hatred for America, Israel, NYPD, & democracy,” she tweeted. “I can’t imagine sitting in the audience as a graduate. These are NYC’s future lawyers.”
Mohammed is originally from Yemen. Congress should launch an investigation to determine how an anti-American, Jew-hater was allowed to set foot on American soil. And if our nation is as bad as she said in her address, maybe she would be much more comfortable back in Yemen.
