After the Oct. 7 massacre, the worst since the Holocaust to befall the Jewish people, CUNY Law’s graduation ceremonies have turned into anti-Israel platforms in which students wave Palestinian flags and signs and chant pro-Gaza slogans.

Thursday’s graduation ceremony was no different. As each student walked on stage, they held up to the audience Palestinian flags and signs with slogans such as “CUNY DIVEST FROM GENOCIDE NOW!,” “JEWS AGAINST GENOCIDE,” “SILENCE = DEATH” and “NONE OF OUR TUITION FOR ISRAEL’S CRIMES.” On the other hand, no American flags were visible.

In the short video clip posted online illustrating this moment, not a single student veered from the terror-supporting script, while the audience whooped and cheered and clapped.

At CUNY Law’s first graduation ceremony following Oct. 7, a student speaker used her platform to heavily criticize Israel. After fierce backlash from then-New York City Mayor Eric Adams and other public officials, the school condemned the talk as hate speech.

As a result of the controversy, CUNY stopped allowing students to deliver remarks at the graduation ceremony, prompting students to file a lawsuit alleging that CUNY was violating students’ free speech rights.
