Another CUNY law-school graduation devolved into an anti-Israel demonstration last week when some newly minted grads used the stage to protest the Jewish state.

Some of the new graduates held up signs after getting their diplomas, according to social-media footage.

“CUNY divest from genocide NOW,” a sign said — while someone else held up a poster that called for no school tuition to go toward “Israeli crimes.”

Another sign read, “Jews against genocide.”

Others held up Palestinian flags during the demonstration, which was first reported by Jewish Breaking News.

The anti-Israel protest was the latest to break out at the school.

The law school in Long Island City, Queens, has been at the center of a virulent anti-Israel campaign in the wake of the Palestinian terror group Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, attacks on Israel that prompted the Gaza war.

The school previously faced significant blowback after CUNY Law grad Fatima Mousa Mohammed‘s commencement “hate” speech in 2023, which attacked Israel and the NYPD.

In response, the school canceled student speakersthenext year.

Graduates in 2025 then boycotted their commencement, walking out to launch a pro-Palestine demonstration, where Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s current top legal adviser, Ramzi Kassem, addressed the crowd.
