Headline: She Attacked Israel and The N.Y.P. D. It Made Her Law School a Target
Sub-headline: A student gave a commencement address at the famously progressive CUNY law school. Two weeks later, she was attacked by the tabloids and the mayor, and the school disavowed her speech.

An excerpt of Fatima Mousa Mohammed speech, as ‘reported’ in The New Your Times:
She looked out into the audience now and saw “movement lawyers, business attorneys, professors, librarians,” she said. “I see future lawyers who will defend tenants and not those who dispossess our communities from their homes.” In these instances, her tone was optimistic and celebratory rather than indignant, though there was plenty of indignation.
“Let us remember that Gaza, just this week, has been bombed with the world watching,” she said at one point. “That daily, brown and Black men are being murdered by the state at Rikers.” She praised CUNY as “one of the very few legal institutions created to recognize that the law is a manifestation of white supremacy that continues to oppress and suppress people in this nation and around the world.”
As it happened, much of her commentary fell under the umbrella of conventional leftist rhetoric — the call to fight against capitalism, racism, imperialism — delivered with a zealotry not unfamiliar among the young and warrior-minded. But it was the fierceness she brought to her denunciation of “Israeli settler colonialism” and CUNY’s collaboration with “the fascist N.Y.P.D.” that especially inflamed the political class, even if her own audience, including the law school dean, seemed receptive.

Where does Brooke Goldstein fit into this? See her C.V. here:
Brooke Goldstein is a New York City-based human rights attorney, author, and award-winning filmmaker. She serves as Executive Director of The Lawfare Project, a nonprofit organization dedicated to raising awareness about and facilitating a response to the abuse of Western legal systems and human rights law. Brooke is also the founder and director of the Children’s Rights Institute (CRI), a nonprofit organization whose mission is to track, spotlight, and legally combat violations of children’s basic human rights around the world.

Brooke’s second book, End Jew Hatred: A Manual for Mobilization, will be released in September 2023. End Jew Hatred shows how the Jewish people can affect real and lasting change by championing the Jewish cause as a minority rights issue, and by harnessing the power of grassroots mobilization, direct action, and legal activism.
Brooke’s award-winning documentary film, The Making of a Martyr, uncovers the illegal, state-sponsored indoctrination and recruitment of Palestinian children for suicide-homicide attacks. Filming Martyr, Brooke secured firsthand interviews with active and armed members of the Al-Aqsa, Fatah, Islamic Jihad, and Hamas terrorist groups as well as with families of suicide bombers, children imprisoned for attempting to blow themselves up, teachers at terrorist-run schools, and others involved in the phenomenon of child suicide bombing.

In her role as Executive Director of The Lawfare Project, Goldstein incubated, provided the seed funding for, and founded the progressive Jewish organization Zioness. She coined the phrase, “Zionism is a progressive value.”
It is an 825 word ‘Press Release’ , not a C.V. Like her allies @Freedland and @AnthonyJulius6, she is a professional political hysteric, on the search for Anti-Semites, under the bland descriptor of Jew Haters, as the in order too of avoiding the Law Court, for defamation.
See her latest tweet for the next installments of the continuing Melodrama, rooted in her inability to recognize the fact that Free Speech, and that Palestinians must defend their right to merely exists, even in the reality… Thank you Fatima Mousa Mohammed!
