NYC Councilwoman pulls CUNY law school funds over anti-Israel stance

May 29, 2022 — Nerdeen Kiswani speaks out for Palestinian rights while ...

The WOL leader said that there had been a campaign to prevent her from speaking ...

"No, she's under scrutiny because she says really outlandish things and does things like go up to people wearing IDF sweaters and threatens to light them on fire," said Rafaella Gunz, a former classmate of Kiswani's at CUNY Law, who left the institution due to what she described as a "toxic" antisemitic environment.

"It's not because of her Palestinian identity, it's because she interrupts Holocaust memorial ceremonies and says that she hopes the last thing Zionists hear in their life is 'pop pop.' She says crazy, violent things and it's f**king cheered on."

"Not just in this speech, but in other venues, Kiswani has demanded 'Zionism out of CUNY.' In other words, that Zionist Jews should be discriminated against based on their religion, ethnicity, and/or national origin as students, faculty, or staff members and be thrown out of CUNY," SAFE CUNY told The Jerusalem Post.

"Kiswani is unqualified to hold a law license in New York state because she emphatically expresses views that violate the attorney's oath of office and religious liberty for all religious beliefs, including Zionistic ones, under the New York State constitution. It was even more shocking to observe CUNY Law Professors on stage applauding and cheering Kiswani's discriminatory rhetoric."...

Anti-Israel Activists Urge Violence Against Jews in Times Square Rally

Dec 9, 2017 — Nerdeen Kiswani of the New York City branch of Students for Justice in Palestine speaking at a rally against US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.

A large protest held in New York City’s Times Square on Friday against US recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital featured chants calling for violence and the destruction of the Jewish state.
In video footage captured by the advocacy group Reservists on Duty (RoD), protesters clad in keffiyehs and waving Palestinian flags can be seen shouting in Arabic, “Khaybar, Khaybar, oh Jews, the army of Muhammed is returning.” The slogan refers to a 7th century battle fought by the Islamic prophet Muhammad against Jewish tribes, and is often invoked by Islamist terrorist groups including Hamas and Hezbollah.
Participants at the rally — organized by a coalition of local pro-Palestinian groups active in the boycott, divestment, and sanction (BDS) campaign against Israel — repeatedly described an “intifada” as the “only one solution” to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. “Intifada,” an Arabic term for a popular uprising, refers to two violent Palestinian campaigns carried out against Israel in recent decades, which included multiple suicide bombings, shootings, stabbings, and other terrorist attacks.
“With spirit and blood we’ll redeem al-Aqsa,” protesters chanted in reference to the mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem. “We don’t want no two state, we want ’48.”
