commencement address.

The Professional Staff Congress (PSC) defended graduate Fatima Mohammed

The law school grad accused Israel of "indiscriminate" murder, encouraging "lynch mobs" and lauded resistance to "Zionism around the world."

"Israel continues to indiscriminately rain bullets and bombs on worshipers, murdering the old, the young, attacking even funerals and graveyards... our silence is no longer acceptable," she said.

#3  Apparently, there's nothing wrong with "hate," as long as the "correct" target for it is selected.
