One thing that's worth noting: This student didn't even say the word "Israel." A simple recognition of Palestinian suffering was enough for an American university to withhold this student's diploma and "pursue disciplinary actions".
Here's the grad speech that NYU is now withholding the student's diploma for:. "As I search my heart today in addressing you all…the only thing that is appropriate to say in this time and to a group this large is a recognition of the atrocities currently happening in Palestine."
