Raeli Chesser

Raeli Chesser spread hatred of Israel during an unapproved speech at her May 2024 college graduation during Israel’s war against Hamas terrorists.

The incident happened while Chesser was co-president of the student body of New York University’s (NYU) Silver School of Social Work (NYU Silver). Chesser and the other co-president delivered a speech together at the NYU Silver graduation ceremony where the other co-president claimed Israel was committing a “genocide” in Gaza.

The speech occurred during Israel’s war against Hamas, launched after terror attacks and war crimes against Israeli civilians, including mass murder, torture, rape, beheadings and kidnappings, which were executed on October 7, 2023. The attacks left over 1,200 Israelis dead, hundreds kidnapped and thousands wounded. For more information, see the Canary Mission page on Hamas.
