City University of New York (CUNY) for Palestine is a pro-Hamas student organization. On July 25, 2024, the group threatened to destroy the university as well as “brutalize” and “escalate” action against the city of New York, according to reports. In a statement, the group argued that the pro-Hamas encampments across universities did not go far enough, and that the goal should be to “disrupt, dismantle, and abolish” institutions such as universities.
