The California college student who delivered incendiary “antisemitic hate” during a commencement speech sparked “outrage” among students in attendance with her unchallenged rhetoric.  

“The speech definitely soured my graduation,” one Jewish El Camino Community College student told The Post about his spoiled big day. “I definitely felt singled out.”

Jana Abulaban, the 18-year-old who made crammed in several inflammatory anti-Israel claims in her short, two-minute speech at the Torrance, Calif. campus ceremony, included accusations that the “oppressive apartheid state of Israel” is “killing and torturing Palestinians as we speak” to the some 5,000 audience attendees.

“Part of me wanted to leave,” added the grad, who said that he felt “outed.” “It just wasn’t appropriate for a speech.”

Despite the smattering of enthusiastic applause from the audience, Abulaban’s charged rhetoric spoiled the day for many. “From who I talked to, they were outraged that was allowed to be said,” added the student.

The gobsmacked grad told The Post he “felt uneasy” when Abulaban, the self-described “Palestinian refugee”  – who was really born and raised in Jordan – launched into her hateful and “hurtful” diatribe. “I was kind of telling myself, ‘Are you kidding me?’ You’re using a platform that you earned as student government president to put out this message that clearly pushes further division instead of a message of inclusion.’”

The school’s YouTube page, which still has the entire event posted, caught a flurry of comments about the hate-filled speech, including, “The fact that no one derailed this event to protest the slanderous appropriation of the trauma of South Africans, nor appeared to be shocked at what was said, tells me everything I need to know about how unsafe Jewish and Israeli students will become on campus,” said one commenter, noting Abulaban’s loose use of the term “apartheid.”

Watchdog groups demand answers – and accountability – from the school. “Whoever greenlighted Abulaben’s hate-filled speech falsely vilifying the world’s only Jewish state must be held responsible,” blasted Liora Rez, executive director of StopAntisemismnow.org. 

As for the school brass signing off on the speech, the Jewish student said the school “doesn’t like controversies,” noting, “I was surprised that the school OK’ed it.” 

Abulaban exclusively told The Post that the current interim director of student development, who has been ID’ed as Ricardo Gonzales, “really backed me up” on the speech.

The Union, the school paper, included gushing comments from Gonzales last week: “Jana is by far one of the most integral service-based, equity-minded and innovative leaders that I have seen in this institution for a long time.” Gonzales, who didn’t return mutliple messages from The Post, made $105,411 in 2021, according to public records.

He predicted an ominous future for Jewish students at the school, asserting the speech set “a bad precedent” for incoming Jewish students, though he himself faced no backlash for his faith while at school. “Most Jews try not to be open about it, because they know that a lot of college campuses aren’t  that welcoming,” he said of the general college climate.

Abulaban’s speech, which closely echoed the roundly maligned CUNY Law School commencement speech by Fatima Mousa Mohammed who infamously claimed Israel was guilty of indiscriminately killing Palestinians, inspired a fresh wave of outrage. “…from coast to coast, Islamist terrorist sympathizers are spreading propagandist lies about half of the world’s Jews and the one Jewish nation,” tweeted lawyer Stacey E. Burke, adding, “The scary part is many are and the institutions (many of which receive both state and federal funding) are okay with it and approve it. They lie about that later if trouble arises, but they approve these words. It’s who they are and what they believe.”

The 76-year-old California public school’s “Statement of Values” espouses “integrity” as part of its five pillars, which includes acting “ethically and honestly” in addition to embracing “our similarities and differences to promote an inclusive campus community.”

But prospective parents aren’t buying it. 

Sebastian Kessel, a dad of a high school senior about to apply to El Camino, was “horrified” by the speaker’s political tirade. “There’s been an increase in radical speech in college – and in the name of tolerance, we’ve become more intolerant,” the LA-based Kessel descendant of  Holocaust survivors, told The Post.

He’s awaiting the school’s response before he decides to let his daughter apply.

“The reaction of the school will be more telling than the speech itself,” said Kessel. “If the school declines to take action, even a token action, then that sends a pretty big message to Jews in the area: stay away because you’re not going to be protected.”

The dad, who classified himself as “politically to the left,” continued, “What kind of father would I be if I put my daughter in that environment?” 

Added Kessel: “Will the school stand up for the rights of students to have an education without being ostracized and insulted and feared for their safety?”

After multiple requests by The Post, the school has yet to issue a statement more than two days after the story broke.
