So much for kumbaya.

A self-proclaimed imam speaking at a CUNY City College interfaith event went into a Jew-hating tirade, urging Muslim students to leave in protest after complaining that a “Zionist” was present.

The City University of New York said it is now investigating the shocking incident last week that targeted Ilya Bratman, an adjunct lecturer at Baruch College and the director of the Hillel Jewish campus organization.

“I came here to this event not knowing I would be sitting next to a Zionist and this is something I am not going to accept,” said the Islamic scholar Abdullah Mady, referring to Bratman, according to an audio recording obtained by The Post.

“My people are being killed right now in Gaza,” he said. “If you’re a Muslim, out of strength and dignity, I ask you to exit this room immediately.”

About 100 students in attendance took up the call and walked out, leaving about 20 Christian and Jewish students who remained in the room stunned, Bratman said.

The remaining students were escorted out with the assistance of campus security to keep them safe while those who walked out in protest gathered outside, he said.

The dumbfounded moderator, student chaplain Joshua Medina, apologized to the students for the ugly protest, saying it was supposed to be a “respectful” discussion.

“Unfortunately that didn’t happen,” he said.

Bratman said he was targeted in a blatant and open display of antisemitism that left him scared.

“If the imam stood up and said, ‘If you’re a good Muslim, attack this Zionist’, they would have done it,” he told The Post on Wednesday.

“It was 100 percent antisemitic. It’s not about Israel. It’s about the Jews.”

The interfaith event was held on Nov. 13 in CCNY’s main campus building and sponsored by the school, Bratman said.

Two participants in the event identified Mady as the speaker who blasted Bratman and urged Muslim students to walk out.

Mady — an alum of City College, with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and working toward a bachelor’s degree in translational medicine — was not immediately available for comment via a phone message and text.

Earlier in his speech, he spoke about sharia law and chopping off the fingers of thieves — the rich, not the poor.

“I’m talking about the elite, the filthy rich, the ones that continue to steal from people as we speak today. Those are the ones that deserve their tips to be cut off,” he said.

A City College spokesman said the matter is under investigation.

“The City College of New York has zero tolerance for acts of hate or bigotry of any kind. We are investigating this incident and will promptly take all necessary and appropriate actions to address any such discrimination and remedy its effects,” the spokesman said.

Complaints about antisemitism at CUNY campuses have raged in recent years, fueled in party by anti-Israel protests over the war in Gaza — including at CCNY.

Anti-Israel criminals caused at least $3 million in damage at City College during violent protests last year.

A report commissioned by Gov. Kathy Hochul concluded that CUNY needed a top-to-bottom overhaul to combat “alarming’’ antisemitism fanned by its own faculty and do-nothing higher-ups.

The latest incident drew outrage on social media, and the Anti-Defamation League also slammed the blatant display of Jew hatred. 

“It’s astounding to think a Jewish person wouldn’t be present during an interfaith presentation,” said ADL spokesman Scott Richman.
