The NYPD theorizes there is an 'unknown entity' causing students to be pro-Palestinian.
Suspects they and NYC's mayor have come up with so far:

We regret cabinet decision to close Al Jazeera in Israel. A free & independent media is essential to ensuring transparency & accountability. Now, even more so given tight restrictions on reporting from Gaza. Freedom of expression is a key human right. We urge govt to overturn ban
