mahmoud khalil is a Syrian born, Columbia University-educated (if you can call it that) agitator, who has been a major figure in the Israel-hatred/Jew-hatred activities on that campus. His social media is loaded with anti-Semitic material.
From Taylor Odisho’s article for the Latin Times (please pay special attention to the part in bold print):
Democrats Blast Trump Admin for Revoking Palestinian Protester’s Green Card: It’s ‘Straight Out of the Fascist Playbook’
Democrats are speaking out against the Trump administration for working with Columbia University to arrest pro-Palestine activist Mahmoud Khalil, a former graduate student who holds a Green Card and is a permanent U.S. resident.
Khalil, who was born in Syria and obtained his graduate degree from Columbia’s School of International and Public Affairs in December, has been a vocal supporter of Palestine. He served as a negotiator for students bargaining with university officials to dismantle the “Gaza Solidarity Encampment,” which sparked a global movement but made Khalil a target for pro-Israel activists, AP News reported.
University officials worked with the Trump administration and Khalil was arrested by U.S. Immigration and Customs agents, who also threatened to arrest his 8-month pregnant wife, in his apartment on Saturday.
Since then, protests have erupted and #FreeMahmoudKhalil has trended across social media as the nation has called for him to be freed. Several Democratic politicians have also spoken out in support of the detained activist.
“Free Mahmoud Khalil. This is straight out of the fascist playbook. Criminalizing dissent is an assault on our First Amendment and freedom of speech,” Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib wrote in an X post shared Monday.
“Revoking someone’s green card for expressing their political opinion is illegal. Protesting genocide is not a crime,” the Michigan lawmaker added.
New York Attorney General Letitia James wrote she is “extremely concerned” about Khalil on her X account on Monday.
That’s right. mahmoud khalil, for many Democrats, is the new cause celebre.
Do you care about Israel? Do you care about the safety and well being of Jews?
If so, you might want to remember this.
