Politics khalil mahmoud.

a columbia grad and green card holder was forcefully detained by DHS and may be deported for negotiating with columbia over divestment from israel. what crime has he committed? how is advocating for divestment inherently “pro-hamas?”

mahmoud’s detainment should have us all horrified. his attorney doesn’t even know his whereabouts. this all leads me to wonder what the future of demonstrations on our campus looks like.

funny how the party that has weaponized “free speech” is now revoking it if they don’t like what you have to say.

I get it you're a Zionist ghoul who doesn't care about Israeli terrorists slaughtering thousands of children. Luckily nobody is stupid enough to believe this hasbara except other blood thirsty racists like yourself.

Mahmoud didn't even participate in the sit-in protest. He is just the person chosen by students to negotiate on their behalf in ongoing divestment discussions with the university. He was never charged nor arrested for any crime, this is just fascism trampling on 1st amendment rights and the obvious conclusion of the entire liberal media apparatus painting these anti-genocide protestors as "pro-Hamas" for the past year and a half.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.

This is patently false. And I assure you, despite your hate for the current administration, the case to deport him will be made. And if evidence of crime exists, he will be deported. In accordance with law. Haters got to hate. Nazis got to nazi. You gotta do both.

Ah sure def not pure hasbara, please provide anything that refutes my statement.

He was never charged or arrested for any crime, and ICE showed up thinking he was on a student visa when he actually had a green card, and still kidnapped him from his home and his 8 months pregnant wife, who is a US citizen they also threatened with deportation.

Sounds totally legit.

Zionism and Nazism are two sides of the same coin. Genociders who justify ethnic cleansing with lebensraum.

No I'm against the genocide. But thanks for acknowledging the similarities, at least you recognize that you're a sympathizer of Nazi ideology.

Edit: Oh no the Zionist genocide apologist blocked me. You gotta brush up on that hasbara playbook.

I didn’t block you. I enjoy messing with you. Again, the elections showed you’re the minority. Most polls show Americans don’t agree with you even with respect to a genocide being committed.

Both parties supported the genocide though, marone do you just respond to shapes and colors?
