So who exactly is Mahmoud Khalil? Khalil is a roughly 30-year-old former Columbia graduate student. In the words of The New York Times, Khalil is "The Public Face of Protest Against Israel" at Columbia. He has acted as a spokesman for an anti-Israel, pro-Hamas student group called Columbia University Apartheid Divest or CUAD. CUAD says it is "fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization." CUAD believes that Oct 7 was a “moral, military, and political victory." CUAD justified Oct. 7 by declaring “violence is the only path forward”. Khalil was the negotiator on behalf of students who started a tent city on Columbia's campus and who illegally took over a campus building. Khalil distributed pamphlets of pro-Hamas propaganda, titled "Operation Al-Aqsa Flood: Our Narrative." Al-Aqsa Flood is Hamas's code name for the 10/7 terrorist attacks. Khalil was in a group that disrupted a Columbia class on Israeli history to attack the country, and the professor, for "normalizing genocide." All of these actions violate the rules that allowed Khalil to come here as an immigrant. American citizens have strong freedom of speech, but there is ZERO reason that America should be welcoming in foreigners from abroad whose chief occupation will be agitating on behalf of American enemies who murder women and children as their primary strategy. Khalil does not want to live in America because he loves our land, our people, and our values. Khalil wants to live in America in order to contribute to its destruction and eradication. Staying in America isn't a right. It's a privilege. And Mahmoud Khalil threw his privilege away. Khalil needs to go home, and thousands more need to go home with him. This 30-year-old terrorist sympathizer is a martyr for nothing except the murder of children.
