The ADL celebrates the Trump admin orchestrating the disappearance of a permanent resident and his transportation across state lines as retaliation for his politics

Who's gonna break it to the ADL that a lot of folks in this administration, including many responsible for orchestrating this disappearance, don't care much for Jews either?
First the “oh it’s not a Nazi salute” and now this. Whether one agrees with Mahmoud Khalil or not, the First Amendment does not take sides or considers citizenship status.
There are some organizations that stand by their principles, even when it isn’t easy. There are others that use ‘principles’ as a front, and they fall away when the chips are down. What is being revealed in these times can never be unseen, no matter what else happens.
"material support for foreign terrorist organizations, incite violence in support of terrorist activities, or conceal their identities in order to harass & intimidate Jewish individuals & institutions"
activism and free speech is being conflated to this? guilty until proven innocent? the fuck
If he'd provably done any of those things the ADL is accusing him of, presumably he'd be getting charged with that, as opposed to being detained arbitrarily and deported.
What evidence is there that Mahmoud Khalil ever did any of these things? He's never been charged with any crime, not even a misdemeanor. He hasn't been brought before any judge. The Govt hasn't produced a scintilla of evidence that he did anything.
Do the ADL folks not understand what a dangerous precedent this sets?If they arrest/deport folks the ADL don't like,who says tomorrow it might not be them?Or just start paying to disappear the folks you don't like.Asking to stop the violence against Palestinians is not antisemitic,it's humanitarian.
God imagine what they'd do to a person of suspect immigration status who gave two Nazi salutes, invoked conspiracy theories with respect to the lynching of a Jew, and employed Nazi Party name puns while facilitating neo-Nazis' return to social media. I mean if he wasn't inordinately wealthy
The ADL's relentless Zionist and Likudnik stance makes clear its abandonment of American Jews. They exist only as if they're immigrants from Israel, not Americans of a particular ethnicity and identity native to this land. Just some rootless cosmopolitans, I guess.
Considering nobody knows where he is they might want to rethink this. I don’t know the details of what he may or may not have done but nobody should be seized and thrown into a detention process with no legal guardrails. Nobody should be celebrating that, least of all people against antisemitism
Was he supplying "material support to a terrorist organization" or just organizing protests against the destruction of Gaza and people who live(d) there, who cannot all be called terrorists. Genuinely don't know.
And if giving material support to a terrorist organization
is an issue (as it should be), how about consequences for the ppl who marched with the Proud Boys chanting "Jews will not replace us." When locally grown white guys chanted that, somehow it wasn't antisemitism. ??? BS.
Yes. Lot’s of people hitching their wagon to the wrong horse. Lot’s of people willing to harm others as long as they think they will benefit. This won’t end well.
one pamphlet titled “Our Narrative… Operation Al-Aqsa Flood,” which justified the Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and in which women were repeatedly raped, whole families were executed & 251 hostages were taken to the Gaza Strip. “
So you agree that anyone who practices their first amendment speech should be seized on a whim? Repugnant and hate speech are protected in this country (or supposed to be). Don't worry though, right wing authoritarian leaders have never turned on other minority groups once done with one right?
His conduct wasn’t just 1A speech…he organized violent protests against Jews and prohibited Jews from using parts of the campus with the encampment…he provided material support to Hamas which is a crime…
No genocide at all…unless you mean what Hamas did to Israel on October 7…the protests were violent and harassing to Jewish students…Jews were threatened…
Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians
What's your favourite part about Israel's genocide? Do you like Israel murdering children the most? Or maybe it's Israel exterminating entire bloodlines you like most? Or Israel torturing doctors and others to death in camps?
18 U.S.C. § 2339B, which makes it unlawful, within the United States, or for any person who is subject to the jurisdiction of the United States anywhere, to knowingly provide material support to a foreign terrorist organization
Actually it was done due to his organization of harassing, intimidating and violent protests against Jewish students…due process rights must be respected but let’s not mischaracterize the person’s conduct.
It’s not a genocide at all and the protests went way beyond 1A speech as Jews were threatened and banned from parts of campus…you are an antisemite and Exhibit A as to why Trump won in November…
You think that preventing Jews from entering parts of campus, a thing that did not even happen, is justification for disappearing someone? Have you considered that you have much more in common with a Trump voter than I do?
I think you should stop pretending that you care about civil rights and progressive policies and just be a full throated Republican like most Israel supporters
It absolutely happened…we saw video after video showing that as well as Students’ accounts which corroborated the antisemitism and threats which permeated the Columbia protests…18 U.S.C. § 2339B, which makes it a crime to offer material support to a terror group like Hamas…
ok so we’re back to the original question: do you think a valid response to student protest is to arrest people, even American citizens, and put them into ICE detention? Just admit what you believe.
Shame on them.
Support is not against any law. I don't agree with some stuff, but I will stand for your right to support the people of Gaza.
Besides, per Trump, Hamas is not terrorist bc as we know he is "dealing" with them & US policy is that we don't deal w/terrorists.
Shame on ADL
Not loving the ADL response. They said all things to all people. The "i hope there will be due process" tagged at the end... when... that should have been at the top.

Not so much.
This time, they're probably not going to come for me though.
It's not illegal to harass an institution, JFC.
Nakedly awful.

He will not be missed
Got it.
I do believe the ADL just “thinly-veiled-threatened” all Americans.
They've crossed a Rubicon that will take a very, very long time to come back from.
If ever.
It's been mind-blowing to witness their complete collapse.
Maybe I've been naive.
This is not a shocker to me.
And if giving material support to a terrorist organization
And how about due process?

YOU are anti-semitic for conflating Judaism with genocide

Shame on ADL
