On Saturday, ICE agents abducted Mahmoud Khalil, a Palestinian activist, recent graduate of Columbia University and U.S. permanent resident as he returned home from an Iftar with his wife, who is 8 months pregnant.
Mahmoud’s abduction by ICE marks a new, severe escalation in the Trump administration’s attack on the movement for Palestinian freedom in the US, which has aimed its first crackdown at universities where students have organized.
But Mahmoud’s kidnapping has nothing to do with Jewish safety. The Trump administration thinks it can crush dissent and strip away constitutional rights. We know this playbook. We refuse to allow our neighbors to be abducted in our name.
Under the guise of fighting antisemitism, the Trump regime is using attacks on the movement for Palestinian freedom as an opening to dismantle civil liberties and the entire progressive movement. This is how fascism works. We refuse to be divided or silenced.
Today, Mahmoud is being detained over 1,000 miles away from his home inside a notorious Louisiana ICE facility. The Trump administration has vowed to deport him despite his status as a U.S. permanent resident.
Here is some information on "Jewish Voice for Peace" via the Anti-Defamation League's Center on Extremism. Also check out the JVP website: it specifically says that its members do not have to be Jewish.

Zionists abuse & misuse Judaism to justify their unJewish, racist agendas.
Non-zionist Jews uphold the faith!
