So he supports the 2SS.
I do too. I guess people who want 2SS are terrorists now.
Tell me pompous Jews lead these organizations without telling me pompous Jews lead these organizations.
That Palestinian student gets it. The ongoing conflict between the people in power is paid for in innocent lives. You can support Palestine without supporting Hamas, just as you can support Israel without supporting Netanyahu. There cannot be peace between nations while either remain in power.
The Israeli government lobby has long tried to portray any criticism of them as antisemitism. No government, not the Israeli one and not the US one, is above criticism - especially for war crimes and human rights violations.
They literally equate being Palestinian with being a terrorist. The ADL are, after all, experts on defamation. Extreme defamation. Annihilating defamation.
He signed his name to a statement defending 7.10 as an act of resistance, and broke into a library to distribute fliers with said statement and the Hamas logo.
That's pretty undeniable. Like, by definition it was an act of resistance to the occupation of Palestine. Whether or not it was an acceptable act of resistance can be debated, but denying that was is an act of ignorance to both the expressed reasons for the action and what was done during it.
The government has said explicitly that they are not charging him with a crime, and that they don't think he has committed a crime.
Private actors like his employer are within their rights to cut ties with him over his actions, but the state can't cancel a green card for speech it finds distasteful.
It can if the Secretary of State feels like it (technically "has reasonable ground to believe" the green card holder would negatively impact a "compelling interest" of US foreign policy, but with this admin and SCOTUS, that's "feels like it").
Not an endorsement of this, to be clear.
I don't think he committed a crime either. Hate speech is legal in the US. However, a) OP is under the impression Khalil doesn't support Hamas, which he does, and b) while hate speech is legal, universities are required to police hate speech; it's an expulsion offense, not a deportation one.
I do, but that's beside the point. I'm not accusing Khalil of failure to condemn 7.10. I'm accusing him of having called 7.10 an act of resistance that activists must center (if you want a link, check my feed with replies).
But it was. You may think it was horrific but if that's the case you must condemn the 70 years of atrocities that lead to "7.10" which I'm assuming is how you would say October 7th in your country
I'm an alum and occasionally stories from campus pique my curiosity. Not for nothing, much of my angle on this centers the university admin as a villain and mocks how it sides with professors over students *on both sides of I/P* (Joseph Massad and Shai Davidai, namely).
(You don't follow me so maybe you haven't seen this, but search from:me with the keyword "Davidai" or "Columbia" or, for one very specific reference that I can no longer find the image for, "sodomizing." I didn't start dumping on the university yesterday.)
Ilan Pappé, who is the basest Israeli historian of Palestine, says Palestinians have the right to resist occupation, but resistance doesn't include killing civilians or raping them.
Pappé is great. So is listening to Palestinians and not requiring them to prove their credentials to you. We do know that Israel rapes and kills civilians and killed its own people on oct 7. So repeating the unproved Hamas terrorism/rape line is unhelpful rhetoric, if that’s your concern.
Raz Segal, who I know personally, he goes to my shul and is in my cell phone, was one of the most effective activists using his expertise of genocide to oppose the genocide in Gaza and trumpet the S. African case. He says we can also condemn Hamas' crimes.
I mean, I think Netanyahu should go to prison and have repeatedly said Khalil should not because his support for Hamas is not material, and as someone who follows me and cares about the issue judging by your avi you know I think this because I constantly talk about it. So why the bullshitting?
You responded to a post questioning whether Khalil could be considered "an agent for Hamas" as below, and I responded with facts that Khalil at worst made reprehensible speech, but not material support for a FTO, whereas Netanyahu did. Which part do you not get? https://bsky.app/profile/alonlevy.bsky.social/post/3lk54oztjzk2l

They hate humanity, because it takes hate to lie to the world constantly like this. Contempt.
All of these lies are for Israel too. All this fascism.
For Israel.
All this anti constitutional bullshit is for Israel.

What do you think you're gaining by trying to continue to push the expulsion angle, exactly?
You aren't on the Columbia campus. You don't live in America, let alone NYC.
Shut the fuck up already.
Then you should look first at Netanyahu and the Israeli government, which gave direct material support to Hamas.

"distribute fliers with said statement and the Hamas logo"
Or
Sending money directly to Hamas in cash in suitcases?

So why revoke Khalil's green card, but not Israeli government visas?
