This is ridiculous. Everyone has watched what has unfolded at Columbia over the last year and a half. We are not imagining it.
The Jerusalem Post reports:
Mahmoud Khalil downplays campus antisemitism, accuses students of ‘participating in genocide’Mahmoud Khalil accused Columbia University of creating a “manufactured public hysteria about antisemitism” and likened the school to a Nazi collaborationist government in a letter dictated from an ICE detention center.He also claimed, without citing evidence, that fellow students who spoke out against antisemitism were serving in the Israeli military during school vacations.The letter, published Friday in the Columbia Spectator, the student newspaper, is Khalil’s second since he was arrested on campus by ICE nearly a month ago. Khalil, a Syrian-born Palestinian and recent graduate of Columbia, was a leader of protests against Israel and among the first and most prominent student activists to be arrested in the Trump administration’s campus crackdown. He is now fighting deportation in court.The letter was published as conflict over student activism has continued to play out at Columbia. Last month several plaintiffs, including Khalil and Columbia students, filed a lawsuit seeking to block the school from sending a House committee its disciplinary records. A federal judge ruled Friday that the school must give students 30 days’ notice before handing over any documents.Prior to the order, a group of mostly Jewish protesters chained themselves to gates on Columbia’s campus Wednesday demanding to learn more about whether the school had provided information to the federal government that led to Khalil’s arrest.
