Jewish students at Columbia University chained themselves to a campus gate across from the graduate School of International and Public Affairs Wednesday, braving rain and cold to demand the school release information related to the targeting and ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a former SIPA student. Democracy Now! was at the protest and spoke to Jewish and Palestinian students calling on the school to reveal the extent of its involvement in Khalil’s arrest.

Jewish students chained themselves to gates at Columbia University Wednesday in support of Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia student protest leader now in an ICE jail in Louisiana. On March 8th, federal agents detained Khalil at his university-owned apartment building, even though he’s a legal permanent resident of the United States. They revoked his green card.

    They’re obviously antisemites…

      Here is everyone’s nearly daily reminder that there is a difference between antisemitism and antizionism.

      Criticizing the Israeli government and its leaders is not the same as criticising all Jewish people.

      The Zionists want to conflate these things so they can hide in plain sight and have people that aren’t paying attention defend their war crimes.
