Mahmoud Khalil, a 31-year-old Syrian-born Islamist activist living in the United States, has proudly led the organization, “Columbia University Apartheid Divest,” or CUAD. CUAD is an outspoken organization at Columbia University in New York, that espouses to be about pressuring the university to divest of any and all investments and support it may (or may not) give to Israel. Okay. And even though the vast majority of the kids who follow along in their organized protests have no clue what they’re protesting about (this is a proven fact), they are allowed to do it. They are all allowed to make fools of themselves publicly, and say out loud that they don’t want Columbia University to invest in or support Israel. Under the First Amendment, they have a right to say that all they want. God will still see you, and you really should know more about foreign affairs, the Bible and what God says about Israel, and furthermore you really should know about the group you’re associating yourselves with, but if you want to be stupid and blindly follow the blind: have-at-it.
However, that’s not all they do, as demonstrated by their own words and their actions. Going much further than their surface veneer as an “anti-Zionist” organization protected by their right to Free Speech, this organization has called for the destruction of Western society, especially the United States and Israel. They have repeatedly, openly voiced their support of the death-cult-terrorist organization, Hamas, and their stance not only against the Jewish state of Israel, but any and all Jewish students at Columbia, in violation of those students’ rights under the First Amendment as well as their legal protections under the Civil Rights Act.
From “The Jerusalem Post, Michael Starr, March 11, 2025:
CUAD believes that Israel cannot survive without US support and concluded in a November 7 article that by “working against US imperialism at home, alongside the people of Harlem and with an ear for their demands, we believe that we can facilitate its fall. Therefore, we cannot separate the struggle in support of a free Palestine with the struggle against US imperialism.”
The means acceptable to achieve the destruction of Israel and the United States included armed violence and terrorism.”

Some of the group-led chants have included, “the Holocaust wasn’t special” and chants of “We don’t want no Zionists here.” They called for, and achieved, worldwide protests against Israel and the United States on campuses across the globe.
Good job.
And, indeed, Jewish students have been repeatedly attacked, spat on, harassed and terrified at Columbia University while the University leadership stood by and did way too little. You can read all about this throughout the course of last year:

https://www.timesofisrael.com/jewish-columbia-students-say-step-up-in-campus-protest-tactics-was-inevitable/ ~~~ Excerpt from this article: April 30, 2024 by Cathryn Prince: “NEW YORK — Columbia University freshman Nick Baum awoke in his campus dorm room Tuesday morning to the news that anti-Israel protesters had smashed their way into Hamilton Hall and barricaded the doors with zip ties and wooden planks.
Scores of students wearing black balaclavas stormed the academic building in the early hours of April 30, echoing a student takeover in 1968 by anti-Vietnam War activists.”
Khalil’s group, under his leadership, broke into Hamilton Hall, including the university president’s office which included $1,000 in damages. It’s my understanding that Khalil was not physically present at that break-in and the occupying of that building, but it was CUAD – the organization he leads – who did it.
And here’s an article about how the university did little-to-nothing about the hatred, harassment and terrorization of its Jewish students: https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/columbia-university-anti-semitism-report-37d018c8

Khalil entered the United States on a Student Visa and later married an American citizen and obtained a Green Card. A Green Card is still a Visa; it is not citizenship. Mr. Khalil is still a visitor in the U.S., even if he was given a Visa that means he can stay here indefinitely. Indefinitely has now expired.
What Mr. Khalil and his lawyers cannot answer for all of us is this: Mr. Khalil, if you hate Western civilization so much, and especially Israel and the United States – and you love Hamas so much – we just can’t understand why you don’t go live in the Gaza Strip. Why don’t you stop living where you hate it and go live where you espouse to love it? Huh?
So, the answer to whether Mr. Khalil has a right to Free Speech? Yes, he does. You are allowed in this country to openly gather to express how much you hate American and Israel. You can gather to express that you are a Nazi and that would be legal. You are allowed to openly worship Satan in America: You can go to hell if you want to! You are allowed to publicly hate Israel, thereby cursing yourself, if you want to!
Genesis 12:3: “I will bless those who bless you (Israel), and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” (emphasis mine)
But make no mistake about it: Even with a Green Card, you are not a citizen. You are still a guest and the President and the Secretary of State have the right to expel you if you are a threat to, or violate the rights of others, and if you are deemed to harm the foreign policy interests of the United States. And, according to Marco Rubio, that is exactly what he has done:
On Wednesday (April 9, 2025), the government filed a two-page memo from Secretary of State Marco Rubio arguing Khalil should be kicked out because of his participation “in antisemitic protests and disruptive activities, which fosters a hostile environment for Jewish students in the United States.”
Rubio’s memo said Khalil’s presence in the country undermines “U.S. policy to combat antisemitism around the world and in the United States, in addition to efforts to protect Jewish students from harassment and violence in the United States.”
It’s also worth noting that had Mahmoud Khalil stated on his Visa application that he is an anti-American who intends to enter the country in order to wreak havoc on Jewish students attending any university; that he intends to form and lead an organization that will organize protests and break into and take over (I thought you were against “occupations”) buildings at Columbia University, his entrance into the United States would be denied (well, maybe not under the prior administration, but under any sane administration he would’ve been denied entrance).
But he didn’t say any of that, of course. And so, he lied. He is now a martyr of Free Speech, when he is, in fact, a liar.
Many have made the point that as a guest, Mr. Khalil is subject to the same treatment you’d give a guest in your home, if they, for example, came in at your invitation for a dinner that you toiled and fought to prepare, even having some who died to forage the food going into the meal; and then your guest proceeded to blast everything you ever did, said, and served as well as the surroundings and your living conditions. I don’t know about you, but in such a case, I would show my guest to the door. And I might even show them my firearm collection, giving them an armed escort to said door, in order to ensure that they never return again. Thank you very much. As one commenter said on an above article: “Good bye and don’t let the door hit ya where the Lord split ya.”
Just by the mere fact that he wants to live here in America – the land that he supposedly hates – we know that this is not about Zionism or Imperialism or freeing Palestine. Blah, blah, blah. This is just another narcissist in need of attention.
Good job.
Now, get out. BYE!-BYE!-BYE!-BYE!-BYE!
