Love these kids! THIS IS MARCH!

One really needs to look through all this. He was deeply embedded—indeed, a leader of—a viscously pro-violence and antisemitic movement at Columbia.

The NYC mayor unapologetically hosting a Hamas sympathizer.

Let’s see Mamdani wiggle his way out of this one.

[Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani @NYCMayor]

For Mahmoud Khalil, this past year has been marked by profound hardship—and by profound courage.

A year ago, Mahmoud was walking home through our city after sharing an iftar with his wife Noor when he was detained by federal agents, flown to Louisiana, and then held in an ICE facility for months. In that time, he was forced to miss the birth of his first child. All of this for exercising his First Amendment rights in protesting the ongoing genocide in Palestine.

And yet, even in the face of that cruelty, there has also been beauty. New Yorkers raising their voices in solidarity. A city refusing to look away. Mahmoud won his freedom, and a father was finally reunited with his child.

Last night, as we marked the one year anniversary of his detention, Rama and I were honored to welcome Mahmoud, Noor, and their son Deen to Gracie Mansion to break our fast together.

Mahmoud is a New Yorker, and he belongs in New York City.

There are two positions from which one can approach the Mahmoud Khalil situation. One is the civil liberties perspective, being concerned in a content-neutral way about free speech and due process. But Mamdani is the other—supportive of Khalil *because* of his particular views. And they are TERRIBLE views.

Khalil was a student leader of an organization, the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, that unabashedly cheerleads and embraces Hamas' most violent acts. They referred to October 7th as a "heroic struggle." They published "A Tribute to Yahya Shinwar." They support "liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance."

October 7th was when Hamas, led by Shinwar, entered Israel and murdered as many unarmed civilians as they could find, face-to-face, with small arms.

Khalil himself supports "armed resistance" and justifies or downplays Palestinian violence. He has forcefully defended calls to "Globalize the Intifada," and minimized that the Second Intifada was itself largely a campaign of suicide bombings against Israeli civilians. Offering the most milquetoast denunciation of killing civilians in an interview, he immediately pivoted to justifying 10/7. After all, Palestinians, in his words, need not be "perfect victims."

But we have many reasons to believe Mamdani shares all these views. As a longtime activist who has accused Israel of being responsible for NYPD police violence, as himself a defender of the "Globalize the Intifada" phrase. As the husband of a woman who liked posts celebrating 10/7 on social media as it was happening.

And now Mamdani hosts Khalil, not simply to defend his rights but to affirm, casually, the "genocide" slander again the Jewish State—it is simply deplorable, and unacceptable for the Mayor of New York.

@NYCMayor Khalil led Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), Columbia’s primary pro-Hamas group fronting for the suspended Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP). Both groups have already been accused in federal court of providing material support to Hamas.

@NYCMayor Khalil wasn’t targeted for “free speech.” He was arrested for conduct and leadership in a movement that has repeatedly crossed the line from advocacy into unlawful conduct. You can't launder illegal activity into “constitutional rights” just by calling it “pro-Palestinian.”

[Mark Goldfeder @MarkGoldfeder]

Dear @NYCMayor

Your constitutional illiteracy is matched only by your reflexive disregard for Jewish rights. You are wrong on the facts, wrong on the law, and wrong on the application.

Let me explain:

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Fascinating to observe the almost total silence from loudly pro-Palestinian celebrities & media figures re the courageous Iranian protestors
risking their lives for freedom and democracy. Suggests their hatred of Israel overrides intellectual honesty and principle.

Tarek Bazrouk, who assaulted my brother as well as two other Jewish individuals, was just sentenced to 17 months in prison.

Powerful message from judge Richard Berman:

“If you assault somebody unprovoked just because that random somebody is an actual or perceived Jew,.. because you, the assaulter, hate Jews, you are very likely to go to jail. It’s that simple.”

Mahmood Mamdani to Columbia students and faculty:
“We (the anti-Israel movement) should not be fixated on a single tactic ... Violence and nonviolence aren’t opposites.”

Mahmood's son, @ZohranKMamdani says his father shaped his politics.

It should not be any surprise why this man almost exclusively hangs out with terror apologists.

[Eylon Levy @EylonALevy]

He started the week in Hamas' tunnels.

Now he's enjoying the sun and the sea.

Shabbat Shalom x

Why are 2 @Columbia student groups publicizing an event celebrating Yahya Sinwar, the terrorist mastermind behind the 10/7 attack? The Arabic on the second image reads: “The Jihadi fighter, the shahid Yahya Sinwar.”
