For Mahmoud Khalil, darling of the left, the Oct. 7 jihad massacre was “a desperate attempt to tell the world that the Palestinians are here, that Palestinians are part of the equation. To me, it felt frightening that we had to reach this moment in the Palestinian struggle.”
In other words, it was Israel’s fault, for ignoring the fact that the “Palestinians” are “part of the equation.”
“Leader of protests at Columbia University appears to justify 7 October massacre,” by Michelle Rosenberg, Jewish News, August 8, 2025 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
Anti-Israel campus leader Mahmoud Khalil has been criticised for apparent attempts to justify the 7 October Hamas terror attacks in a recent podcast interview with New York Times columnist Ezra Klein.
Widely criticised for his role in anti-Israel protests at NYC’s Columbia University, Khalil, 30, called Black Shabbat a “desperate” moment in which Palestinians “had to reach” in order to have their voices heard, adding: “Unfortunately, we couldn’t avoid such a moment.”…
In the interview, Khalil also appeared to link the 7 October attack to an agreement that would have normalised relations between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
“It was clear that the Saudi-Israel deal is very imminent, and Palestinians wouldn’t have any path to statehood and self-determination. So they had to do that, according to their calculations — which, it’s obvious, were not right.”
He told Klein that the terror attack was “to break the cycle” of Palestinians “not being heard” by Israel, calling it “a desperate attempt to tell the world that the Palestinians are here, that Palestinians are part of the equation. To me, it felt frightening that we had to reach this moment in the Palestinian struggle.”
He went on to claim: “Having lived in the Middle East most of my life, unfortunately, the only Jew you hear about is the one who’s trying to kill you” and described the reports of antisemitism at Columbia as “manufactured hysteria.”…

So, according to this terrorist, it’s ok to call on the destruction of a people group for not being paid attention too? So, if my child wont pay attention to me, I can kill him or her? NO, no, no, no!!!! That is barbaric!!! And is Insane!!! That is EVIL!!!!!
The brainwashing of people is wrong. Be they living in the U.S.A., or Iran, Russia, or China. It is evil. But the devil seems to find week spirited and minded people all over the world to work his evil craft on.
I am so happy my Saviour does not require me to hate people I don’t even know. That I am required to love my neighbors, as I love myself. I am so glad my GOD does not require me to kill others to work my way into heaven. And HE loves me so much that He gave his life to pay for my sin’s, so I can be in heave with Him. And all I need to do is except His free gift of salvation by believing in and loving Him and loving my neighbors.

Wow ! That’s an terribly wickedly false and outrageous statement of Mahmoud Khallil to say that those horrific Islamic massacres, kidnappings which occurred on October 7th 2023 was a “desperate attempt ” to announce that the “Palestinians are here” .
First those Hamas jihadist attacks of the day , was not desperate ,but horrendously evil too the most evil and diabolical extent possible.
So much so that ,those murderous Hamas jihadists who invaded Israel and committed other heinous and affronts , as mass murders and vile horrific sex assaults and outright rapes as well as kidnapping and other malicious and murderous Islamic terrorist jihad attacks against those peaceful young people at that music festival , as well as other Israeli’s terrible day a horrific demonic evil and blatant violation off all that is good decent and right It was an abomination.
Second , about those so called “Palestinians” that Khalil spoke of , this leads to an important question, which is “Are there really an ethnic or race of people who may be , rightly called the “ Palestinians” or is that just a hijacked term that the Arabs of the area in the Middle East now exclusively only to themselves without valid genuine proof that such a term is actually fitting for them.
Many reliable scholars and historians on Israel and the entire Middle East have ,rightly, answered that question. Two of them had together have compiled a book on this subject and had revealed, “The Palestinian leadership has repeatedly sought to legitimize their right to the land, by claiming it belongs to them and not the Jews. One of their BIG lies is that the land was always referred to as Palestine. Historically, this is inaccurate ! There has never been a Palestinian state in the history of the world.”
The authors further explain that “The Roman Emperor Hadrian , following the second Jewish revolt led by Simon Kochba , changed the name of Israel to Syria Palestina which he took from the Hebrew word Pelesheth, which we know as Philistia . Why ? Because the Jews hated the Philistines and this was a slap in the face to them.”
Those writers also added that “”What difference does this make ? …. “ They then explained, because it gives the false impression that there was a land of Palestine in ancient times and perpetuates the lie that the Jews took away the Palestinian land.”
In conclusion, “Palestine’ is a man- made fiction therefore, there is no ethnic group or race of people who are real“ Palestinians.” Likewise, the “Palestinian flag is a fake” flag.”
By great contrast, Israel is an historic and Biblical reality, Psalm 135;4.
The book source is entitled Miracle of Israel by Gary Frazier and Jim Fletcher , pages 177,178 179.
Walter Sieruk says
On October 7th 2023 what those kidnapping then raping vile and heinous jihadists of Hamas did to those girls and young women and still is completely unconscionably cruel and evil. Likewise on that same day malicious murderous Muslims terrorists of Hamas did was so very wicked that is was an abomination to everything that is good decent just and right.
Therefore, it should always be kept in mind and never forgotten that the jihad entity is completely evil and its jihadist stooges likewise are totally wicked. For there is absolutely no limits to the vile, heinous horrifically evils that the jihadists of Hamas will commit because of because of their demonic and malice-filled religion that is Islam.
Moreover, it was very good news that those young Israeli women who had been ruthlessly kidnapped by the jihadists of Hamas have been freed. Nevertheless, Hamas should pay compensation for the severe suffering and wicked abuse they, had to endure while in captivity, that inflected on them by the cruel jihadists of Hamas. Likewise, those jihadists of Hamas who had deliberately and maliciously inflected torture on them. Those Muslim terrorists should be punished for their savage cruelty that they brutally and maliciously horrendously committed against those poor defenseless helpless women .For those Hamas jihad should not be allowed to go free with impunity.

Where is his deportation order status? Has SCOTUS reversed the judge who put the stay on his deportation, or is he still free to go around yapping like he has? When can he finally be sent packing back to Algeria w/ wifey & baby?

Since Palestine is mostly in Israel (a little is in Jordan), the Palestinian struggle is actually the Jewish struggle. If not that, then who are the Palestinians? Are they the people in Gaza?
Jerry says
There was no people group identified as Palestinians in recent history before 1973. When than President Richard Nixon gave his approval to the U.N. to recognize the Arab people living in Gaza that were formerly Arabs, as the Palestinians. That is when all hell broke out against Israel. Look that up in Wikipedia if you want to fact check me. .
Gaza, and that area on Israel’s western shore on the Mediterranean Sea, has been under the control of the Jewish State of Israel from their Declaration of Independence in 14 May 1948 until 2005. And Israel was recognized by the U.N. and was made a member of the U.N. on May 11 1949. A full 25 years before the Arab people in the Gaza were recognized as a people call Palestinian, .In 2005 the people in Gaza had a vote and elected Hamas as their leadership. After a civil war inside Gaza when Hamas murdered al their political opponents.
The area called the West Bank (the West end of Jorden) today, is actually what was known as historic Judia and Semaria of ancient Israel in Biblical times. Those designations were established under Joshuwa, the leader of Israel after Moses, in the Bible. The man Moses was the man God selected as Israel’s human deliverer of Isreal from their 400 year enslavement in Egypt in 1446 BC. And that land remained as Judia and Semaria until the Romen destruction of Israel in the years 70 through 137 AD/CA under Roman Emperor Hadrian.
The name Palestinian comes from the name Palestine. Which is a derivative of the name Philistines, a people group that lived in the area during the days of Moses.
The Roman Emperor Hadrian renamed that whole area from Egypt to Sierya after the Second Jewish Revolt in the years 132 to 136 AD/CA. He did that to demoralize the Jewish people, naming their Homeland after their arch enemy is a military tactic move to break the will of the people. And help defeat their will to fight. The Philistines you can read about in the Bible book of Judges along with Samson and Delyla. The Bible is also a history book as much as it is a religious book.
This conflict goes back to the days of the Bible and the conflicts’ Israel had when returning to the land promised to them by God during the day’s of Abram aka Abraham, and his decedents through his son Issac, and his son Jacob. Genesis 12:7, and Genesis 15:18.
This current conflict has its roots not in any human dispute but goes back to the time when Lucifer the Angel rebelled before GOD and became Satin and wants to be god over all of creation. People hate the Jews because GOD YHWH chose them to be His selected people. You can read that in the Bible books; Exodus 19:5, Deuteronomy 7:6-7 and 14:2, and 26: 17-19, 2nd Samuel 7: 23-24, 1st Kings 8:53, and 10:9, and 1st Cornicles 17:21, Psalms 105:8-15, and 135:4, Isaia 41:8 and 43: 1-3, and 44:21, Jeremiah 31: 1-4, and 31:9-11, and 46:25-28, Ezekiel 36:24-28, and 37:21-25, Joel 3:1-2, Amos 3:1-2, Romens 11:1-2, and Hebrews 8:8-13. So you can see why the Jews today think that land belongs to them, and why they fight so hard for it. But Satin has blinded the eyes and brainwashed the majority of the people living today, to think the Jews where rejected by God. And thus have no claim to the land. Which is wrong. If GOD YHWH can go back on his promises to the Jews, than his word means nothing.
But the U.N. also interfered into Israels affairs. And so did some of the U.S Presidents interfere with Israels march into destiny. And made Israel give up land for peace. But the peace never came. Because of their hate for Israel, the Arabs, the so called Palestinians wrote in their Charter for Nationhood (their mission statement) to destroy the Jews and Israel and take that land. So we have had war between Israel the Arab Palestinians sense 1973. You will notice none of the nations around Israel are willing to take the Palestinians as Refugees. That is because the are nothing but trouble. AKA Terrorists!!

They are a fake people. B/w 1920 to 1948, the Jews were the people known as “Palestinians”. In fact, before the Jews started making a beeline for that area, it was empty. It’s only after the Jews got there and started making it prosperous that the neighboring Arab muslims from the Sinai and Jordan started getting interested and moving in
It was simply the most successful rebranding operation in history by the Soviets. Prior to the 1960s, the world saw it as an Arab-Israeli conflict, w/ Israel being a David-sized country in the Levant vs the Arabs being an empire from Mauritania to Iraq and Syria to Somalia. That’s a good part of why Israel looked like an underdog, and most people in the world supported Israel. Re-branding the Arab muslims in Israel as “Palestinians” (not including Judea & Samaria, which were controlled by Jordan, or Gaza, which was a part of Egypt) completely flipped the script, and made Israel look like they were bullying the Arabs. Particularly after Israel retook Judea, Samaria, Gaza and the Sinai in 1967, all the Arabs in the places they occupied were rebranded as “Palestinians”, and viola! Israel was now the bully
Anyway, “Palestinians” are nothing more than Arabs who live in & around Israel. No different from Jordanian or Syrian sunni Arabs

Es wird Zeit, diesen Typen samt Gattin und Kind abzuschieben. Er lehnt die jüdisch-christlich geprägte Kultur und ihre Werte ab, schmarotzt am großzügigen amerikanischen Bildungs- und Rechtssystem. Welche Gründe sollten für einen Verbleib in den USA vor Gericht geltend gemacht werden? Mir fallen keine ein.

“It’s time to deport this guy, along with his wife and child. He rejects the Judeo-Christian culture and its values, and he’s a parasite on the generous American education and legal systems. What grounds should be put forward in court for his continued residence in the US? I can’t think of any.”

Let me see if I have this correct..
Thousands of young men entered Israel every day for years to work at many different jobs, get the exact same pay as any Israel in the same job, they are recognized as workers by the companies that employ them as well as the State.
Israel supplied Gaza with electricity and water for decades even though they didn’t even pay for it.
However this prick, who should not even be in America, is telling the World that the Israeli people, meaning the Jews in his mind, do not see these ARABS as people…
Why is anybody giving this evil fascist pig the time of day as he should be at an Airport having PAID for his own Flight Ticket back to wherever he came from.. Banned from entering America ever again.
ploome says
“Why is anybody giving this evil fascist pig the time of day “?
to reinforce their basic feelings about Jews.
“Judaism originated over 3,500 years ago in the Middle East and has since spread to nearly every corner of the globe. The Jewish people have had a profound impact on modern history, serving as the catalyst for many of modern society’s predominant philosophies. As of late 2025, there were approximately 15.8 million Jews ” World population is about 8 BILLION.
0.2% of the world population. Most people have never met a Jews.
Unfortunately the two major religions based on superseding Judaism set the tone/
Amazing the obsession with 0.2% of the population.
Can someone try to explain it?

Here’s some more muzzlumness
“Pro-Hamas Islamic cleric held private ceremony honoring Omar Fateh”
“Asad Zaman, an Islamic imam who once promoted a pro-Hitler documentary and praised Hamas following its 2023 terrorist attacks, leads an organization that held a private inauguration event for Minneapolis mayoral hopeful Omar Fateh, according to newly unearthed reports.
In 2020, Fateh and six other recently elected Democratic state senators reportedly attended an in-person inauguration hosted by the Muslim American Society of Minnesota, where Zaman has served as executive director for over a decade, in their honor. Zaman has a history of radical social media usage, sharing a Hamas press release mourning a mass murderer in 2016, posting a link to a documentary praising Adolf Hitler in 2015, and praising the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks hours after they unfolded. Federal prosecutors once said that the Muslim American Society was “founded as the overt arm of the Muslim Brotherhood in the United States,” according to court records.”

They wanted to be seen – as the islamist, jihadi group that finally eliminated Israel.
Where the all islamist state armies of the past had failed – they would succeed.
If “Palestinians” and their elected Hamas government wanted a state they would have built a state.
They built what they wanted – a jihad tunnel system from which Hamas jihadis could operate to destroy Israel. They installed weapons and rockets with launchers among the population.
With this vast underground fortress and enormous stash of weapons, they really thought they could pull it off.
For insurance they made sure to take hundreds of hostages.
What they got was yet another “nakba”. Another defeat. How embarrassing.
Allah is seen by the whole world as falling down on the jihad victory job.
Time to play the victim! Tug on Western heartstrings for the underdog. Go back to their War Manual – the Quran, and start planning all over again.
ploome says
so October 7 was just a tantrum?
They need attention..and everything else to live and multiply, while they create nothing, contribute nothing and are unable to support themselves without receiving the most massive amount of money and aid in the history of mankind.
I misspoke……they do create something. They create and perpetuate the jihad against Israel and the Jews
