Mohsen Mahdawi is now a graduate student at Columbia. As an undergraduate at Columbia, he led campus pro-Hamas and anti-Israel protests that included surrounding Jewish students, preventing them from moving, and screaming at them that “from the river to the sea/Palestine will be free,” which is a call for the Jewish state to disappear and to be replaced by “Palestine.” More on Mohsen Mahdawi, who posted online his desire to see not just Israelis, but all Jews, to be “annihilated,” can be found here: “Liberal leaders who protested Mahdawi’s deportation silent about his antisemitic, pro-terror posts,” by Haley Cohen and Marc Rod, Jewish Insider, September 3, 2026:
Many of the liberal Jewish and civil rights organizations and lawmakers who protested federal efforts to deport Columbia University anti-Israel protest leader Mohsen Mahdawi are so far silent on new revelations about Mahdawi’s lengthy history of antisemitic and pro-terrorist social media posts.
Mahdawi, a graduate student at Columbia facing deportation for his role in campus protests, wrote posts over the span of 15 years that supported armed violence and called to “annihilate the Jews,” according to a 100-page investigation published Wednesday by journalists David Collier and Rachel Feldman — with Arabic-to-English translations confirmed by Jewish Insider.
Mahdawi, a 35-year-old green card holder and West Bank native, pledged in a 2010 Facebook post, “soon, very soon, we will annihilate the Jews.” He also praised Hamas and honored deceased terrorists in several posts on Instagram and Facebook, declaring that Palestinians have the capacity and conviction “to kill and to wound.”
Some of the posts were published as recently as 2024, while Mahdawi was an undergraduate student at Columbia, where he is now enrolled in the Ivy League’s School of International and Public Affairs….
There was plenty of antisemitic behavior by the pro-Palestinian students on various American campuses, including Columbia, where Mahdawi led the anti-Israel protests. At some, Jewish students were surrounded and held captive, while their captors screamed at them; they were prevented from going to the library, attending classes, or returning to their dorm rooms. Jewish and Israeli professors had their classes invaded by protesters who made it impossible for them to teach. Anti-Israel slogans were scrawled on the walls of Hillel buildings, such as “It is right to rebel; Hillel go to hell!” and protesters standing at the entry to those buildings chanted phrases like “How many kids did you kill today?” At several campuses, Hillel buildings were vandalized.
Should Mahdawi be allowed to exploit our free speech rights in order to spread a message of genocidal hate? What do Becca Balint or Bernie Sanders, or Peter Welch, who condemned Mahdawi’s arrest, say about Mahdawi now, when his many posts calling for the “annihilation” of the Jews have come to light? They are keeping mum, trying to figure out how to explain away these genocidal postings by the man they’ve all been supporting.
Jewish Insider says that “his extreme anti-Israel stance and support for terrorist groups has been public knowledge for years.” Was his support for terrorist groups “public knowledge for years”? If so, then Balint, Sanders, and company have some more explaining to do. Or do they think Hamas is not a “terrorist group”?
How inconvenient for the Real Mahdawi to be exposed from his posts as a genocidal antisemite, after so many of our leftwing Great and Good have worked so hard to protect him. And now they are trying to figure out what to say. Perhaps, they will claim, “the Mahdawi quotations must have been planted by Mossad; the Mohsen Mahdawi we know would never write such things.” Or, in the alternative, “Mohsen Mahdawi admits that at one time he thought such things, but that was long ago, and he thinks very differently today.”
Sorry. It just won’t wash. Those posts went on for fifteen years. Cut your ties to Mohsen Mahdawi right now. The longer you wait to do so, the worse it will be for you. Egg on your face is the least of it.

Two questions: How on earth did this piece of 💩 get admitted to any graduate school at an Ivy League school AND was he given any scholarship and/or student loans (particularly those backed by the US government, and therefore American taxpayers)? Think of all the American kids that go through high school and work their asses off only to be turned down when it comes to admissions to Ivy League universities. Think about all the parents who either save from the time their child is born to afford somewhere like that or go deeply into debt borrowing money to send them there. Now it may be true that a degree particularly in social sciences from these schools is now nothing more than a good alternative to toilet paper But for those who do care and are curious, I’d sure like to know the answer to these questions This piece of💩 should be deported immediately, but there may be unlikely are others

You don’t know?
You can simply forget it if you’re a white conservative student from middle America.
They can smell you out, they can see how you look where you’re from, you will be denied FOR SURE. Some token conservative students from rich families like Trump can get it.
The other spots are not for us. The left runs admissions and you’re simply not going, the Muslims are going. The Chinese, the left wing extremist are taken in. These are the facts on the ground this decade.
These institutions started as Christian institutions, and now white Christians are not allowed, but radical Islamists? They’re actually welcomed because they’re on the same side as admissions in the war against America.

“ How on earth did this piece of 💩 get admitted to any graduate school at an Ivy League school?”
Why, that would be that great and good program known as Diversity, Equity and Inclusion whereby, in the infinite wisdom of the powers-that-shouldn’t-be at these enlightened institutions, a horde of non-deserving young people, often those who loathe America and definitely loathe the Jews, are given the opportunity to enrich the universities with their endless malice and mindless hatred.
I know whereof I speak, as a parent of one those “American kids that go through high school and work their asses off only to be turned down when it comes to admissions to Ivy League universities”. I can tell you with almost scientific precision that my child had higher objective qualifications (almost perfect SAT etc) than did a certain female classmate of his at high school, of Muslim persuasion, who was admitted to Yale.
The DEI we are talking about is a cancerous malignancy in this country.
Beans🫘 says
They could probably smell her out. They can smell a conservative student, or if their parents are conservatives. The admissions is not far left, it’s extreme activist left. They don’t want her, they want activist Muslims, black panther black types.
The Muslims will make a difference in the world that benefits the leftists there. They are pro Palestine and Islam is the boss at these campuses.
Your child is a Hitler youth to them. No exaggeration. They don’t want that around picking up connections, opportunities and influence. They want that Muslim, they’re the golden ones.

I’d normally say “Deport him!” but I don’t want Israel to be stuck w/ him either. Can he be sent to Yemen instead? Maybe the Houthis can use him
Siddhi Nasranni says
Send him to Allah, the moon God.
somehistory says
Take his green card and send him to afghanistan or syria. He’d fit in better in either of those places.
Perhaps El Salvador needs someone to replace the goon they sent back to the U.S.
Rick Gordon says
What does the NYT think of this? How about WaPo? Does anyone in the national media organizations report on this? Does anyone care in the current federal administration?
Are these articles/essays sent to anyone in government?
somehistory says
I could be mistaken, but I believe that at one time, the federal government had an office/agency which looked through various publications for information on the public, what people were saying, and if there could be information they could use in some governmental way.
I don’t know if that office still exists.
Huh?!? says
No. You cannot destroy Isreal. The Word of the Holy God in the Holy Bible makes that clear. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Vote! Vote! Vote!

When is the POS getting deported AND why was he ever allowed in the U.S. to begin with?
We, as all non Mo prophet followers, need to SUE the USCIS (immigration department). Why do they allow those that follow a religion, whose god and prophet MANDATE they eliminate all “infidels?” That not just Jews, but Christian’s, LGBTQS, Catholics, Hindus, Atheists, and everyone else?
Did anyone hear that Congress has allowed HALAL butchering of animals without stunning or doing anything to prevent the animal from withering in pain while it bleeds to death? What is wrong with these savages – and Congress?
Also, these universities were supposed to be investigated, which Trump promised. As a Trump voter – he’s a disappointment. Does he think it’s just Jews who will suffer? NO, but everyone if we don’t get these monsters out of our nation and schools.
ploome says
another attempt at co-opting Jewish practice and pretending it is essential….mainly to assert control-
the koran states (somewhere) that Jews can eat halal…..not true….halal is not kosher
everything that is of benefit on earth, and what man may attain thereof and make use of, is permissible so long as there is no evidence to indicate that it is prohibited.
what is haram, what is halal

I bet that 99 or maybe 100 per cent of evil Muslims would agree with what this shithead says. I feel the same about islam and Muslims. If Islam was extinct along with all it’s cult members the world would so much more peaceful, decent and civilised , there’s no doubt about that. Islam has brought nothing but misery to the non Muslims for 1400 years. What a disgusting load of evil filth Islam is in endless ways. If there is a god and god is as evil as Allah then no human being should follow such a rotten god.

Shapeshifter.
Does he spend much time in class or is he MIA most of the time but that’s ok? He has more important other duties?
Take his name: truncate the h, rotate the w on the horizontal axis, and swap.

Out pops hizzoner.
And somebody looking like hizzoner was seen slinking into the Looksmaxx phone box which was previously the last phone box ever used by Superman. Today you put in some coins and get bashed around by an array of boxing gloves for as long as you can pay or can suffer it -masochists just love it and never complain.
In this case after quite a while someone who looked liked El Sayed came out. A bit of envy helps you to endure being pummeled and so attain your goal: taller (or seems so), broader, has a more authentic beard, actually has and has had a real job, a medical doctor, so the women go crazy as they do for the big 3M, Money, Medical Doctor and Maxxlooks, and so what’s not to like, and with Senator in the bag you can give up being a middle-aged post-grad-student or the hizzoner of a big dirty Third-World city since in either case you don’t care about all that stuff and anyway nobody will care if you are gone.

All the scum who support or enable Hamas should receive what Hamas gave on Oct 7, deportation is too soft.
