It was obvious from the beginning that the student protesters were tools of Hamas. Now it turns out that they were actually an arm of Hamas. This supports, of course, the idea that those among them who are not U.S. citizens should be deported. “Columbia activists worked with Hamas, captors told rescued hostage Shlomi Ziv,” […]
Columbia Capitulates
Columbia University has agreed to a series of changes demanded by the Trump administration as a precondition for restoring $400 million in federal funding that earlier this month the government had pulled, amid allegations that the school tolerated antisemitism on campus.

Wife of Activist Trump Wants to Deport Just Tried to Blow Up the Whole Case Against Him
New in PJ Media: Mahmoud Khalil, the Columbia University anti-Israel activist whom the Trump administration has targeted for deportation, has become a darling of the left, as people who hate America so often do. The New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU) claimed Friday that Khalil’s arrest “has created a speech-chilling atmosphere of fear,” and charges that “the […]
The Elementary Distinction Between ‘Speech’ and ‘Assault’
The distinction between “speech” and “assault” is not hard to make. But supporters of Mahmoud Khalil, the alien with a green card who either took part in, or supported, the harassing and roughing-up of Jewish students on the Columbia campus, the seizure of Hamilton Hall, and the subsequent vandalism inside the building, the man who […]
Columbia U Hamas Supporter Self-Deports
Bye. There has been some pushback against the Trump administration’s bust of Mahmoud Khalil, a top figure involved in the pro-Hamas protests at Columbia University by a group that expressed its support for terrorism.

Columbia Promises to Mend its Ways, But it’s Too Late
The Trump administration has decided to withdraw federal grants and contracts from Columbia University, worth $400 million — out of the school’s annual operating revenue of $1.3 billion — because of that school’s failure to adequately deal with antisemitism on its campus, and to secure the safety of Jewish students. Now Columbia, in response, promises […]
Leftist Jews Protest Deportation of Hamas Supporter Who Terrorized Columbia
Senate Dems, Jewish leftists and jihadists protest move. Last year Mahmoud Khalil gave an interview to a Hamas media operation about his “negotiations” with Columbia University during their occupation of the campus. The violent occupation of Columbia by terrorist supporters led to riots, vandalism, assaults, terrorist propaganda and attacks on Jewish students. Instead of taking action, Columbia […]
Mahmoud Khalil, Up with Whom We Need Not Put
I was amazed when I listened at NPR on March 10, because on every newscast all day long up until 4 p.m. — I tuned into NPR on every hour, just to check — the first or second story was not about the more than 1,000 Alawite civilians murdered in Latakia, or the massacres in […]
‘Palestinian’ Muslim migrant who led pro-Hamas protests at Columbia is arrested, green card revoked
Much more of this is needed. Why must the United States play generous host to those who hate it and its allies? BREAKING: Mahmoud Khalil, a student at Columbia, has reportedly been detained by DHS and had his green card revoked. He was a lead negotiator in the 2024 encampment at Columbia and is seen […]
