[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When you are overtly advocating for violent terrorism, this is a risk. He was espousing terroristic activity. It’s literally a law. [/quote]

Get your facts straight.

He never advocated for violent terrorism.

That is a LIE. Fox News told you that, right? Or Dumpus? Lies LIES LIES.

He's been arrested for exercising his First Amendment rights to speak his mind, his opinion.

DP. It's not nearly as clear cut as you suggest.

Khalil acted as a negotiator and sometimes spokesperson for CUAD (Columbia University Apartheid Divest).

CUAD explicitly and officially issued a statement supporting Hamas and 10/7. As quoted in the Times:

[i]“We support liberation by any means necessary, including armed resistance,” the group, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, said in its statement revoking the apology.

The group marked the anniversary of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by distributing a newspaper with a headline that used Hamas’s name for it: “One Year Since Al-Aqsa Flood, Revolution Until Victory,” it read, over a picture of Hamas fighters breaching the security fence to Israel. And the group posted an essay calling the attack a “moral, military and political victory” and quoting Ismail Haniyeh, the assassinated former political leader of Hamas.

“The Palestinian resistance is moving their struggle to a new phase of escalation and it is our duty to meet them there,” the group wrote on Oct. 7 on Telegram. “It is our duty to fight for our freedom!”[/i]

That's pretty damning, honestly.

I hope the Democrats have enough sense not to jump into this. [/quote]

Is it damning? I’m not sure if there is a law permitting deportation just for speech in support of a terrorist group. [/quote]

Lots to litigate. Particularly over the rights of Permanent Residents. However, I don't think we'd be here if this person was agitating and expressing support for Canada's Liberal Party. Hamas IS a terrorist organization. It bombs, kidnaps, tortures, and murders innocent people. Its members are consumed by genocidal hate and greed. The student protesters at Columbia are very much aligned with Hamas. We see it in their slogans, their literature, their demands. Supporting Hamas is no different than supporting ISIS. Those Columbia Hamas supporters should be on a watch list. And foreign agitators on student visas should be deported. But the question is the rights of a Permanent Resident. I hope this person is not deported, because by doing so it opens up a can of worms. But you need to be pretty dumb to so publicly support an extremist Islamic terrorist organization in this day and age. There are a million ways of opposing Israel without expressing support for Hamas. But Columbia students have chosen to support terrorists, and that has real consequences. [/quote]
