Anti-Israel organizer Mahmoud Khalil tore Columbia University’s management with an OP-ED published in the school’s newspaper on Friday.
Simply entitled “Letters to Colombia,” Op-Ed denounces “laying the foundation for my adduction.” He further compares President Donald Trump’s crackdown on anti-Israel protesters to Colombia’s own indifference to Palestinians, citing other students “snatched by the state.”
“The situation is strangely associated when I fled the atrocities of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria and called for the evacuation of Lebanon,” wrote Halil. “The logic that the federal government used to target itself and my peers is a direct extension of Colombian oppression playbook on Palestine.”
He went on to denounce manufacturing managers “public hysteria about anti-Semitism without mentioning the tens of thousands of Palestinians killed under bombs made with your dollars.”

He also targeted fellow Colombian students. He says it helped create a false sense of anti-Semitism spread throughout campus. He also pointed out certain students’ efforts to cover up anti-Israeli protesters, but he did not name the individual.

“If I were in Palestine, especially in light of my dual degree program with Tel Aviv University, I can’t help but think that some of these students are stopping me at checkpoints, raiding my university, piloting drones, monitoring my community, or killing my neighbors in the classroom,” he claimed.

“Columbia faculty members are pleased with tapping progressive trends on their backs, but limiting participation to performance statements. What is it necessary to resist the destruction of the university? Is it worth more than integrity in the lives and work of students?” he added.
The message comes weeks after Ice Agents took Khalil into custody in New York City in early March. The Department of Homeland Security claimed that it “led activities along Hamas, a designated terrorist organization.”

Last week, several Columbia University students were tied to the gates outside the school’s St. Paul Chapel in protest of Khalil’s arrest.

The student requested that the facility release the name of the councillor “wrote Mahmoud Khalil’s name to the ice.” The Colombia-Palestine Solidarity Commission wrote to X: “We won’t leave until our needs are met.”
The school has denied that one of its administrators has requested the presence of ICE on campus.
