Jewish students at Columbia University chained themselves to a campus gate across from the graduate School of International and Public Affairs Wednesday, braving rain and cold to demand the school release information related to the targeting and ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a former SIPA student. Democracy Now! was at the protest and spoke to Jewish and Palestinian students calling on the school to reveal the extent of its involvement in Khalil’s arrest.

Jewish students chained themselves to gates at Columbia University Wednesday in support of Mahmoud Khalil, the former Columbia student protest leader now in an ICE jail in Louisiana. On March 8th, federal agents detained Khalil at his university-owned apartment building, even though he’s a legal permanent resident of the United States. They revoked his green card.

      …I thought it was don’t vote for Harris? And yippee, it sure is great that you couldn’t be fucked to vote for the lesser of two evils. Although maybe the current burn-it-all-to-the ground (focused on both Gaza and the US), will allow some type of phoenix resurrection in a few decades. I guess time will tell if your one-issue non-voting really made a difference or not. Short term, pretty obvious fuck-up, but long term you might have been onto something all along.

        The mods here are scums who don’t care about foreign people dying at all. They care about their political party. Period.

          Yeah, I think they just don’t take moderation seriously.

          It’s all fun and games and they don’t mind abusing their power to serve their agenda or simply make their jobs easier.

          Big reason to lose faith in the moderation process entirely, at least with this team.
