I did not claim that he directly participated in that. If you simply google his name, in every article the word 'leader' is used to describe him in relation to the Columbia protests, protests which did include such acts.



You still haven't cited any sources that support your claim.


What claim?


He was a leader of protests at Columbia which involved physically blocking Jewish students from entering classes and other forms of overt discrimination and intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students.

This potential bullshit.


Which specific thing are you questioning?

That he was a leader of protests at Columbia? That the protests involved physically blocking Jewish students? That the protests involved intimidation directed at Jewish and Israeli students?


It was a full sentence. Try backing it up with facts. This shouldn't take a 7 comment deep thread to handle, unless maybe you are full of shit and want to bury that fact with some of your bullshit.


You are trolling or I suppose you are just upset that your guy is being deported. If there's something specific you want me to find a source for, let me know.


I'm trolling? For asking you to source one claim? This is the sixth time you've been asked to provide sources. Two people have asked. Your unsourced comment is flagged. The one source you provided does not match your claims afaict.


Ok you want the source for one of the claims?

Here's Al Jazeera calling Mahmoud Khalil a "student leader of Columbia protests":

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/9/mahmoud-khalil-stude...

You can find many other mainstream sources calling him a "leader" by simply doing a Google News search for the term "Mahmoud Khalil leader".

This is something you could have taken 2 seconds to Google. This is why you're trolling and acting in bad faith. Regardless of our discussions here, Mahmoud is being deported and many more are to come according to statement put out by the White House.

That is, again, not backing up your full claim, that the protests selectively denied access to campus facilities to Jewish students.


> For asking you to source one claim?

> not backing up your full claim

Does this help you understand your issue now?


You can't just source half a sentence. You sourced maybe 1/3 of one claim. The least important third, too.


> 1/3 of one claim

This should be your clue that there are multiple claims which is why I asked you which ones you wanted evidence for.


Still no sources, just excuses.
