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.

    therefore I’ve always taken anyone who says,“I’m not antisemetic, I just think Israel shouldn’t exist (IE, anti-zionist)” is a closet antisemite at best.

    At best? Do you think Israel is a monolith with no dissenting views over what it is and should be? Do you think settlers are the same as those who just want to leave in peace with a two-state solution?
