CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY AUGUST 10, 2025
YOU REMEMBER MAHMOUD KHALIL, THE SUPPOSED GRADUATE STUDENT WHO LED THE ANTI-ISRAEL, PRO-PALESTINIAN CAMPUS RIOTS AT COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY. HE WAS ARRESTED AND SENT TO DETENTION WITH THE PURPOSE OF DEPORTING HIM FOR VIOLATING CONDITIONS OF HIS GREEN CARD, BUT THEN ORDERED RELEASED BY A FEDERAL JUDGE.
KHALIL DID AN INTERVIEW WITH EZRA KLEIN’S NEW YORK TIMES PODCAST.
KHALIL SAID THE MURDER OF ISRAELIS ON OCTOBER 7, 2023 AND THE TAKING OF HOSTAGES WAS NECESSARY SO THAT SO-CALLED PALESTINIANS WOULD NOT BE LEFT BEHIND IN THEIR QUEST FOR A STATE SHOULD SAUDI ARABIA MAKE A DEAL WITH ISRAEL.
KHALIL KEPT SAYING “WE” DURING THE INTERVIEW, ALIGNING HIMSELF WITH HAMAS. NEW YORK REPUBLICAN CONGRESSWOMAN ELISE STEFANIK SAID KHALIL SHOULD BE “IMMEDIATELY DEPORTED.” SHE’S RIGHT. THERE IS NO RIGHT TO COME TO THE U.S. AND FOMENT VIOLENCE AND ANTI-SEMETISM.
HAVE YOU WONDERED WHY THE ARAB WORLD WON’T CARVE OUT SOME OF ITS LAND FOR A PALESTINIAN STATE? IT MANY OF THEM WANT TO ERASE TINY ISRAEL AND ARE USING GAZA AND ANY OTHER EXCUSES TO DO SO. NOW ISRAEL APPEARS READY TO RE-OCCUPY GAZA. IF THEY DO, THEY WILL DO A BETTER JOB HELPING PEOPLE THERE THAN HAMAS HAS DONE. I’M CAL THOMAS.
