1/ Now that Mahmoud Khalil has been taken into ICE custody, his supporters are spinning a sob story about why you should feel sorry for him. Here’s why you shouldn’t—and why this is exactly what needs to happen to restore order to campuses like @Columbia and our country. 🧵👇

Campus life isn't great right now, especially for Jewish students. We're a group of alums working to change that. Follow for updates.
- Everyone’s upset that ICE detained @Columbia student Mohsen Mahdawi. Before you cry your eyes out read this👇 Mahdawi started college in 2008... when Blackberries were the #1 mobile phone and PCs ran on Windows Vista. Per his LinkedIn, he spent 6 years at Birzeit University,
- Privilege is when you hold a loudly disruptive, all-night hate festival in the center of campus, sleep in cozy, matching tents, and when the grown-ups finally force you to leave, custodians who work hard for a living are called in to clean up your mess.
- NEW VIDEO: When Jewish @Columbia students called to release the Bibas babies last winter, Mohsen Mahdawi BLARED A SIREN in their faces—and SMIRKED. You really think this 35-year old man, who's been an undergrad for 16 years, is just a 'student' exercising free speech?

00:00 - Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni7/ Khalil has spent over a year abusing the privileges this country and @Columbia gave him. He faced zero consequences—until now. If he is now FINALLY being removed as an antisemitic instigator and anti-Western provocateur, this isn’t a tragedy. This is justice. @TheLeoTerrell
- Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni5/ Reportedly, Khalil's green card is being revoked. Good. A green card is a privilege that millions wait years for. So is studying at @Columbia. Khalil threw them away. His actions prove he neither respects nor deserves the shot he was given. No one should feel sorry for him.
- BREAKING: We're hearing reports of significant police activity around campus. Our hearts are breaking for thousands of students who came to @Columbia whose dream of learning has been devastated by a circus of narcissists, egged on by irresponsible faculty.
- COURAGE is when you're a night-shift custodian, who protects students by taking on a masked intruder all by yourself - while cosplaying, tenured professors in matching safety vests sit outside, letting others implement the doctrine of destruction they teach. @Columbia University
- Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni6/ Khalil's supporters report that he “recently graduated”. If so, how and why was he on a CLOSED @BarnardCollege campus? He knew full well he didn’t belong there and he snuck onto campus for the express purpose of interrupting the learning of others.
- Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni4/ No one forced Khalil to barge onto campus, disrupt learning, or take over buildings. No one forced him to lead mobs that demonize America, or harass and intimidate Jews. This was his choice.
- Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni2/ Khalil wasn’t just another protester. He was a ringleader of the chaos at @Columbia . Here he is acting as 1. spokesperson for Hamilton Hall takeover 2. ringleader at Milstein Hall occupation 3. distributed materials supporting terrorism
- Replying to @CU_JewishAlumni3/ For over a year, @Columbia coddled Khalil. They excused him. They negotiated with him. They suspended and then un-suspended him. He responded by escalating with more and more DEMANDS.
- Who tweeted today about antisemitism on campus? Mayor Eric Adams Governor Kathy Hochul (D) Rep Elise Stefanik (R) Rep Ritchie Torres (D) Meghan McCain (R) The White House (D) Congrats @Columbia leaders. You've created bi-partisan consensus on total failure to DO YOUR JOBS.
