re: Mahmoud Khalil pens op-ed comparing ICE detention to Nazi concentration camps

Try some unbiased, easy to listen to, history.

Darryl Coopers, Fear and Loathing in the New Jerusalem. Spotify, etc.

The first 30 minutes might intrigue you enough for the next 30 minutes.

It’s heavily criticized by Palestinians and Jews as being biased to the other.

As he says, over and over, from both sides, “what would you do?”

That’s my offering to you, my friend. We’re both Americans, and I’m sure you, like me, just want what’s best for Americans.

How in the world does Rachel Corrie find her way into a Mahmoud Khalil thread?

The same way October 7 finds itself in this thread.

Does he get to eat?
Has he sucked up any poisonous gas?

I wonder has he had to sleep on his elbows and knees to keep from freezing to death. That conductive heat loss with your body lying on a freezing slab of concrete is bad news.

So the downvoter didn't read the book. Got it!

You ran away from my answer to your earlier post...What if you offered that dog it's own yard and governance in 1994, 2000 and 2008 and it rejected it and began lobbing bombs at your house?

The worst possible punishment one could sustain is being incarcerated in Jena, so I get his perspective.

You asked how a person unrelated to Khalil made her way into the thread. I responded that it happened the same way an event unrelated to Khalil made its way into the thread.

What a bizarre answer.


Oct 7th "made its way into the thread" because the grotesque, hate-filled, antisemite, whom you seem to be defending, put it there --- square in the crosshairs. Khalil said “The act of Palestinian resistance on October 7, known as the Al-Aqsa Flood, breached Israeli security and made significant military advances,” adding that it was “a day that will go down in history.” He's issued not one word of condemnation for the deaths of innocent kids, the rapes, the immolation of families in their dwellings, or the kidnappings which occurred.

His good friend and CUAD co-leader said “Zionists don’t deserve to live” and “Be grateful that I’m not just going out and murdering Zionists.” It was a threat which received no condemnation from Khalil, whatsoever. NONE! At the same time, CUAD was freely referring to any identifiable Jews on campus as "Zionists."

Did you catch that?
You have no problem with it?

So in the process, Jewish students at CU have been threatened, harassed for their faith, spat on, impeded from accessing facilities. and physically assaulted by Khalil's hate-filled antisemitic group. In the meantime, Khalil holds up his hands like Baghdad Bob, denying involvement in or endorsement of violence .... which for a praiser of Oct7th (among other things) is obviously farcical. There is plausible deniability, and there is implausible deniability. Khalil's is the latter. He's the David Duke of Campus Anti-Jewish Groups.

If you and others want to bring up an event that Khalil had nothing to do with

He praised it.

You don’t want to call the guy who shot and killed an attendee at a Trump rally part of “Trump’s group”

I've asked you a couple of times what in the world you are talking about with this "analogy," i.e., a reference to Butler or something else. You've refused to clarify. So at this point, I'll just make a blanket statement that it appears to be as idiotic, mindnumbingly stupid an analogy as could be imagined in a subject such as this. Perhaps that will provoke a clarification if there is one to be made. Perhaps not.

you never miss an opportunity to claim Khalil was personally affiliated with every person who attended the same protest as he did

Link?
While you're at it, please link Khalil criticizing the conflation of campus Jews and "Zionists." Please link Khalil criticizing his gay, black friend and CUAD co-leader for promoting the murder of all so-called "Zionists."

Khalil is hate-filled garbage. It's one thing to promote a cause (i.e., I support Ukraine). It is another entirely to threaten, intimidate, or attack students on campus for no reason but their heredity or religious faith (i.e., I support Ukraine => Death to all people from Russia or descended from Russians). Khalil led a hate-filled group which consistently, reliably, predictably does the latter.

You mean part of Bibi’s Likud party? Since that is their party’s slogan and all?

Funny how one side uses the same slogan and is somehow immune to the criticism.

It seems we disagree only a little. Hence, this is out of nowhere...

What is it about Israel that you love so much to continue to pour US tax dollars, US lives, and US reputation into? What makes them your favorite nation?

So you don't believe that we should be pouring US tax payer dollars into Israel's defense and aggression? I'm sorry if I assumed incorrectly.
