Probably because what they have done to Gaza would be the main reason in my opinion.

Probably because they are exterminationist jew haters.

Are MAGA supporters willing to dismantle the US Constitution for Israel?

Many MAGA supporters are no very bright. Trump won a lot of votes from the uneducated.

Many of these people follow Trump blindly so would be ok with it if Trump says it is a good thing.

One of Trumps daughters is Jewish.

That is a big positive in my opinion.

 

Trump would never have won in the UK, we demand higher morals and accountability,he would have never made it to the top of either side of politics in the UK.

We value decency. Trump doesn’t have any. He would not have got a look in in most countries of the world.

we have a better education system. A multiple bankrupt wouldn’t cut it in the UK.

Plus he is way too old to lead the UK.

He wouldn’t qualify 

Your leader has a set of rules for whites and different rules for non whites. Your country is finished. Patriotic british people want trump as their leader

Why aren't students protesting about Hamas?

If Palestinians are being forcibly ruled by Hamas, and if Palestinians don't support Hamas, where is the outrage about that?

 

Unless of course the protestors are ok with Hamas and their human shield tactics, and Hamas' desire to wipe Israel off the map. 

Might be because of the tens of thousands of women and children killed and injured? 
Might be because they have wrecked most houses, businesses etc.?

Or it might be because they have destroyed or nearly destroyed all the hospitals?

Maybe because they cut electricity and water supplies?

Or maybe because they have restricted food and medical supplies?


I think you would find that if Palestinians were doing this to Israel that the students would be protesting about that.

You didn't answer my question. Stay focussed.

The USA has one of the highest murder rates and the highest incarceration rate in the world.

But you have the bare faced cheek to throw around the barbarian word?

You dont have much of an argument really. The US is the last free country in the world. In the UK you cant even criticize the govt online without being jailed. If i were british id be in thailand just like you

In the USA, no one should face penalties for antisemitism or any expression of dislike or disapproval of any group of people. That's a right to free speech we have in the First Amendment. If someone is breaking a rule or law while expressing their opinions, like disrupting a class or blocking entrance to a building, they can face penalties for that. However, the reason they are breaking the rules or laws should not be considered. I am not a legal expert, and this is just my opinion as a citizen of the USA.

my question was   ........ link me to the speech... not this maggot comment

This is about antisemitism on college campuses. Not sure what you are talking about but I would suggest you go live in Israel for a couple of years. See how you like it. (You know like when rockets are flying over from Gaza)! Oh and while you're there have your son or daughter taken as a hostage into Gaza. Then you'll have a real feel for the place....bye, bye.

More anti-genocide/apartheid. Trump has long ago been bought by the Israel lobby. $150m from Ms Adelson alone this election.

does anyone have a copy of this students speech ?  link me 

.... this is trump injecting his opinion into something .... i very much distrust trump and his opinions so i need to see that he is referring to in regards to the student only 

 

You seem to believe Mahmoud Khalil is being deported for making a specific speech.  That's not the case.  He was arrested and will be deported for actions in support of Hamas.  Moreover, his actions as well as his words  as one of the leaders of anti-Israel protests at Columbia harassed and threatened Jewish students.

 

A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security, Tricia McLaughlin,  "signaled the arrest was directly connected to Khalil’s role in the protests, alleging he 'led activities aligned to Hamas, a designated terrorist organization'.” She also described the arrest 

as being “in support of President Trump’s executive orders prohibiting anti-Semitism.”

https://apnews.com/article/columbia-university-mahmoud-khalil-ice-15014bcbb921f21a9f704d5acdcae7a8

 

 "This is not about free speech,"  Secretary of State Marco Rubio told reporters. "This is about people who do not have a right to be in the United States to begin with. No one has a right to a student visa. No one has a right to a greed card by the way." 

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/rubio-revoking-columbia-agitator-mahmoud-khalils-green-card-not-about-free-speech

 

"New York state Assemblyman Jake Blumencranz, a Republican, also bucked the narrative that Khalil's case is focused on First Amendment rights, saying he wasn't arrested 'for holding a sign or chanting in a quad,' he was arrested 'because he actively engaged in activities aligned with Hamas, a blood-soaked organization that massacres civilians.'

"'Let’s dispense with the nonsense — this isn’t a debate over free speech; it’s a matter of national security, plain and simple,' he said. 'The First Amendment protects words, not actions taken in service of a terrorist cause.'"

The article if reported in its true sense

 

FWIW, it's not an "article", it's an Editorial from Rupert Murdoch's New York Post, for whom the First Amendment is open to interpretation.

 

Amendment I
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

It's not unusual for the U.S. to revoke visas of students for security reasons.  Because Mahmoud Khalil considers himself Palestinian (he was born in Syria) and was a leader of anti-Israel protests, the case has attracted a lot of attention.  How many of you were aware Chinese students have had visas revoked?

 

US reveals it has revoked more than 1,000 visas to Chinese nationals deemed security risks

https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/09/politics/china-us-visas-intl-hnk/index.html

 

Those Chinese students didn't disrupt classes or threaten and harass Jewish students at their universities.

So in this case Mr. Khalil is a threat to national security?

 

The "reason" given for this detention and potential deportation seems to change often.

Yes, he is.

"White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters Tuesday that Secretary of State Marco Rubio reserves the right to revoke former Columbia graduate student Mahmoud Khalil's green card or visa.

"Leavitt said that under the Immigration and Nationality Act, the secretary of state has the right to revoke a green card or a visa for individuals who are 'adversarial to the foreign policy and national security interests of the United States of America.'" 

 

You can read more details in the linked article:   https://www.foxnews.com/politics/white-house-rubio-reserves-right-revoke-green-card-visa-anti-israel-activist-mahmoud-khalil

 

As one of the leaders of the anti-Israel group Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), Khalil has called for the destruction of the U.S. as well as Israel. This article explains the ideology behind CUAD and its actions:

 

What are the beliefs of Mahmoud Khalil’s activist group CUAD? - analysis
"The issue of law enforcement action against the group’s leadership cannot be separated from the actions and objectives of CUAD, which perceives itself as a revolutionary force working toward the destruction of the United States and Israel.

"The means to achieve this are not just through vandalism and civil unrest, which CUAD directly employs, as the group also supports terrorism at home and in the Middle East, praising the October 7 massacre as the pinnacle of revolutionary action."

https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/antisemitism/article-845664

 

 Below is a post from CUAD's Instagram page, which defends another CUAD leader, Khymani James, who said “Zionists don’t deserve to live,” basically calling for the deaths of Jewish students at Columbia.  Khalil is believed to have written this post.

The reasons haven't changed at all.  The U.S. has cited national security and antisemitic actions since Trump made his initial announcement of the move to revoke visas of pro-Hamas foreign students.

 

Pro-Palestinians have incorrectly assumed Khalil was being deported for speeches he'd made.

Great lobby to be bought by.  Best to have the Israelis on our side in case we need them to destroy Iran or keep the oil pumpers in line.

There was not just one speech. This person participated (and led, I think) in many protests that favored Palestinians and berated Israelis.
