Mahmoud Khalil opens up uncomfortable questions about October 7 - How could anti-Israel protests be so well coordinated, so fast?
American Thinker ^ | 5 Feb, 2026 | Aaron Shuster

The recent decision to expel Mahmoud Khalil from the United States has been treated by much of the media as a narrow immigration matter — a technical ruling about visa status and disclosure failures. That framing misses the larger question his case raises. Khalil’s removal invites a re-examination not just of who he is, but of what followed Hamas’s October 7 massacre — and how quickly the global response was prepared.

On October 8, before Israel had mounted any meaningful military response, before troops entered Gaza, before retaliatory operations had even been organized, massive demonstrations erupted across cities, countries, and continents. These rallies were large, coordinated, visually unified, and message-disciplined. They featured printed placards, chants in multiple languages, and identical slogans framing Israel as the aggressor and Hamas’s violence as “resistance.”

The speed and scale of these demonstrations demand scrutiny. Large protests do not materialize overnight. Anyone who has organized even a modest public rally understands the realities involved: permits, staging, sound systems, marshals, messaging, coalition coordination, transportation, and promotion. At an international level, these requirements multiply. Coordinating demonstrations across time zones and legal jurisdictions requires planning.

That reality raises an uncomfortable question: How were so many people, in so many places, ready to mobilize immediately after October 7?

To understand why this matters, we must recall what October 7 actually was. Hamas fighters breached an internationally recognized border and carried out a coordinated massacre of civilians inside Israel. Entire families were murdered in their homes. Concertgoers were hunted and executed. Women were raped, mutilated, and paraded. Elderly civilians and children were abducted and dragged into Gaza as hostages. More than 1,200 people were killed in a single day. Over 250 were taken captive.

This was not a clash between armies. It was mass murder.

Did all involved in organizing the world-wide protests know this was about to happen?

It’s no different than just how quickly the “progressive” narrative was seized, and FIRMLY nailed into place after 9-11. I was in fourth year of undergrad when the towers came down, and was coming out of a morning lecture, when I walked into the Student Union building to see all the TVs turned to coverage from New York. The VERY NEXT DAY, there was a loosely-allied group of students from both the Muslim Students Association (MSA), and the various Campus Socialist groups, who were handing out hastily-photocopied leaflets saying that 9-11 was an “inside job” (apparently) perpetrated by Mossad. So yes, the propaganda machine, and the “protest on demand” racket really HAS been that well-oiled for years and years now.

Most of the supposedly “spontaneous” (and therefore impliedly somehow more “legitimate “ in some sense) we’re so obviously pre- planned, pre- organized, methodically arranged and deployed complete with hundreds of identical pre- made signs, audio equipment and stage loudspeakers, identical publicity flyers and leaflets, pre- arranged catered foods, and almost identical crowd agitators reciting or screaming the same patently false cried- arousal Changs urging their pre- charter- bussed or rallied crowds of Useful and/ or paid idiots to riot in the desired organized “spontaneous” ways while loud-chanting or singing the same (anti- American, anti- Christian, anti- Jewish slogans and incitements to violence.

All almost identical to the entire staged bullshrir taking place down the road at the next campus, and again carbon copies of dozens of other so/ called “spontaneous” managed riots in and out of state.

Tons of anti- American money to plan, pre- organize, deploy, and stage these “demonstrations,” “protests,” riots.

Follow the money. 💰 I think we’ll find the @usual suspects” were behind most of this krap. Since it all followed the very same scheme with the same overall scripts (only the targets’ nenes ever change) as their ususl
Modus operendi (for their previous “spontaneous events” like the Occupy Wall Street, Occupy This or That, 06 January, BLM, and their “anti-fa” riots.

Notice that leftists and islamists were coordinating perfectly 25 years ago.

I’ve mentioned this before, but in the 2020 election the post office made a rule that pissed off democrats because it made it slightly more difficult for them to cheat. Within hours protesters were outside of the Post Master General’s house. Who even knows who the Post Master is, much less where he lives? Totally organized and coordinated.

Tucker Qatarlson will soon interview Mahmoud Khalil as an American “martyr for truth” against the evil Israelis running the world. 😏

Nah, he’ll use the proper “progressive” nomenclature. It’ll be all about the evil “ZioniSStSS” (replace those double esses with the appropriate fascist lightning bolts). They’re still sticking to the term “Zionist” as an increasingly-tattered smoke screen to claim it’s NOT about Anti-Semitism, after all...

I thought this muzzie SOB was deported. What are we waiting for? Get his muzzie ass out of my country. We don’t need the likes of this jackass here.

The same way that you can get an anti-Trump rally put together before sundown, and then every character has a part and a long drawn out explanation of why right is left and up is down, until the cows come home.

That’s a great point!

And the Left showing up at people’s homes needs to be pushed back upon.

We should be showing up at Boasberg’s house, and the like.
