Detained anti-Israel protester Mahmoud Khalil seethed with hatred for the Jewish state, according to a former classmate who told The Post he was an “insidious” presence at Columbia University.
The female graduate student, who is Jewish, said she even dropped a class they took together last fall at the Ivy’s famed School of International and Public Affairs because he made her feel so “uncomfortable” — and her formal complaints to the college fell on deaf ears.
Khalil’s laptop especially freaked her out.
It strategically sported one sticker – a map of Israel and Palestine with the Jewish state completely blacked out as if it was wiped off the face of the Earth, she recalled.
“It was just so clear that the thing driving him most in life is destroying Israel and everyone within it and anyone who supports it, and probably all Jews … That to me was scary, that something could consume you like that,” the first-year student said.
Khalil, 30, also routinely boasted in class that he headed the Students for Justice in Palestine movement at Columbia and “didn’t love Jews.”
He was a frequent no-show to class, which centered on Israeli politics, the student recalled. And when he did attend lectures, he disrespectfully interrupted his professor, who is Israeli. The student said it was such erratic behavior that drove her to drop the class — although she didn’t dare confront him.
“I just didn’t want to become a target of his,” she said.
The student, however, anonymously filed two Title VI complaints with Columbia administrators about his antisemitic rants within the group chat — but nothing ever came of them, she said.

He is the new Third Reich fascist leader. You know, like Hitler. He doesn’t belong in the land of the free. Run his Nazi ass off! ASAP!!!
Lawsuit?
As long as she doesn’t get an activist judge.
Jewish students and their parents should bury Columbia in litigation.
That’s very unfair.
Send him the Gaza and let the IDF take care of the rest..and send his hamas loving wife with him, the last thing we want is for her to give birth here in the US, send them both back before she pops out the next Hamas generation
He barely showed up to class and he wasn’t kicked out..I tell ya, loving Hamas has its perks
Probably.
But that’s how this sh*t keeps happening.
Columbia is housing for incapable students, but pricing as if it were an actual university.
Absolutely yes.
Did the university—or, for that matter, any competent arm of law enforcement—undertake even the most cursory examination of that computer and the repugnant, not to mention overtly menacing, sticker affixed to it?
I guess the Columbia administration was afraid of being seen as violating Mr. Khalil’s free speech rights...
Khalil’s lawyers will argue that Trump Administration wants to deport Khalil because he exercised his free speech rights...
Administration has to argue that Khalil is a threat to national security...Or show that Khalil lied on his application for the green card...
The immigration judge will rule in favor of Mr. Khalil if his lawyers successfully make his hearing all about First Amendment...
Meh. He was here legally and was never accused of a crime. If you think that the State will only go after your enemies, think again.
The new brownshirts (same as the old ones).
Which makes the democratic party and the ACLU....
