"At a moment when protest leader Mahmoud Khalil has been returned from the Trump administration’s brutal and unwarranted effort to deport him—and announced his own lawsuit stemming from his detention and rendition—Shipman’s ritual banishment of other anti-war activists signaled to the White House that #Columbia will be an eager partner in the many moral panics it will continue throwing together on the fly."

Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian Columbia student who was detained by ICE on the way to his citizenship interview, was nabbed essentially on the order of the Zionist organisation Betar. They expect the Trump regime to act against their other targets, as well.

> “We confirm having repeatedly provided information on Mohaen Mahdawi,” the group said in an email in response to HuffPost’s questions Monday, apparently misspelling Mahdawi’s first name. Betar said it expected the other person it named in its March email, as well as “multiple U mass Amherst staff and students,” would soon be arrested as well, “we believe.”

> The group said, “We have nothing to apologize for,” adding: “As the forefather of Zionism, Ze’ev Jabotinsky said in 1911, No Apologies.” https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mohsen-mahdawi-arrested-citizenship-interview_n_67fd60b1e4b09c14eff576a0?d_id=8954963&ncid_tag=fcbklnkushpmg00000046&utm #Zionism #Israel #Trump #Fascism #ColumbiaU #USPoli
