"Court won't revisit ruling opening door to pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil's rearrest

A divided federal appeals court ​on Friday declined ‌to reconsider a ruling in Columbia University ​graduate Mahmoud Khalil's case ​that opened the door ⁠to President Donald ​Trump's administration re-arresting and ​deporting the pro-Palestinian activist.

The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court ​of Appeals ​on a 6-5 vote rejected ‌Khalil's ⁠request to revisit a ruling a 2-1 panel of the ​Philadelphia-based ​court ⁠delivered in January that had ​concluded a lower-court ​judge ⁠had no jurisdiction to order his ⁠release ​from immigration ​detention last year."

“I have a nuanced view of the #Zionist project that goes beyond 'Zionism is bad.'”(On what he learned from engaging with liberal Zionism)

Khalil, like the movement he came to represent, is adamant that #Zionism is racist. He opposes any two-state solution that seeks to preserve a Jewish majority in #Israel.

“Rejecting the self-determination of the Jewish people on the #Palestinian land in itself is not #antisemitism,” Khalil said during our interview. “You are denying other people’s rights in the land.”

“This is what we should aspire for: to get a place where there’s no more conflict, no more killing in that place and it’s open to anyone who wants to call it their home.”

To my Palestinian sister in ICE detention – I will carry you until you are free

One year ago, ICE arrested me for protesting for Palestine. Leqaa Kordia is still caged – also for daring to speak the truth
