“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.”

New Legal Documents Show #MarcoRubio Targeted #Students for #OpEds and #Protesting

Rubio accused students including #MahmoudKhalil of supporting terrorism, but records unsealed after litigation by The Intercept undermine his claims.

by Jessica Washington, January 23 2026

Excerpt: "The students won their case last year, but until Thursday, the trove of documents remained under lock and key after the judge agreed to seal the records on the State Department’s behalf. At the request of The Intercept, the Boston Globe, the New York Times, and the Center for Investigative Reporting, Massachusetts District Judge William G. Young ultimately unsealed the records, revealing intimate details about the State Department’s persecution of students speaking out in support of #Palestine."
