Questions for Mahmoud Khalil

Columbia University graduate and anti-Israel activist Mahmoud Khalil has been on a public-relations tour after his brief detention while the U.S. government seeks to deport him. He now seems intent on rehabilitating his image. The press shouldn't let him get away with it. The U.S. government wants to deport him over what the State Department calls antisemitic conduct, including his alleged leadership of the terror-sympathizing group Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Mr. Khalil denies that he led the group, which, in addition to organizing acts of trespassing and property damage in and around the Morningside Heights neighborhood, has espoused support for terrorism.
