These are all lies. Khalil's position is to oppose Israel's genocide in 
Gaza, which is the only moral position to take. Numerous Jewish groups 
have taken the same position; Jewish groups have often led campus 
protests. Anyone who supports Israel in its genocide is siding with 
ideological descendants of Nazis.

The government's position that a protestor at a university "would have 
potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United 
States" is preposterous on its face. Rubio's statement contained no 
evidence for his assertion.

More generally, the contention that people legally in the US can be 
thrown out of the country--or legally harmed in any way--for taking a 
political position different from that of the government effectively 
nullifies the First Amendment.

The more extreme that Israel becomes, the more extreme becomes the 
repression by governments allied to Israel--and the fanaticism of 
Israel's supporters.

Zionism is a genocidal political philosophy that must be eradicated.
