“The fight for freedom of Palestine and the fight against antisemitism go hand-in-hand because injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”

Jewish classmates of Mohsen Mahdawi speak out—

One, an IDF refuser, recalls how Mohsen met with Zionists, including those cruel to him—or how, while seeking to heal campus, he even expressed sympathy for administrators (the same who ignored his pleas for help).

Yesterday Israel killed 38 Palestinians in Gaza, among them 6 people when Israel bombed a home in Jabalia. A Pregnant woman was pulled alive from the rubble. Her husband, daughter & mother were all killed.

Can we expect to see this reported on the BBC or Sky? What do you think.

ICE needs to be careful: bring unlawfully detained people through VT and we'll remind you what the law actually stands for. #vermontByVermonters #resist #freeRümeysaÖztürk #freeMohsenMahdawi #freeThemAll

We’re living in a very dark time where people that are living ordinary lives, who are supposed to be protected by the law, are being removed, detained and deported sometimes to countries they’ve never been. Today an activist. Tomorrow a journalist. And soon political opponents. #FreeMohsenMahdawi

Palestinian student Mohsen Mahdawi of Columbia University went to a Citizenship and Immigration Services office today to take his citizenship test. Instead, ICE arrested him and began the process to deport him to the occupied West Bank.

DHS lured Palestinian green card holder with citizenship interview, arrested him & now trying to deport him TO THE WEST BANK

“It’s kind of a death sentence,” Mahdawi said. “Because my people are being killed unjustly in an indiscriminate way.”
