Columbia’s student newspaper published an op-ed from graduate student Mahmoud Khalil who spoke out against the university’s administration.
In it, Khalil accused Columbia of laying the “groundwork for my abduction” and accused the Morningside Heights institution of suppressing “student dissent under the auspices of combating antisemitism.”
Mahmoud Khalil also tears into Columbia’s administration, claiming the University’s anti-Israel protests aren’t ‘rooted in antisemitism’
Khalil, currently in ICE custody in Louisiana, dictated the fiery letter through his attorneys.
In one shocking line, he compared the leadership of Columbia to World War II Nazi collaborators.
“Who can still pretend this is an educational institution and not the “Vichy on the Hudson”?”he wrote, referring to the Vichy French leaders who worked with Hitler after the nation’s conquest by Germany during the war, and who sent thousand of Jews to their deaths in concentration camps.
