They see their security as inextricably bound up with that of other minority groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAny Jew who thinks this is going to start and stop with a few Palestinian activists is fooling themselves,\u201d Amy Spitalnick, who runs the Jewish Council for Public Affairs and identifies as a progressive Zionist, said on social media on Monday morning. \u201cOur community should not be used as an excuse to upend democracy &amp; the rule of law.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Khalil, who is married to an American citizen, was detained on Saturday by federal immigration officers, in a striking escalation of the Trump administration\u2019s efforts to crack down on what it sees as a scourge of antisemitism on college campuses. He is being detained <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/nyregion\/mahmoud-khalil-ice-louisiana.html\">at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility<\/a> in Louisiana. A federal judge in Manhattan on Monday ordered the government not to deport Mr. Khalil while the judge reviewed legal filings challenging his detention.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Khalil\u2019s arrest sparked alarm among immigration advocates and lawyers about how the Trump administration <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/10\/us\/trump-rubio-khalil-columbia-student-protests.html\">will justify revoking his green card<\/a>, an unusual step that, in a vast majority of cases, follows a criminal conviction.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Monday, President Trump said on social media that the detention represented \u201cthe first arrest of many to come.\u201d He called Mr. Khalil \u201ca Radical Foreign Pro-Hamas Student.\u201d The White House\u2019s X account wrote, \u201cSHALOM, MAHMOUD,\u201d using the Hebrew word for \u201cgoodbye\u201d as well as \u201chello\u201d and \u201cpeace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on social media after the arrest that he planned to revoke \u201cthe visas and\/or green cards of Hamas supporters in America so they can be deported.\u201d Mr. Khalil\u2019s precise orientation with the group Columbia University Apartheid Divest, which has spoken approvingly of Hamas\u2019s attack, is unclear. He has described his role to reporters as a negotiator and spokesman.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If the Trump administration and its partisans were united in supporting the raid, the American Jewish community, in whose name Mr. Trump appeared to say he was acting, was notably divided.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On one side were some Jewish groups like the A.D.L., which saw Hamas\u2019s attack on Israel as inaugurating a new era of heightened antisemitism that required \u201cbold, brave\u201d responses.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rabbi Moshe Hauer, executive vice president of the Orthodox Union, favorably contrasted the arrest in a statement with previous \u201cdrawn-out bureaucratic processes\u201d that he said failed to address campus antisemitism. \u201cNew, aggressive, and legal tactics are clearly needed,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ari Shrage, the co-founder of the Columbia Jewish Alumni Association, said the group\u2019s criticism of campus protests and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/CU_JewishAlumni\/status\/1898819027822338104\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">its praise of Mr. Khalil\u2019s arrest<\/a> should not be mistaken for a desire to crack down on speech.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have a problem with students taking over buildings, which prevents students from going to class, and distributing pro-Hamas materials which advocate for violence against Jews,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But for several left-wing Jewish groups, the arrest signaled creeping authoritarianism.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIt is utterly despicable that they are carrying out this authoritarian lurch under the guise of fighting for Jewish safety,\u201d Eva Borgwardt, the national spokesperson for IfNotNow, a Jewish group that is often critical of Israel, said of the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Sophie Ellman-Golan, the director of strategic communications for Jews for Racial and Economic Justice, added, \u201cJews, regardless of where they stand on political activism and organizing, feel in their bones how deeply dangerous this is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">That sentiment was echoed during a news conference near Columbia on Monday evening by several Jewish professors and activists who accused the Trump administration of using genuine antisemitism as a pretext to further its goals of deportation and limiting free speech.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s happening on this campus \u2014 or to this campus \u2014 is not about protecting Jews,\u201d said Marianne Hirsch, a retired English professor and Holocaust scholar whose parents were Holocaust survivors. \u201cPro-Palestinian speech and activism does not mean a lack of safety for Jews,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Joseph Howley, a classics professor at Columbia who has supported the pro-Palestinian demonstrations, said in an interview that Mr. Khalil, whom he knows, is \u201cdedicated to negotiation, mediation and finding peaceful agreements to conflicts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Professor Howley also noted that Mr. Khalil did not obscure his identity. Opponents of the protests, including the A.D.L., have blamed some protesters for wearing masks to hide their faces. Several faculty members even <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.columbiaspectator.com\/news\/2025\/01\/28\/columbia-professor-submits-mask-ban-proposal-to-university-senate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">proposed<\/a> a universitywide ban on face coverings at classes and other events.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But Mr. Khalil\u2019s is a familiar face to critics and supporters alike. Over the past week, Mr. Khalil has been singled out on social media by critics of the protests.<\/p>\n<p>The dispute among Jewish organizations represents more than just the general polarization of American life. Mr. Khalil\u2019s case highlights fundamental tensions in the American Jewish community\u2019s sense of how best to ensure its own security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The American Jewish establishment has long defended civil liberties and the rule of law, seeing them as crucial bulwarks against the kinds of threats that many Jews fled Europe and elsewhere to escape. But American Jews are also vigilant against antisemitism, and for many people, supporting Israel has long been central and viewed as part of that vigilance.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch, senior rabbi of the Stephen Wise Free Synagogue in New York City, said that defending Jews from supporters of Hamas \u2014 designated a terrorist group by the U.S. government, he noted \u2014 is of paramount concern.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the same time, he argued for protecting civil liberties. \u201cWhat I believe,\u201d he said, \u201cis what the mainstream of the American Jewish community believes. We have always been at the vanguard of free speech.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Jonathan Jacoby, the national director of the Nexus Project, a progressive Jewish group, expressed concern that the arrest and promised crackdown would widen divides between Jews and other minority groups.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere has never been a safer and more flourishing experience than the American Jewish experience, living as a free people in an open society,\u201d he said. \u201cAnything that endangers that, or our relationships with other Americans \u2014 those are all Jewish concerns.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Columbia became the epicenter of university protests against the war in Gaza last year when students <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/04\/22\/us\/columbia-protests-encampment.html\">set up a tent city<\/a> on a campus lawn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Some Jewish students joined the protests, but others said the encampments made them question their safety and sense of belonging on campus. A <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/08\/30\/nyregion\/columbia-antisemitism-bias-report.html\">scathing report<\/a> on antisemitism at Columbia found that some Jewish students, particularly more religious ones who wore visible markers of their faith like head coverings, had been intimidated, harassed and physically attacked by protesters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cParticular aspersions cast upon Jewish and Israeli students resonate with the history of antisemitism and, given what we know about the past, such representations can lead to further acts of aggression and exclusion,\u201d the report\u2019s authors wrote last summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Nor did the confrontational protests end last school year. In January, four masked protesters <a class=\"css-yywogo\" title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/26\/nyregion\/barnard-college-student-sit-in.html\">entered<\/a> a class on the history of Israel taught by an Israeli professor. They accused Columbia of \u201cnormalizing genocide\u201d and handed out antisemitic fliers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Two of those students were expelled in February, touching off another round of protests at Barnard College, the affiliated women\u2019s college across the street from Columbia\u2019s main campus. Videos of an unmasked Mr. Khalil at the sit-in were soon circulated on social media among critics of Columbia\u2019s protest movement, with some calling for him to be deported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Shayla Colon and Sharla Steinman contributed reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originally published by The New York Times March 11, 2025 By Marc Tracy and Eliza Shapiro The arrest of a former Columbia University graduate student who gained prominence amid that campus\u2019s pro-Palestinian demonstrations has divided the American Jewish community, which finds itself trying to reconcile a longstanding focus on Jewish safety and support for Israel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10730","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.9 -
