Mahmoud Khalil’s Arrest is a Test: How Far Can the US-Israeli War on Free Speech Go?

Nora Barrows-Friedman, associate editor of The Electronic Intifada, joins the show to discuss Mahmoud Khalil, the Palestinian Columbia student activist abducted by DHS. Trump’s plan to deport Khalil, a permanent resident and the lead negotiator in Columbia’s Gaza Solidarity Encampment marks a dangerous escalation in the Trump administration’s crackdown on the Palestine solidarity movement. Barrows-Friedman puts the crackdown into context as Israel ratchets up its starvation campaign of Gaza.
