everyone lucked the hell out on the terror attack today where the co-pilot stabbed the pilot, passengers took down the attacker *and* there seem to have been two off-duty pilots who were able to land the plane safely. Could have been one of the worst attacks for a while otherwise.

There was one thing the interview did not get into and that is the nature of the case against him - Khalil has a green card and is being threatened w deportation solely for 1st Amendment activity. The Trump admin is trying to revive the red scare McCarren act deportation machine

The entire NPR interview w Mahmoud Khalil, about his new memoir, is worth listening to, but I esp loved his description of the Columbia encampment and the feeling of solidarity during the Palestine encampment mvt
KHALIL: I believe the Palestinian movement or the movement for Palestinian liberation at Columbia was really rooted in dignity, safety and equality for everyone. And we are so proud to have built this movement with our, you know, Jewish peers, whether they are students but also faculty. And to me, the movement itself - absolutely, there was no antisemitism. There was no place for antisemitism there.
And that's why I keep repeating again and again against, like, the narrative that Columbia itself helped push, because, you know, we must take antisemitism seriously, like all forms of bigotry. We have also to acknowledge when antisemitism is being used or weaponized to chill or, like, to protect Israel from criticism. And I went to Shabbat dinners. At the encampment, there were Seder meals. And that's where I learned a lot about the Jewish faith, about why these Jewish students were also protesting Israel, because they refused - all these crimes that Israel is committing was basically committed in their names. And they refused that to happen.

The "all anti-Zionism is always and forever antisemitism" people and the "all antisemitism becomes fine if we just say it's anti-Zionism, even if we're ranting about the Talmud" people reinforce one another, even if both sides utterly fail to see it.

Significant numbers of leftists think Mayor Mamdani has betrayed the left by putting out an anti-antisemitism plan at all, and groups that claim to fight antisemitism like the ADL are giving Mamdani zero credit because he has not suddenly endorsed Zionism, and I am caught between and I am tired.

Half of Obama's own party threw a tantrum over his novel "don't do stupid shit" doctrine in relation to Iran. Trump then immediately tore the JCPOA up to little resistance. The next president did next to nothing to try and revive it and instead spent 3 years begging Saudi to be friends with Israel.
