Lawsuit Claims That Left-Wing Pro-Terror Campus Groups, Including One Headed by Khalil Mahmoud, Were Given a Heads-Up About the Coming Slaughter of October 7, and Told to Prep the Informational Battlespace

Coincidence? Or conspiracy?

While I find it hard to believe that Hamas would risk spoiling its sneak attack by giving its overseas embedded terror propaganda agents an explicit advanced notice of a coming slaughter, I can believe that they would tell their operatives "Something big is coming, start the propaganda machine up."

I think Al Qaeda chatter spoke of a coming "birthday cake" just before the 9/11 attack.

Is this what happened? Or did the various pro-terror campus groups just coincidentally start their propaganda ops shortly before the terror attack?

A coincidence is possible, for the disgusting reason that Hamas is almost always launching terror attacks, or at least plotting them and building bombs for them.

But the DOJ and FBI need to subpoena all of these groups' communications and financing.

From the NY Post:

The families of hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack are suing detained Columbia University protest leader Mahmoud Khalil and several student groups for allegedly "aiding and abetting Hamas' continuing acts of international terrorism."

The lawsuit, filed on Monday in Manhattan federal court, names Khalil as one of the heads of the anti-Israel protests that engulfed the Morningside Heights campus last year, which the families claimed effectively helped to spread Hamas' hateful rhetoric.

"Defendants in this case are Hamas' propaganda arm in New York City and on the Columbia University campus," the suit states.

"Their self-described acts in furtherance of their goals to assist Hamas have included terrorizing and assaulting Jewish students, unlawfully taking over and damaging public and university property on Columbia's campus, and physically assaulting Columbia University employees," the families added.

...

Along with Khalil, the lawsuit names Nerdeen Kiswani of Within Our Lifetime-United For Palestine, Maryam Alwan of the Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine and Cameron Jones, of the Columbia-Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace as defendants in the case.

Representatives for the defendants could not be reached for comment.
Nerdeen Kiswani was accused of leading the most vocal support for Hamas.

The families allege that as Hamas launched its brutal attack, where the terror group killed about 1,200 people and kidnapped 251 others, it put out a message abroad for it's supporters to "join the battle in any way they can."

The lawsuit accuses Khalil, Kiswani, Alwan and Jones of taking up the call and preparing to launch anti-Israel rallies at Columbia University.

"Associational Defendants have distributed pro-terror propaganda produced by and literally stamped with the logo of the 'Hamas Media Office,' " the filing claims.

...

It also goes as far as to suggest that some of the defendants had prior knowledge of the Oct. 7 terrorist attack because of the Columbia SJP's inclusion in a signed statement supporting Hamas just hours before the massacre.

"Three minutes before Hamas began its attack on October 7, Columbia SJP posted on Instagram 'We are back!!' and announced its first meeting of the semester would be announced and that viewers should 'Stay tuned,'" according to the suit.

The plaintiffs ultimately alleged that every time Hamas and its allies would put out a call for action on social media, the student groups would answer, with the encampment at Columbia's campus and the Hamilton Hall takeover serving as prime examples.

The suit argues that the defendants are not protected under the constitutional right to free speech and protest, claiming their actions were coordinated with a foreign terrorist group.

"Associational Defendants are not independent advocates; they are expert propagandists and recruiters for international foreign terrorist organizations and nation-state proxies operating in plain sight in New York City." the lawsuit adds, claiming the defendants violated America's Antiterrorism Act.

The lawsuit seeks to have the defendants charged with violating the law, as well as paying unspecified damages to the plaintiffs.

Speaking of Khalil Mahmoud: As he's suing to overturn Trump's completely-legal, completely-within-his-power-as-Chief-Foreign-Policy-Officer deportation order, it has emerged he hid his association with the Hamas-controlled fake UN "aid" agency UNRWA.

He also refused to disclose that he was a leader in the antisemitic "Columbia University Apartheid Divest" group. When they ask you to disclose all groups you're associated with for a green card, they're not really asking. They're ordering you to make maximum disclosures so that your case can be properly vetted. If you withhold that information, you're defrauding the United States, and you're a criminal.

That's a straight-up lie told on his green card application, and an automatic disqualifier from keeping that green card.

The Trump administration has accused Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student and anti-Israel protester, of failing to disclose his employment with a United Nations Palestinian relief agency on his visa application, alleging this omission warrants deportation.

Khalil, a 30-year-old green card holder who is married to a U.S. citizen, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials on March 8. In a court brief dated Sunday, the U.S. government outlined its arguments for keeping Khalil in custody while his removal proceedings continue.

The department says Khalil fraudulently applied to change his immigration status without fully disclosing his "membership in certain organization," which could be grounds for deportation.

Among those organizations was the United Nation's Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA). The relief agency was infamously stripped of tens of millions of dollars in federal funding after Israel claimed that 12 of its members took part in Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023 attack on Israel. The DOJ says Khalil did not disclose that he was a political officer of UNRWA from June 2023-Nov.. 2023.

The DOJ also says Khalil did not reveal he was working at the Syria office in the British embassy in Beirut, Lebanon, when he applied for a visa or that he was a member of Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD), which led anti-Israel protests at the Ivy League institution.

The DOJ said Sunday that the fact he allegedly lied on his application provided an "independent basis" to deport him, overriding free speech rights.

"Regardless of his allegations concerning political speech, Khalil withheld membership in certain organizations and failed to disclose continuing employment by the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he submitted his adjustment of status application," they said. "It is black-letter law that misrepresentations in this context are not protected speech."

Get. The F***. Out of my country, smelly terrorist scum.
