Syrian-born anti-Israel firebrand Mahmoud Khalil refuses to say Hamas is a murderous terrorist organization — yet Democratic lawmakers nonetheless are rushing to hail him as a martyr.
What pathetic losers.
Asked to “specifically condemn Hamas” beyond the Oct. 7 attacks, Khalil demurred: “It’s disingenuous to ask about condemning Hamas while Palestinians are the ones being starved now by Israel.”
Wow. The former Columbia University grad student could find no bad words for Hamas but somehow managed to fault Israel for the plight of Gazans caught in a war the terrorists started.
(Civilians, by the way, might find themselves “starved” because lawless Hamas regularly hijacks international food aid.)
Any wonder the Trump administration accused Khalil of sympathizing with the US-designated terrorist group and held him in federal detention before a court forced his release?
The best Khalil could do was to spew mealy-mouthed blather condemning the killing of “all civilians, full stop.” But he drew the line at calling out Hamas by name.
He also accused his CNN hosts of “selective outrage” for, he said, not “condemning Oct. 6, where 260 Palestinians were killed by Israel.” Of course, there’s nothing to condemn, because no such thing happened.
Yet Khalil’s pro-terror narrative didn’t stop the usual gaggle of Israel-bashing and morally vile Democrats from welcoming him during his recent visit to Capitol Hill. That includes Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Reps. Rashida Tlaib of Michigan, Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, Summer Lee of Pennsylvania, Troy Carter of Louisiana and Jim McGovern of Massachusetts.

Since his time in a federal lockup, Democrats have hailed Khalil as a martyr in the anti-Trump resistance movement. But Mahmoud Khalil is no martyr. He’s a Hamas simp.
It’s bad enough that people like him are running around stirring up trouble on college campuses.
But when US lawmakers suck up to a terrorist sympathizer like him, you know this country has big problems.
