U.S. Is Correct to Deport Jihadi-Supporting Agitators

(Telegraph-UK) Jake Wallis Simons - On Tuesday, all hell broke loose in the U.S. when the Trump administration took into custody Syrian-born Mahmoud Khalil - who spearheaded virulent anti-Israel rallies at Columbia University and distributed leaflets bearing the Hamas logo - with the intention to deport him. The group to which Khalil belonged made its ideology clear in a post on Instagram last August. "We are Westerners fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization." The episode drew outrage from civil rights groups and free speech advocates who accused the administration of silencing freedom of speech. These people seem to think that supporting jihadism equates to reasonable criticism of Israel. For years, British society has been riddled with Hamas activists, sympathizers and attendant useful idiots who have been subverting our values from within. For years, Whitehall looked the other way while charities linked to Hamas raised millions of pounds a year, which - according to Israeli intelligence - was funneled into the terror group's coffers. The streets of our major cities are hotbeds of sympathy for Hamas, with hardened jihadi activists marshalling the support of hordes of self-righteous students on many Saturdays. Several of the leaders of the marches have links with Hamas; some have been photographed meeting terror chiefs in Gaza and several have openly expressed support for the group. This is against British law, since Hamas was placed on the terrorist blacklist in 2021. The Prime Minister is correct to spend more on defense. But there is no point in making such moves to protect our way of life if we do not get serious on the enemy within. Now is the time to get serious. The U.S. has shown the way.
