Speaking to Newsmax about the US administration’s actions against pro-Hamas student activist Mahmoud Khalil, Harvard graduate student Shabbos Kestenbaum said the mainstream media has concocted a narrative whereby there is a tension, as it were, between free speech and protecting Jewish students.
“You don’t get to come into this country, violate the laws you want, harass students in the name of Palestine, and then cry when your actions finally have consequences,” he wrote on X.
“This has nothing to do with free speech.”
Mahmoud Khalil is a perfect example of the "Palestine exception."
