(Algemeiner) Mahmoud Khalil, an anti-Israel activist and former Columbia University graduate student, refused to condemn the Palestinian terrorist group Hamas during an appearance on CNN on Tuesday.
In the contentious interview, Khalil sidestepped repeated questions about Hamas’s Oct. 7, 2023, invasion of and massacre across southern Israel, in which Palestinian terrorists murdered about 1,200 people and kidnapped over 250 hostages while perpetrating mass sexual violence.
When pressed by CNN host Pamela Brown whether he would repudiate the group’s mass murder, Khalil said, “I condemn the killing of all civilians — full stop.”
When asked again whether he would condemn Hamas, Khalil deflected, saying that he is “very clear with condemning killing of all civilians.”
