Man who called himself 'human rights' activist bragged about wanting to kill Jews
A Palestinian activist at Columbia University spooked neighbors in his small Vermont town by bragging about his hatred of Jews and his background of building weapons for terrorist groups, according to interviews and 2015 police records obtained by the Washington Free Beacon.
Mohsen Mahdawi, who had recently moved to Windsor, Vt., from the West Bank, told multiple people in town that he had previously worked in a Palestinian refugee camp building guns for terrorists.
"He said his job in the refugee camp was to make weapons," a source familiar with Mahdawi said. "He bragged about friends and family wanting to kill Israelis."
Mahdawi, a leader in Columbia’s pro-Hamas movement, whom ICE detained and later released, is suing the Trump administration for revoking his green card. He described himself as a "peacemaker" in a sympathetic interview with CBS News and as a "human rights advocate" in the bio under his New York Times op-ed. He even earned a visit from Senator Peter Welch (D., Vt.), who called him a "friend" who worked with "Jewish brothers and sisters at Columbia."
But police records and interviews about his time living in Windsor, Vt., paint a drastically different picture.
"He was a very angry young man at the time," a local who knew Mahdawi in 2015 told the Free Beacon.
The Trump administration has argued that Mahdawi’s presence in the country, where he has organized anti-Israel demonstrations, undermines American national security. In court filings, the administration cited the 2015 Windsor police report, noting that Mahdawi had expressed to neighbors that he "like[d] to kill Jews."

While I am not a Jew, I have never understood the hostility toward Jews. One of my favorite teachers in High School was a Jewish woman whose husband was a banker in town. I had many Jewish friends at the University of Texas. After law school, I often worked with Jewish lawyers on cases.
