It doesn’t take AI to see that George Soros is written all over the Palestinian protests. I am pro-Palestinian and anti-protestors. Why… I can’t put my finger on it only that I have been politically active for my entire adult life and have gone to gatherings and protests, etc. There is a difference in the feeling of grass roots (like the anti-vax mandate movement) and the Palestinian movement. Can you imagine shutting down a freeway by sitting in the middle of it? That’s what these protests are like… marxists feeling. I can understand the desperation in the face of genocide but it really hasn't moved the dial at all—all these protests—in fact, it’s made it worse.

For US citizens, the most important underlying aspect about Mahmoud Khalil's detention is the free speech consequences for anyone and everyone legally on US soil and not engaging in violence. "First they came for those holding green cards . . . . "

I do however pose an honest question. To what extent is Mr. Khalil's detention a distraction? Distraction from what? If I'm not mistaken this is the 12th day of the starvation siege on Gaza. If activists and pundits across the nation were not 100% focused on "Free Mahmoud" they would be demanding the Trump admin to send Witkoff over to Israel and MAKE that psychopathic stte stop starving the women, children and people of Gaza.

I DO support Mahmoud Khalil but we have to not let it prioritize other exingencies. Karl Rove said "We create reality and you react to it." Did they create the Mahmoud problem at this moment for us to put all our energies reacting to it, legitimate as our reactions are?
