The U.S. is cracking down on jihadist infiltration, targeting individuals who use student visas and green cards to spread extremism on college campuses. Under President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio, the government is revoking visas and deporting those promoting jihadist ideology, such as Mahmoud Khalil, a Columbia University student accused of inciting anti-Semitic activities and vandalism.
Authorities emphasize that there is no inherent right to a student visa or green card, especially for individuals supporting terrorist groups like Hamas. The move aims to protect national security and prevent extremist influence from undermining democratic values in the U.S.
This action highlights the battle against jihadism not only militarily but ideologically, particularly in Western institutions. The discussion also draws lessons for Israel, stressing that it must remain a safe haven for the Jewish people by resisting jihadist infiltration.
Additionally, the transcript acknowledges that not all Arabs support jihadism, showcasing voices from Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria who are speaking out against extremism. The message is clear—freedom-loving nations must stay vigilant, stand strong, and reject those who seek to destroy them from within.
The War on Jihad: A Two-Front Battle
The deportation of jihadists has begun as the United States cracks down on individuals spreading extremism on college campuses.
All right, folks, Flea here. The war against jihad is both kinetic and ideological. Kinetic means physically fighting back—pushing them back, excising them, and preventing them from causing harm. But we all know there is also a narrative war happening.
Jihadists are not just attacking Israel, America, and other freedom-loving countries with missiles and bombs. They are also waging war through ideas, using platforms like TikTok, infiltrating college campuses, and spreading propaganda that undermines Israel’s right to exist and weakens U.S. support for Israel.
One of the ways this happens is through the immigration of students to American universities. They are not simply coming to study—they are here to push an agenda.
The U.S. Takes Action Against Jihadists on Campuses
Under President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio, the United States is fighting jihad not only on the battlefield but also by removing jihadist instigators, radical professors, and so-called students who are using U.S. campuses to spread extremism.
A major case unfolding right now involves Mahmoud Khalil, a student at Columbia University. He earned a master’s degree there, and his wife—who is eight months pregnant—is an American citizen. Despite this, Khalil has been accused of spreading jihadist ideology and engaging in acts of vandalism. Authorities believe he is a jihadist, and the government is making it clear:
“We will not allow jihadists to infiltrate American campuses, brainwash students, and destroy our country from within.”
America’s democratic principles exist to protect freedom, not to enable extremists to use those freedoms to tear the system apart. As Secretary of State Rubio stated:
“There is no God-given right to a green card. There is no inherent right to a student visa in the United States.”
Revoking Visas and Green Cards for Extremists
When someone applies for a U.S. student visa, they do not have an automatic right to entry. The U.S. can deny entry for any reason—and certainly for supporting terrorist organizations.
If a student were to openly state, “I support Hamas—a barbaric group that kidnaps children, rapes teenage girls, takes hostages, and allows them to die in captivity”, would the U.S. grant them a visa? Of course not.
If a person applies for a visa under false pretenses, then enters the country and engages in anti-Jewish, anti-American, and anti-democratic activities, the U.S. has every right to revoke their visa and deport them.
If they manage to obtain a green card, but later engage in pro-terrorist activities, that green card can and will be revoked.
This is not about free speech—this is about national security. People who should not be in the U.S. to begin with do not have a right to stay, especially if they engage in activities that undermine American values.
No one has an inherent right to a U.S. visa or residency. And being a supporter of Hamas—a terrorist organization—is a clear reason for revocation and deportation.
The Consequences of Campus Extremism
The situation is escalating on American college campuses. Some universities have become breeding grounds for extremism, and many students can no longer safely attend classes.
Parents pay massive tuition fees for their children to study at supposedly prestigious institutions, yet those students now fear walking to class because of radicalized mobs, some of whom cover their faces while screaming threats.
If someone came to America explicitly to incite chaos, they never should have been let in—and now that they are here, they must be removed.
If a person is pro-terrorist, pro-Hamas, pro-jihad, or supportive of the Iranian regime, they do not belong in America.
A Test for the Trump Administration
This moment is a major test for the Trump administration and for the future of America.
-
Will the U.S. recognize the growing threat of jihadist infiltration?
-
Will they take action to stop extremists from spreading their ideology?
-
Will they stand firm and remove those who seek to destroy American values from within?
It’s time to deport and deny entry to those who pose a threat. The U.S. must send a clear message: Jihadism will not be tolerated.
What Israel Can Learn from This
Earlier today, I was out hiking and recorded my thoughts on what this case means for both the United States and Israel.
Mahmoud Khalil and his fellow jihadists must go.
The United States should reject their student visas and revoke their green cards. We can no longer allow these individuals to hide behind the facade of liberalism and progressivism.
Let’s be clear: There is nothing liberal or progressive about protecting extremists who actively oppose democracy and freedom.
When we protect these people, they infiltrate our campuses and brainwash students—not with liberal values, but with hate, bigotry, and violence.
Israel should take notes from President Trump and Marco Rubio. Just as the U.S. is expelling jihadists, Israel must protect its own land from the threats of Nazism, neo-Nazism, and jihadism.
Israel exists to be a safe space for Jewish people, a nation meant to protect its citizens. Jihadists do not belong within its borders.
Mahmoud Khalil and his supporters must be sent back to where they came from. If they want to destroy their own homelands, that’s their choice—but they will not be allowed to destroy free nations like the U.S. and Israel.
The Battle Against Jihadism Continues
This battle is being fought not only through military action but also on an ideological level—and that’s just as important.
We cannot allow extremists to take over our universities, dictate public discourse, and indoctrinate future generations with hate.
At the same time, it is crucial to remember: Not all Arabs are jihadists. Many Arabs and Muslims are actually fighting against jihad, trying to save their civilizations from extremism.
There are brave voices from Yemen, Lebanon, and Syria speaking out against jihadists. These individuals risk their lives to challenge terrorism and radicalism.
Final Thoughts: A Call to Action
To those watching—this fight is far from over.
Israel was not created to be just Innovation Nation—it must also be Liberation Nation.
It is time to liberate Arabs and Persians from the grip of jihadism and tyranny. The Middle East can be a better, safer place—but only through strength, vigilance, and faith.
God bless you all. Stay strong. Stay free.
