These are all lies. Khalil's position is to oppose Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is the only moral position to take. Numerous Jewish groups have taken the same position; Jewish groups have often led campus protests. Anyone who supports Israel in its genocide is siding with ideological descendants of Nazis.
The government's position that a protestor at a university "would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States" is preposterous on its face. Rubio's statement contained no evidence for his assertion.
More generally, the contention that people legally in the US can be thrown out of the country--or legally harmed in any way--for taking a political position different from that of the government effectively nullifies the First Amendment.
The more extreme that Israel becomes, the more extreme becomes the repression by governments allied to Israel--and the fanaticism of Israel's supporters.
Zionism is a genocidal political philosophy that must be eradicated.
