‘Mahmoud Khalil, Who Are You?’ By Sha'i ben-Tekoa

If I heard and read right, the alleged leader of the antisemitic mobs at Columbia Mahmoud Khalil was born in Syria, holds an Algerian passport, and calls himself a “Palestinian.” Which is it?
I get the “Algerian passport” part. 

• Possibly the longest chapter in my long book on the invention of the “Palestinians” is on the pivotal role of Algeria in inventing this antisemitic lie...

I have invented the term “jihadic” because the rebels did not see themselves as patriotic “Algerians.” Instead, they defined themselves solely as Muslims. 

• All serious historians writing on the uprising routinely referred to the rebels not as Algerians but Muslims.
