Exclusive:
If you have fallen for the PR blitz surrounding Mohsen Mahdawi, the Palestinian student who loves peace and Jewish people, then sit down and hold onto something.
You’ve been fooled. It is time to meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The @nytimes painted Mohsen Mahdawi as a saint. Vermont State Senator Becca White fell over herself to call Mohsen her friend. The PR campaign would have you thinking ICE arrested Mother Theresa.
Does nobody look behind the mask? It took me two days to find holes in the story.
We start with his back story. Mohsen says he was 10 when his best friend was shot in front of him in the al-Fara refugee camp. I checked the fatalities database for the time period. When he was 10 years old NO CHILDREN AT ALL were killed at his camp.
Something is wrong.
In fact the only child killed in the al-Fara camp during the Second Intifada was named Mohammed – and he died because of an explosive gas canister. He also died in a field. Every detail Mohsen gave about the event appears to be wrong.
But we shouldn’t be surprised. Only four people died in total during those four years in his camp. If only four people died over the course of four years, how did Mohsen scrape seven bodies off the wall in one night?
Did nobody bother to check any of his stories?
Then there is Mohsen’s family. He posted an image of seven people to his social media, mourning all of their deaths. I identified four. All were terrorists killed while fighting the IDF. His entire family appears to be terrorists – or terrorist supporters. Here is one of them.
And look how he lies about his own family, too. Mohsen claimed in an IG post that his two cousins were 'assassinated' -saying "an Israeli sniper unjustly shot the two brothers in the head." In fact they died because they shot at Israeli soldiers and the soldiers shot back.
Vermont Senator Becca White almost fell over herself to whitewash Mohsen Mahdawi's dubious history. Is she extremely gullible in general or just totally blinded by the Palestinian flag? Several other politicians have fallen into the same dangerous rabbit hole
And I uncovered even more. Mohsen's propaganda origin story has him focusing on education after a talk with his uncle in the early 2000s. In reality in 2012 he was opening Facebook groups that glorified serious, convicted terrorists:
In his Facebook group Mohsen promotes a show that ‘highlights the sacrifices of our martyred heroes, prisoners, and wounded.’ The show basically involves Mohsen’s mother going to the homes of the worst terrorist prisoners. He posts loads of these videos glorifying terrorists.
Mohsen also posts images glorifying and honouring terrorists. In this image he has posted a picture of his mom, praying at the grave of Satan Al Wadi, a terrorist who ran a suicide cell on the Golan Heights.
There is far more information on these videos in the article below, but look at this one – posted by Mohsen in 2014 – probably in the months he was preparing to go to the US. In the next post you will see a clip of some of the genocidal antisemitic content inside
Mohsen Mahdawi posted and promoted this in his own Facebook group: The Khaybar chant - an explicit call for a massacre of Jews, Vermont US Senator Peter Welch defended Mohsen as standing up against antisemitism. Mohsen’s own behavior strongly suggests otherwise.
The bottom line is really scary. If Mohsen was Chinese or Russian and spent a decade radicalising students on US campuses, if he had a dodgy backstory, came from a terrorist family and spent his life promoting extremist positions, no US politician would go anywhere near him.
But he is not Chinese or Russian. He is a Palestinian - and that changes everything. Politicians, activists, NGOs and the media are blind to an antisemitic genocidal fetish. It is almost as if their collective brains all just fall out. And this presents a real danger.
There's no excusing any of this. The man who can do no wrong lied and promoted deadly terrorists and genocidal antisemitic chants. The media is failing us. The politicians are failing us. The truth is staring at us in the face but nobody wants to see it.
Mohsen Mahdawi’s backstory does not make sense. His family is full of terrorists. He promoted the glorification of terrorists and shared genocidal antisemitic chants. There is a lot more information in the article . Read the full shocking story. david-collier.com/mohsen-mahdawi…

Dear @nytimes, I have a serious question about your journalistic standards and blind spots. I can lay i t out in eight posts. This is one of eight.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
On Friday you published a 'guest essay' from Mohsen Mahdawi - the Palestinian professional student with a lifetime of supporting terrorism and lying about it.
In the article Mohsen talks about his dead uncle and seeing his best friend murdered when he was 11.
Yet in a piece you wrote three weeks ago that is best described as a student’s “My Personal Hero” essay - you reminded readers that Mohsen's uncle had sat with him for a life-changing discussion - and they sat together by the grave of his best friend.
Today: A Vermont interfaith group will stage a protest in the Vermont House Chamber and hold events in the state capitol - in defense of a terrorist supporter. Not a peace activist - a terrorist supporter! And he has fooled them all.
Meet the real Mohsen Mahdawi.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Here is Mohsen in a genocidal mood. Posting celebration when Jews were hurt - and then hoping that EVERY JEW on the planet would die. Or liking posts about terrorist violence and burning Jews (which is exactly what we saw on Oct 7). This is Mohsen the @columbia 'hero' unmasked.
But Mohsen is mostly about lies. There is a fictional tale Mohsen has told for years. That he saw his best friend killed when he was 10. This cannot be true. No child died in his camp at that time. We have the receipts. This @60minutes @CBSNews clip shows him spreading lies.
We need to discuss the failure of key media outlets & politicians to show the truth behind Palestinian professional student Mohsen Mahdawi.
They made him look like a saint. Sold him to the world unquestioned. It is so dangerous! Why are they not doing their jobs?
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
What we know about Mohsen Mahdawi because we bothered to look:
1. Made up tragic stories about his past 2. Glorified terrorism 3. Shared Jihadist genocidal antisemitic chants 4. Spent years radicalising students
So let us look at how the media and politicians have failed us.
We can start with @60Minutes from @CBSNews
They let Mohsen describe witnessing the murder of his best friend when he was ten years old - when a simple fact check would have exposed it as a lie.
How could 60 Minutes sell him as a hero if they did not even do the basic checks?
Just weeks after @BBCNews is forced to take down a documentary because the narrator was the son of a Hamas official - it completely whitewashes two terrorist families - both tied to key figures in the Islamic Jihad.
Thread ⬇️⬇️⬇️
The article was written after Israel's recent strikes against the terrorists. The BBC only had one thing in mind - to demonise Israel.
So it uncritically parroted Hamas numbers - and portrayed Israel as bloodthirsty child killers - a classic antisemitic trope.
The article was written by Jon Donnison - an anti-Israel hack who clearly knows nothing about Gaza at all. It relies on two fathers - both grieving - and portrays the families as innocent victims of Israeli brutality...
