'Even pharoahs fell when they defied justice,' says Jewish leader on decision that Mahmoud Khalil can be deported

A Jewish leader who did not wish to be identified, spoke outside the Louisiana detention centre where Mahmoud Khali is being detained and said, “Let us not forget that abducting people, isolating them from their families and silencing their voices is the hallmark of oppression" reported The Guardian on Friday. "Even pharaohs fell when they defied justice,” he added.

Other faith leaders also spoke out. A campus minister, who identified herself as Liv, detailed the story of Jesus Christ being born in Palestine and then killed by “state-sanctioned violence”.

Meanwhile, Reverand Sarah Greene, a Unitarian Universalist community minister, said: “What we will continue to do for as long as it takes, we’ll circle around for release, for the end of genocide, for the end of colonisation, for a free Palestine, for the release of all political prisoners. We will not stop until every inch, I’m so serious, every inch of our imagination, of how free we could be, is realised.”
