Media Rallies Against Deportation of Student Who Urged Taking “Cue” from Hamas “My hatred of the US empire knows no bound” Daniel Greenfield
Momodou Taal had a simple plan. Come to America on a student visa to destroy it from within.
In one post, he wrote, “The end of the US empire in our lifetime in sha Allah.” Months later, he celebrated receiving his student visa, writing, “Student Visa issued. We going to America baby! Alhamdulillah!” Shortly thereafter, he tweeted, “My hatred of the US empire knows no bound. Wallahi.”
“When the enemy is US imperialism, then absolutely anyone the US calls an enemy is my friend,” he posted in July. “My hatred for US imperialism and the global system it reproduces knows no bounds,” he wrote one month prior. “At this point; any movement, nation, people who are working to decrease the impact and effects of US imperialism on the world has my support.”
Any sane country would never have let the likes of Momodou Taal inside. But we let him in and welcomed him in every possible way as he chanted support for Islamic terrorism.
While leading an anti-Israel campus demonstration last year, Taal called on his fellow student protesters to take their “cue from the armed resistance in Palestine.”
That is to say Hamas, Islamic Jihad and other Jihadist groups.
Taal made a similar statement hours after the October 7 attacks, writing, “The dialect demands: That wherever you have oppression, you will find those who [are] fighting against it. Glory to the resistance!”
The ‘dialect’ for that perfect synthesis of the red-green alliance.
Cornell responded to this by not only keeping Taal on campus, but letting him teach a class on how much he hates us.
Also in October 2024, Inside Higher Ed reported that Taal was “banned from [Cornell’s] campus and from teaching his course—What Is Blackness? Race and Processes of Racialization.” However, in fall 2024, Cornell released a brochure with a list of courses that included Taal’s class.
While the Biden administration let Taal rampage, the Trump administration announced that his visa was being pulled and he was told to come to ICE and surrender.
Even though Taal had left behind statements endorsing terrorism and calling for the extermination of Jews, the media and lefties are rallying on his behalf.
This is what they’re fine with.
Taal took aim at “Zionist-Jewish students at Ivy League institutions.”
“Every single Zionist is a sick sick individual,” he tweeted in 2023. “And there can be no path forward except for the complete eradication of Zionism; materially and mentally.” In another tweet, Taal wrote, “Zionists are indeed the chosen people… Chosen for hell.”
This is Nazi rhetoric. And it has the endorsement of the Left.

The JTA article is especially egregious as it describes Taal as merely a “pro-Palestinian activist”, makes no mention of his support for Hamas or the murder of Jews, but slurs Betar US, which reported him, as a “militant pro-Israel group”.
It at the end puts “Hamas sympathizers” in quotation marks.
I’ve said this before, I’ll say it again, if you live in an area with a Jewish paper, it probably runs JTA material, ask it to stop. If it won’t, boycott it.
CNN likewise covers Taal with the greatest of sympathy, tells the story from his perspective and that of his Islamist allies, and makes zero mention of his actual rhetoric, but does repeat the false claim that the actions against him are “racist, Islamophobic”.
The media is quite okay with Jewish genocide. It’s completely opposed to deporting even the worst Hamas supporter.
