“From L.A. to Rafah, there is one common oppressor — Death to the colonial empire,” Hirsi wrote. “Life for our children.”

Hirsi’s message quickly circulated online, drawing concern from critics who viewed it as a glorification of political violence.
Her comments implied that both Israel’s national defense policies and America’s immigration enforcement mechanisms form part of a shared “colonial oppressor” structure.
This linkage of global conflicts with domestic law enforcement is part of a trend gaining traction among far-left activists, according to observers.

Rioters took to the streets, vandalized property, and confronted law enforcement officers, while chanting pro-Palestinian slogans and denouncing U.S. immigration policies.
Hirsi’s post was not her first statement aligning with radical protest movements.

Khalil, who is reportedly facing deportation, has been accused of sympathizing with Hamas and holding anti-American views.
CUAD, where Khalil served as a senior activist, has called for the “total eradication of Western civilization.”

Despite these associations, the fundraiser to support Khalil’s legal and living expenses raised over $570,000—more than double its initial $250,000 goal.
