UN Features Mahmoud Khalil As Keynote Speaker at UN Education Conference – HotAir

The United Nations wants every girl in the world to know that the true purpose of education is to prepare for revolution. 

No, I am serious. That is the purpose of education, and Mahmoud Khalil is an icon leading the way. 





UN-Backed Feminist Education Program Features Mahmoud Khalil Praising Terrorist Icon and Urging Student “Revolution”

Earlier this week, I attended Transform Education’s From Classrooms to Revolution, featuring Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil.

What’s troubling is that Transform Education is part of UNGEI, the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative. Instead of focusing on education, the event promoted student “revolution” as a moral duty and necessity. 

Khalil praised PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani as an inspiration, framed education as “resistance,” and lauded Columbia’s militant campus activism and mutual aid networks that supported students during arrests. He described carving protest chants into his prison bunk, hailed students as the “moral compass” of radical change, and even preached about “positive masculinity.” 

Given the militancy of Columbia’s protests, it’s alarming that a women’s education program would choose Khalil as its keynote speaker.





You can’t make this stuff up. Seriously. 

Now I remember a time when education was presented as transformative, but the transformation was supposed to be internal to the student. Before one went out into the world to transform it, young people needed to expand their own minds, learn how to think and analyze, understand the complexities of history, and learn how to think in general. 

Thinking well is an obstacle to revolution, though, and must be discouraged. Best to get straight to the revolution led by the vanguard of the proletariat. Let them figure out what to do and where to go, and send the cannon fodder out to slaughter and be slaughtered.

Khalil was famously the spokesman for the Columbia student “occupiers” who vandalized the campus and harassed Jews. His icons are Marxists, and his goal is to decolonize the West. 

How very UN of him. 

On top of it all, the very idea that the United Nations is promoting revolution is bizarre. It is, after all, an organization of sovereign nations. It happily includes some of the worst regimes in the world and even gives them spots on its human rights commissions, so it would be interesting to have the Secretary General specify exactly which countries the UN is trying to foment revolutions in. 





Not Iran, surely. 

It’s bizarre, and for the elite, it is mostly performative. They are doing the radical chic thing again, just as they did in the 1960s when Leonard Bernstein had a party featuring the glitterati and the Black Panthers

The consequences are real, though. The United Nations is featuring a Hamas supporter who recently justified the October 7th attacks as necessary as an icon that young women should look up to. 

And we give the UN $13 billion. Geez.
