Columbia University graduate and activist Mahmoud Khalil said on “The Ezra Klein Show” Tuesday that Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack on Israel was unavoidable.

Hamas killed around 1,200 civilians, taking over 240 individuals hostage and committing rapes during the attack, leading to the Israel-Hamas war. Khalil said on the show that “it felt frightening that we had to reach this moment in the Palestinian struggle,” prompting host Ezra Klein to ask him to clarify what he meant.
