There is evidence that the group that Khalil headed did endorse Hamas and distributed pro-Hamas propaganda. Whether this news article is true or if it's propaganda remains to be seen.
> He’s been a regular fixture on news programs discussing the group’s disruptive efforts, including an interview on Quds News Network done completely in Arabic
Why is it relevant that he did an interview in Arabic? Like seriously?
As others have said the rest reads as just guilt by association.
To be maximally fair to the other position it has made me reluctant to protest against Israel despite being broadly against them. There are too many people in that movement who are clearly racist, but it’s also unfortunate that pro Israeli forces campaign hard to conflate opposition to Israel with opposition to Jewish people

There is nothing in those articles that says he supported Hamas or that he distributed pro-Hamas propaganda.

There is no evidence that Khalil endorsed Hamas or distributed pro-Hamas propaganda.
Those articles are simply using the "guilt by association" tactic and it's disgraceful.

Lines like this certainly don’t help:
