Making statements in support of or in support of the actions of a proscribed terrorist group.
I’ll leave it to folks saying he has done something to prove it.
Even a statement is fine. The point is this argument is vacuous if both sides assume intent.

Sure. They do that in court filings. It just takes time. (And maybe it’s all bunk!)
I think it is kinda an insidious system where it is expected we would have a statement vs any possible bad thing.
I’m all for innocent until proven guilty. If this guy mailed a check to hamas directly then fine by me, otherwise I say prove it.
Sure. But they have no obligation to provide it to you right now. Anyone concluding confidently before we have court filings is obviously grinding an axe. (And it’s happening on both sides. No group has a monopoly on hyperbole.)
Yes we're posting on HN, I think we all know that...
If he’s organising support for a terrorist organisation or October 17th [EDIT: 7th], yes. If he’s just voicing support for Palestinian rights, it shouldn’t be.
The government - through the Biden and Trump admins - has been testing out the limits of student repression with pro-Palestine protestors. Think of it as a pilot program for seeing what they can get away with. As we have seen elsewhere, violent shutdown of university protests is one early step on the path towards more widespread repression.
It is fine to not care, but don’t start crying for support once your cause is on the gov’s radar.
