Well, this is very interesting. And there seems to be some validity to this claim.

This is what happens when you allow third worlders into your nation, as many actively work against America and our friends.
Families of hostages kidnapped by Hamas during the Oct. 7, 2023, terrorist attack are suing detained Columbia University protest leader Mahmoud Khalil and several pro-Palestinian groups, accusing them of acting as the “propaganda arm” for terrorists.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in the Southern District of New York, names Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and Khalil, who served as a spokesperson for CUAD before his detention by immigration authorities.
Other defendants include Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), Columbia-Barnard Jewish Voice for Peace, and Within Our Lifetime-United for Palestine, an activist group based in New York City that has worked with Columbia student protesters.
In addition to Khalil, the lawsuit names three other activist leaders individually and as representatives of the pro-Palestine groups.
Other plaintiffs in the case include Israeli Americans who served in the Israel Defense Forces before returning to the United States to pursue studies at Columbia, and families of individuals killed in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack.
...
The plaintiffs allege that the organizations had prior knowledge of the attack. The claim is based on the timing of the organizations’ public relations activities.
For example, Columbia SJP allegedly reactivated its long-dormant Instagram account just three minutes before Hamas began its Oct. 7 attack, posting a message that read, “We are back!”
The group also announced a meeting and urged supporters to “stay tuned.”
The lawsuit further claims that National SJP had pre-prepared materials to coordinate with the attack.
It points to the “Towfan Al-Aqsa Statement,” signed by dozens of SJP chapters, including Columbia’s, alleging that it must have been drafted and reviewed “before and/or during the events of October 7 themselves.”
The statement reads, in part, “We support the resistance, we support the liberation movement, and we indisputably support the Uprising.”
The lawsuit was filed under the Alien Tort Statute, a 1789 law allowing foreign nationals to sue in federal courts for violations of customary international law.
