An Upper West Side woman is being bombarded with nasty emails and suspicious packages — all because she has the same name as the lawyer for Palestinian agitator Mahmoud Khalil, law-enforcement sources said Monday.
The latest shady package arrived as the unfortunate woman’s Riverside Boulevard home Monday, sources said, declining to describe its contents. The victim did not want to comment to The Post when reached by phone.
The unwelcome attention is apparently coming from critics of Khalil, who led raucous anti-Israel protests at Columbia University during the Israeli-Hamas war and is now in federal detention over his actions.
The campus rabble-rouser, who was pursing a graduate degree at the Ivy League school, has worked for the controversial United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees.
Khalil held a senior position at the UK office for Syria in Lebanon, too, according to multiple reports.
He was involved with a British government’s Syria Chevening Program, which dishes out fully funded scholarships to foreign students who “show potential to inspire.”
Khalil, a Syrian-born Palestinian who is also a citizen of Algeria, stopped working there roughly two years ago, right before he relocated to the US in 2022 to enroll at Columbia, where he became a daily figure during weeks of antisemitic unrest on the Manhattan campus.
His lawyer — who does not live on Riverside Boulevard — has petitioned for him to be released.
