Litmus Test
It's not a silly question, it's a litmus test: Do you support terrorism? That's not a silly question in this case because there is reason to believe that Khalil does support Hamas. The group he helped lead at Columbia clearly did support Hamas and violence. It said so directly. It handed out Hamas-authored literature. It praised the mastermind of the 10/7 attack.
So answering the question definitely would get us somewhere. We would know for certain if Khalil supports Hamas instead of having to guess based on clues. But really, at this point, it's not much of a guess anymore. Khalil supports Hamas and that's the real reason he won't answer.
