"A group of Republican lawmakers introduced a bill on Wednesday which would send “any person convicted of unlawful activity” at a college or university, to do community service in Gaza for six months."
"Strangely, the bill appears to refer to any “unlawful activity on the campus of an institution of higher education beginning on and after October 7, 2023” but does not specifically mention the ongoing student protests, rendering it stupidly broad."
"Ogles spoke with Fox News about the bill, saying that, “If you support a terrorist organization, and you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine. I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity.”
Ah so it's not about rights and freedoms, it's about the right opinions and the freedom of your side. The opinions of hypocrites can and should be discarded.
You have the right to peacefully protest. That's not what's going to get you shipped away.
What we have here though is far from peaceful and it's far from a protest. These are terrorist camps harrassing people for their ethnicity and beliefs and based on the arrest records that we're seeing, they're being heavily influenced by non-students and bad actors.
The opinions of useful idiots should not be considered.
They're A rapidly growing subset of the useful version. And we are seeing repeatedly across college campuses where these idiots don't know what they're even protesting for or against. The number I've seen interviewed who can't identify which river or sea they are chanting about would be funny if they weren't promoting a genocide.
It is a fine line between useful and useless though, if you're not sure where you fall the default is useless.
You should book a ticket and go. Plenty of flights to Tel Aviv, quick ride to the border. It's not a terrible trip. I'm sure you'll be welcome with open arms and I doubt the IDF would mind the extra ammunition being spent 👍
Student protesters are not pro-Hamas. Few Palestinians are even pro-Hamas. Most Palestinians are under 18 and couldn't even have voted for Hamas 18 years ago. There have been no elections since then.
Protesters are against killing thousands of innocent men, women, and children by bombing literally everything. That's it. That's the issue. If you think it's OK to bomb children, say so, because that's what protesters are against. So if you're against the protesters, you're for bombing innocents.
C'mon don't be foolish. We've all seen the green headbands. We've all seen the signs. We've all seen the intifada chants.
I'm not saying they all are but enough of them are that staying among them pretty clearly demonstrates that you don't have a problem with what they're saying.
clearly demonstrates that you don't have a problem with what they're saying.
Now that is foolish rhetoric. Protesters can't control who walks among them. There are counter protesters who walk among them, too. Does that mean the anti-genocide protesters don't have a problem with the counter protesters? Nonsense.
The vast majority of student protesters are anti-genocide of Palestinians. Full stop. If you say or imply otherwise, you are not arguing in good faith.
Even civil rights protesters in the 1960's had individuals among them who thought they should "kill all whites". That doesn't say a thing about the ones who were there simply for equal rights. It's a fallacy to ascribe the beliefs of the extreme minority to the beliefs of the majority just because they walked or sat together.
If you haven't seen it then you would Have to be intentionally avoiding. But you're even offended by that. Just proves that you don't care about reality. You just care about pushing the propaganda.
Protesters can't control who walks around them? That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. It's really really really easy to walk away from the guy wearing the swastika or the green headband. That you're denying this basic reality again, just shows that you just want to push the propaganda.
The vast majority of protesters are clearly ill-informed if they think there's a genocide going on. I'm pretty safe in believing that you've intentionally avoided the follow-up from the icj president who went out of her way to clarify that they did not find it plausible Israel as committing a genocide. Stop pushing lies.
Supporting palestine is not supporting terrorists. Can you tell me how many palestinian civilian casualties are recorded till now in Gaza? Can you tell me what is the number or Israelis who died as a result of IDF invasion into Gaza?
