Republican Introduces Absurd Bill to Send Arrested Student Protesters to Gaza

"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.”

This is a clown doing a performance. It's a bunch of hateful horseshit to feed the ever rabid base.

And yet, another clear as day example that this election is literally the fight against fascism.

Lemmy is full of bad faith arguments about both sides, genocide Joe, etc. Always trying to frame it away from the very obvious truth.

The obvious truth is, that the Dems can end this genocide, force Israel to hand over all its war criminals and establish a Palestinian state. and gain all the support for it. The fact that they rather want a genocide to continue shows you that they rather want Trump to win, than to not take AIPAC money.

And they successfully gaslighted the people into believing it is their fault, instead of the fault of the leaders that can end this genocide right fucking now.
