"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.”
Even a broken clock is right twice a day. Terrorist supporters can do it from the ground in Gaza. Start with the purple hair ones.
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.
What's your policy on useless idiots? It's a time sensitive question because I just saw this opinion I'm not sure what to do with
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.
Imagine caring about the suffering of others for no good reason.
Don't understand how this troll doesn't get banned. Spouts the most rage bait shit.
Banning fact-based opinions that are contrary the group think. That's my fascist. Nope. Not at all.
As someone who is sympathetic to the legal and moral Palestinian resistance by Hamas and other factions, I wouldn't mind going there and helping out.
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 👍
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?
The IDF allows dyed hair now? Seems out of character.
They're welcoming and inclusive but they're not letting the pro Hamasites in, that's just a bit too accepting.
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.
