GOP introduces bill that would send anyone convicted of unlawful activity on a campus since Oct. 7th, 2023 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.”

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.

pro Hamasites

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.
