What the hell is going on in this country…

If that's how they're gonna behave here, deport em. Don't need that trash (intimidation and threatening harm on others) on our college campuses. We have enough issues as it is.

Can we deport the neo-Nazis and White Nationalists that show up to Pride festivals and multicultural events in tactical gear too?

I wish, lol, kinda hard to deport a US citizen.

Thats my point. The students labeled as pro-Hamas by one source and Pro-Palestine by another (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...hide-library-pro-palestine-demonstration.html) are likely US citizens.

I don't like threatening gestures no matter the packaging and I'm not wading into this debate to determine the accuracy of either label, but at any rate, I'm pretty sure these are Americans with the same rights we afford other groups we don't particularly agree with.

Yea I'm totally sure this was a "pro-Hamas protest". Coming from a twitter account called Israel War Room. Not saying this is outright BS, but to take this at face value given the circumstances is at best presumptious.

EDIT: Did a little scroll of the Israel War Room twitter account and, yea, it should be trusted as much as a Hamas War Room Twitter account

Those videos look like a mini January 6th. Thankfully a door stopped it this time. So disgraceful.

The likes on your posts lately should hint you to something. You've been pretty reasonable and rational this whole time. I hate to see you diving head first into some of the things that been posted on here lately.

its not just Harvard that has a problem. There's being "pro Palestinian but anti-Hamas" and then there is this stuff

Right or wrong, if you're a guest of the country and break laws while here, you can and often will lose the privilege, meaning loss of visa etc.

If they're citizens, then they can be charged with whatever crime they commit. Physical intimidation and assaulting people is a crime and they can be arrested.

That said, a lot of college students are here on student visas and can get deported if they cause trouble while here. It does happen.

I'm just stating a fact here. Regardless what side you're on, threatening physical harm harm on others shouldn't be tolerated. If they're guests who are here on student visas, if they want to jeopardize that, that's a risk they take.

 

[DaveXA]

Well, that may or may not be intentional. The people displaying that should know how it would be perceived here as well. Not really smart if you know people are going to misinterpret your message.

Have it your way I guess

Family of Al Jazeera Gaza bureau chief killed in Israeli air raid

Attack kills daughter, wife, son of Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent Wael Dahdouh.

Ugh. I’m thinking Israel needs to just go in on the ground, which apparently they are postponing. These missile attacks are too indiscriminate and terrorizing. You want Hamas, go get Hamas.

My spidey senses are already tingling about this thread. But before I forget before I leave I gotta drop this banger

I read something today that I'm not sure I'm reading right. Over 2300 kids killed in Gaza so far. In comparison around 1700 in Ukraine. 2300 in 3 weeks. If that's indeed true it's inexcusable.
