These students are being punished > for voicing support of Palestine If they're hoisting the flag of Hamas and chanting "from the river to the sea", then they're doing a lot more than voicing support for Palestine. American citizens are allowed to do that but if you're a guest in our country you better be on your best behavior and not go all in for a terrorist organization that advocates for the destruction of America. We don't need you here. You have no right to be here. So endorsing a group whose stated goal is the destruction of our country (along with Israel) while here as our guest has consequences. Fuck around and find out. > Suffice to suppose that, if this deportation initiative were Democratic, > you'd be apoplectic. I'd be apoplectic because I'd be shocked to my core that the current crop of Democrats were actually deporting anyone for anything. My idiotic mayor, fresh off her spectacularly appalling performance during the wildfires, was on TV yesterday reassuring "the immigrant community" that the city of Los Angeles will protect you from ICE no matter what crimes you've committed. She's literally on TV telling rapists, murderers, thieves, and narco-traffickers that she has their back. Never mind that "the immigrant community" she's so worried about has no desire to have those violent shitbags turned loose on their streets any more than anyone else does.
