“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.”

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.

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.

The IDF allows dyed hair now? Seems out of character.

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.

Don’t try to tell people what they’ve seen.
Now that is foolish rhetoric. Protesters can’t control who walks among them. There are counter protesters who walk among them, too. Does that mean the anti-genocide protesters don’t have a problem with the counter protesters? Nonsense.
The vast majority of student protesters are anti-genocide of Palestinians. Full stop. If you say or imply otherwise, you are not arguing in good faith.
Even civil rights protesters in the 1960’s had individuals among them who thought they should “kill all whites”. That doesn’t say a thing about the ones who were there simply for equal rights. It’s a fallacy to ascribe the beliefs of the extreme minority to the beliefs of the majority just because they walked or sat together.

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?
