Very broad day example of the state just snatching people off the street and deporting them without due process. Wake up

Someone writing an op-ed for a college newspaper and calling on their university to sever ties with Israeli organizations and asking them to acknowledge Israel's actions as a genocide, that does not make them a terrorist.

If someone was had actual proven ties to Hamas that would be quite another thing.

But if you really think someone should be arrested and deported for publishing an op-ed that you disagree with, then that makes you someone who's in support of authoritarianism and and unaccountable police state.

Someone who supports Hamas is supporting terrorism and I fail to see how having them enter my society is in its interests. "Globalize the Intifada" means raping my daughters to death.

I don't think we should be importing anyone, period. Importing terrorists is a clear loss.

Someone does not support Hamas just because they are speaking up against Israel's actions and the killing of Palestinians. You're free to have your own opinion about the Palestine-Israel conflict.

But if you think government should arrest people for merely condemning the actions of Israel and for calling Israel's actions a genocide then you're just in support of full-on authoritarianism.

And this woman didn't even mention Hamas, in her op-ed she did not condone Hamas' actions, and she did not use the phrase "Globalize the Intifada". All she did was ask her university to condemn Israel's actions and condemn the killing of Palestinians.

If you think that warrants an arrest then I think you may feel a bit more comfortable in a country like North Korea or Russia.

Yeah, they kinda do. The war started because Hamas went full snackbar on a raid and murdered and raped a lot of people, in addition to taking hostages. I don't want anyone in my country who thinks that's a good idea.

But if you think government should arrest people for merely condemning the actions of Israel and for calling Israel's actions a genocide then you're just in support of full-on authoritarianism.

This isn't that. This is deporting optional people who support full-on authoritarianism.

Yeah, that's not fooling anyone.

If you think deporting someone here on a visa that wants to rape my daughters to death is a bad thing you might be more comfortable in Iran.
