“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.”
Can I introduce a bill to ship this republikkklown to Gaza?
I honestly thought this was the Onion. Strange timeline. Bring Harambe back.
to do community service in Gaza for six months.
Sooooo… these geniuses are proposing to send people who are already (and justifiably) not very fond of Israel on an actual state-funded six month fact-finding mission to witness the horrors caused by Israel for themselves?
Better make sure they don’t have smartphones on them… otherwise, they might just record enough Israeli war crimes to fill three TikToks.
No Mr. Bond, they expect them to die.
So when do we get to start calling these guys nazis? Cause I’m pretty sure that calling to send dissenters to camps, where a concentrated ethnic group is actively having genocide committed against them, is some nazi shit.
I’ve been doing it since 2016
You don’t need permission.
I propose a law that says any rep introducing or supporting performative, moronic legislation that wastes my tax dollars gets to have their balls kicked off. Who’s with me?
Now hold on just a minute there. They can have their balls or ovaries kicked off. Inclusivity, y’know.
For sure but in this instance the assholes in question are male. In the name of inclusivity, I’m happy to discuss alternatives for women as I’m not sure ovaries can be kicked off.
Just wait til MTG and BoBo get to the party.
I’m not sure ovaries can be kicked off.
Anything’s possible, with enough enthusiasm!
I have a compromise- male, female or nonbinary, we just bash them in the kneecaps with a tire iron.
Just so people don’t panic this is blatantly illegal at least for US citizens.
Apparently, in the very clear minds of Republicans, if you got busted drinking at a college party at any point after Oct 7 2023, that’s sUpPoRtInG hAmAs nOw and you deserve to be deported to Gaza.
…Guess RFK’s not the only politician with brain worms
I am going to bet that these pro-Hamas supporters wouldn’t last a day, but let’s give them the opportunity
Most people don’t last long in death camps.
They’re basically admitting it’s a death camp.
Had to look at the link quite a few times to make sure I didn’t eat the onion. These kinds of things are just getting more and more common
Protest against genocide? Straight to genocide. Be against genocide? Believe it or not, straight to genocide.
Wait, will that include Matt Gaetz?
College. Not kindergarten.
What a great use of their time. Vote these chucklefucks out already.
I had to triple check this wasn’t an onion article. This seems too stupid and horrible to be real.
This is what you’re voting for, people! Never forgive. Never forget. We cannot let this happen.
This is a clown doing a performance. It’s a bunch of hateful horseshit to feed the ever rabid base.
And yet, another clear as day example that this election is literally the fight against fascism.
Lemmy is full of bad faith arguments about both sides, genocide Joe, etc. Always trying to frame it away from the very obvious truth.
The obvious truth is, that the Dems can end this genocide, force Israel to hand over all its war criminals and establish a Palestinian state. and gain all the support for it. The fact that they rather want a genocide to continue shows you that they rather want Trump to win, than to not take AIPAC money.
And they successfully gaslighted the people into believing it is their fault, instead of the fault of the leaders that can end this genocide right fucking now.
