Love how the GOP manages to be both party of abject Israeli bootlicking AND the home for the rankest antisemitic conspiracy theorists. And all so a red calf and total war in the middle east can summon Jesus on a starship or whatever.

I do not have to read all this Ken but everyone in the US should.

I have a pertinent question: When all the 'foreign' students decide to get their University education in China: Are you going to rely on your Zionist backers?

I find it odd that multiple Democratic politicians condemn Trump’s order, but are all in with Israel and the genocide. Chris Murphy comes quickly to mind.

DAWN has urged the ICC prosecutor to investigate and prosecute former President Biden, State Secretary Blinken and Defense Secretary Austin for their personal roles in aiding and abetting Israeli war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide in Gaza as part of his ongoing investigation into the situations in Palestine since 2014.

Let’s give them our support. Maybe they will expand their complaint to include this latest US administration, and include all the leaders of the western nations supporting this genocide.

"a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).”

The BS never ends. I must have slept through HS civics class because I don't remember carpet bombing residential neighborhoods to support Zionism being an American principle. This nonsense started in the ‘70s with the Israeli settlement expansion. The clash of civilizations, Christian Zionism, radical Islam versus Christendom. Bernard Lewis BS. Wake up voters, you're being had.

If you are sympathetic to genocide, we roll out the red carpet. Against genocide? We don't want you. Tells you everything you need to know about the US. I'm losing my lunch just thinking about this.

Oh for sure, that's a given! And they are cc'ed on Trump's Presidential Daily Bulletin as well. ;-)

We cannot allow Israel to escape the legal consequences of their war crimes. The Hind Rajab Foundation has, among other things, filed a case with the ICC against 1,000 Israeli soldiers for war crimes in Gaza.

They have taken further steps in recent days, and vacations are becoming a lot more difficult for IDF soldiers, worldwide. The Hind Rajab Foundation can use our help. Please join me in making a contribution.

You might find meaningful to watch the recent interviews that Glenn Greenwald did on his Rumble platform, and Ali Abunimah of the Electronic Intifada, did with the head of this organisation, Dyad Abou Jahjah. It was very informative.

Here's a petition calling for accountability for the arrest of Ali Abunimah in Switzerland:

"Though the document doesn’t explicitly define what counts as advocacy, it mentions 'conduct that bears a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).' ”

hostile toward founding principles? Zionism explicitly rejects liberty and justice for all. LJ4A is unquestionably on the side of the Palestinians.

But, I quibble. Support of Israel by America has nothing to do with any political philosophy, it is entirely a result of great wealth deliberately applied right out in the open (AIPAC, the Adelsons) to our corrupt political system and, in the case of universities, great wealth of donors applied to suppress freedom of speech.

Mama mia. And the next step is to remove the citizenship of any native born US citizen who says anything DJT and his friend Elon don't like -- in social media or any other form of communication.

I did enjoy the tongue in cheek comment of Kilgore Trout on how to get by...

It’s scary: 2 men (Rubio & JG Goldberg) are emerging from L'affaire du signal as the “Adults in Room.” They may be the most dangerous.

This misses the point. They are intimidating people into silence, and also declaring they can permanently review everyone's social media for " conduct that bears a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles). Or it may be evident in advocacy or sympathy for foreign terrorist organizations." These broad, undefined words means that a single instagram post critical of the US government (or of a position that the US government later adopts) could be used to revoke a student visa. This is meant to (and will succeed to) intimidate people into silence.

Yep, it's always been true that you can get across a border just by hiding anything that they don't want you to have. The bigger issue is that now the review for anything they might ever determine is indicative of a hostile attitude towards the government is ongoing (and likely permanent). So the path you suggest of just concealing everything they don't approve of must also be permanent. Another word for that is "silence."

What you are suggesting is that people comply and over-comply with the intention to silence them, and then pretend its a victory because they've avoided punishment. But in that case there isn't any need for punishment because compliance has been obtained. It's the government's victory, not yours.
