“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.”

Most people don’t last long in death camps.
They’re basically admitting it’s a death camp.
More wood for the fire, please
I honestly thought this was the Onion. Strange timeline. Bring Harambe back.
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 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?

I propose we kick off clits n dicks instead.
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.

I have a compromise- male, female or nonbinary, we just bash them in the kneecaps with a tire iron.
“Don’t like the death camps? Well, we’ll send you to death camps and see how you like them then!”
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
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.
Can I introduce a bill to ship this republikkklown to Gaza?
I had to triple check this wasn’t an onion article. This seems too stupid and horrible to be real.
What a great use of their time. Vote these chucklefucks out already.
Imagine claiming to support freedom while also supporting anything even remotely as ghoulish as this.
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.
Remember folks, a protest vote against Biden just puts us one step closer to fuckery like this actually happening.
And a vote for Biden does nothing to change it since Biden is already Gestapo ing the students.
We live in a 2-Party system. Let me guess: You already vote, donate, and volunteer to abolish it, and are leading a grassroots effort for voting reform… Right!?
You only live in 2 party system because you keep screaming that you live in a 2 party system.
Keep endorsing your own oppression. The perfect slave.
You only live in 2 party system because you keep screaming that you live in a 2 party system.
No, we have a 2 party system because the existing law is inherently biased against 3rd parties thanks to our use of the electoral college/FPTP, lobbying, and lack of election finance regulation/enforcement.
It is a built in feature to our current laws.
A child’s take on game theory.
I wonder what you would say after looking up how many third party candidates successfully gained enough EC votes to be president?
Maybe learn how the world works. It could help you in life, because clearly, you’re not even close to reality .
Man who says we need to continue doing what has been done for the last 100 years claims this time it’s gonna be different.
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.
