“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.”

    If this is real … man … the United States has really embraced using torture and the threat of torture … from the local police departments all the way up to the federal capital.

    We didn’t even need to get invaded to have fallen.

      Even if it passed, does the GOP think that authorities in Gaza would be like “sure send them here.” It would be completely dependent on the Gazans authorities cooperating.
