Shades of Japanese internment camps in the U.S. during WWII. Because of course, everyone of Japanese descent was a terrorist.

I hope we've learned something since then.

Palestinians showed a face that nobody had seen before. This is way past freedom fighters and a lot more like ISIS like behavior. Could I publicly advocate beheading and burning people alive a few years ago? Oh, in case you are wondering how the two came to behave exactly alike? They read the same playbook.

So if you support Russia, its treason

But if you support Hamas, its freedom of speech.

Make it make sense.

That’s called “hypocrisy” and “double standard.”

I support neither Hamas nor Russia. But I also don't believe every Palestinian or Russian who happens to be in the U.S. right now is a terrorist, either. Just as it was true that every German in America during WWII wasn't a Nazi sympathizer.

Sure, I agree, but there is no law against taking a the Palestinian side. Are they demonstrating for the terrorists or Palestinians as a nation? The ones down here were for Palestinians as nation, not the terrorists.

Are you serious? With an open border, why harass those here under a visa? Anyone can enter the country for any reason without getting a visa. Hamas is not representative of all Palestinians, and let's face it, those people fight all the time, and it is not our fight, and for the Biden Administration, it is a much needed diversion from our own issues with the hoards of only God knows who coming through the open southern border.

I do not like judging all of any demographic by the actions of a few of the demographic.

Not our fight. Americans that don't realize that these people have been fighting forever, and both sides share responsibility, and choose to be present there, incur a risk.

Geesh, we have let people into our country that are a clear and present danger, and yet no one wanted to expel them!

Kicking Non-Citizens out of a Country is similar to Japanese internment Camps....

There is a stretch to try and make a comparison, and then there is taking the rubber band to the maximum. If you think that these two things are remotely similar you've gone beyond that.

Now, I don't agree that we should unilaterally kick everyone out. However, I think that everyone needs to be fully investigated before it is decided if we should allow them to stay. Of course, I also think that should apply to anyone trying to enter this country regardless of where they are from.
