“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.
No, they wouldn’t last a day, neither would any other civilian there. That’s the problem, good job proving their point.
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.
Hmmm I like the idea, but we want to stop them from breeding.
Uranium underpants could do wonders there
Guillotine too.
All of them are old. It’s too late for that.
Unfortunately not for the ones still able to make swimmers.
If this passes, you do have to have your balls kicked off, though
I disagree. In the long term, IchNichtenLichten’s proposal would save so much time and money - through the mere threat of a ball kicking - that it would fail to meet its own second criteria.
Why wouldn’t they last a day in Gaza, Andy?
Why wouldn’t they?
“Don’t like the death camps? Well, we’ll send you to death camps and see how you like them then!”
Protest against genocide? Straight to genocide. Be against genocide? Believe it or not, straight to genocide.
So people who are anti-genocide should be genocided?
Gotta fight fire with fire
-Republicans, probably
This is so old. “If you love communism so much, move to Russia” said every right wing asshole to the boomers when they were kids a half century ago. Yawn.
The new twist is it’s now, “if you hate it so much, we’ll move you there!”.
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.
Does that mean “any” person? So all police officers that broke the freedom of speech ammendment have to do 6 months of community service as well? And those nut jobs that attacked peaceful protest camps and clubbed students over the head?
So all police officers that broke the freedom of speech ammendment have to do 6 months of community service as well?
Hopefully not… Israel has enough genocidal white supremacists.
Concussions can make you more conservative so of course head injury is a priority
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.
It feels Kafkaesque. “Hello, I’m against genocide. Do I stand in line to be labeled a terrorist simp? Should I stand in the Nazi line? Just wondering what label I’ll need to own.”
Such a serious and intelligent political party. Yes, let’s give them lots of money and let them run things.
I honestly thought this was the Onion. Strange timeline. Bring Harambe back.
This has to be satire.
Illegal on its face.
