Yikes. Once the government has built that infrastructure and pipeline from monitoring to arrest, you think they won't use it for other kinds of dissent?

Why, isn't using it for this kind of dissent already enough? There's no freedom of speech anymore in the US if you go against the interests of Israel.

We don’t know if he materially supported Hamas. At that point it’s no longer just a speech issue.

We will eventually know the government is full of bunk. But that takes time. In the meantime, I think all we can do is note who is jumping to conclusions with incomplete information and who is prescient about objective facts (not forecasts).

What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

Very relevant in a court of law. Not really so in public opinion. I’m not saying we can conclude he deserves any of this, nor that it’s legal. I’m just saying we can’t conclude what happened was illegal without knowing the charges and evidence.

I don’t understand this btw. What does the US gain from supporting Israel? Is it just buying cheap votes with public money?

AIPAC, Christian zionism, misconceptions and lack of knowledge about Israel, and very strong Israeli lobbying in general

That infrastructure has always existed. The law 9 FAM 302.6 lays out grounds for inadmissibility.

It’s similar to the laws that prevent former Nazi regime members from immigrating to the US.

As a non-citizen, you are held to more strict standards as to your conduct. Every country does this.

I was a non-citizen for years and felt I should hold myself to stricter conduct standards - not just for legal reasons but also moral ones. You don't ask to come into someones house and then complain about the cooking or start giving unsolicited advice on interior decorating.

If you are based in the US, you should protest this hard.

In Germany, they came for the communists first.
