We heard about people getting disappeared in China for criticizing the party. Now people are being disappeared in the US because they speak up against Israel committing a genocide.
Checks out, Israel has been explicitly and intentionally modelling Nazi Germany from the very start, and often in collaboration with them.
It’s quiet in here
They are afraid to get deported for replying.
I’m OOTL or something who’s the bottom guy?
That’s Mahmoud Khalil, a normal dude in the US with a green card, who the ICE has a hold of and wants to deport because he did some very legal peaceful protests for Palestine
Important to note here that the he has not been charged with a crime.
If a legal resident commits a crime there is a process to detain, try, sentence, and (potentially) deport them. It happens all the time. But that is not what is happening here. They arrested and detained an American without due process.
Splitting hairs, but a green card only means permanent residency.
I did specify that he is a legal resident and not a citizen.
That’s the biggest issue, even the courts say that they have no right to detain him
Aii caramba, that’s pretty… Well standard for the US by now, but still.
Thanks a lot!
has he been found at all? last I know his pregnant wife and lawyer (different person) couldn’t even reach him
He has quite literally been disappeared. Last rumor I heard yesterday is that they transferred him to a different state to avoid some state laws.
Y’all shoulda voted Kamala and this wouldn’t have happened…
Harris has been an unapologetic accomplice of genocide. We can criticize Trump for all his flaws but one must acknowledge his success in brokering a peace deal.
Ah yes because she said she was going to deport people and shut down protests.
Trump literally said he was going to do that while campaigning - and is now doing just that.
At least you would’ve had a voice.
Point being, this guy wouldn’t be locked up.
Edit: if anyone had any other realistic options given the situation I’m all ears lmao
Kamala was VP under Biden, who like Obama gave billions to Israel to murder Palestinians. Even tho the majority of people oppose the war, they get this anyway.
The US is not a democracy, it’s a capitalist dictatorship.
So you’re trying to tell me it would’ve been the same and/or worse under Kamala? I want some of whatever you’re on…
I get it’s not ideal, but you’ve got millions of idiots here in the US that couldn’t give a shit about Palestine. I’m not one of the ones you need to convince of this. I just voted for the better of the two options this time around considering the stakes. Voted Bernie Sanders in both 2016 and 2020.
Edit: wonder if you’ll still feel the same way once the special needs orangutan and his best buddy Netanyahu turn Gaza into a strip mall or golf course….
you’re trying to tell me it would’ve been the same and/or worse under Kamala
That’s exactly what I’m trying to tell you
I’ll take some of whatever you’re on then
That was kind of the critical issue going on. There was this whole movement to get some kind of course change on Israel. Biden made it clear there was a higher chance of Trump changing course on Israel. Kamala insisted she would not change course from Biden.
It really didn’t work out for their campaign.
Changing course - as in changing Gaza into a golf course?
He literally called Biden a “very bad Palestinian” in their debate lol as if that was an insult. Y’all are whacked out of your minds
I suggest you pay attention to actions rather than words. Trump brokered a peace deal in 10 days when Biden refused to do so in over a year.
Hey, are political memes allowed here?
Yep, there’s a comm for non-political memes as well.
Thanks. I hate getting more politics shoved up my face, its pretty depressing
I just block everyone who tries to
Politics is a core part of Lemmy, since most of us are here are here on ideological grounds against Reddit.
Umm… have you tried having a positive identity instead of negative? I believe it would do a lot for us if lemmy was percieved as a ‘community of smart people with interesting discussions’ instead of ‘not reddit’
The fact that Reddit is by far larger means choosing Lemmy is out of a deliberate choice in its favor systemically. This is usually more ideological in basis.
