“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.
More wood for the fire, please
No, they wouldn’t last a day, neither would any other civilian there. That’s the problem, good job proving their point.
Remember folks, a protest vote against Biden just puts us one step closer to fuckery like this actually happening.
And a vote for Biden does nothing to change it since Biden is already Gestapo ing the students.
Imagine claiming to support freedom while also supporting anything even remotely as ghoulish as this.
Remember, we’re paying them to draft this legislation.
Check the election calendar for your state and vote them out!
That’s the worst part. This has no chance of passing, this is just bad theater. Bad theater that you and I are funding.
Like a community funded production of Dance of the Vampires.
If I did my job this poorly I would be fired. Two tiers.
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.
I propose we kick off clits n dicks instead.
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.
“Don’t like the death camps? Well, we’ll send you to death camps and see how you like them then!”
The concept already seemed like something from a Futurama episode, and this fake quote cements it
Why wouldn’t they last a day in Gaza, Andy?
Why wouldn’t they?
Right like that’s kind of the entire point of these solidarity encampments; it’s a statement that we should not be subjecting humans to those conditions
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
So when do we get to start calling these guys nazis? Cause I’m pretty sure that calling to send dissenters to camps, where a concentrated ethnic group is actively having genocide committed against them, is some nazi shit.
You don’t need permission.
I’ve been doing it since 2016
I had to triple check this wasn’t an onion article. This seems too stupid and horrible to be real.
too stupid and horrible to be real.
And yet…
The real magic with the Onion is how they are able to satirize Repubs before the Repubs do the thing. The articles are no longer fiction, they are just early.
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.
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!”.
What a great use of their time. Vote these chucklefucks out already.
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.
The obvious truth is, that the Dems can end this genocide, force Israel to hand over all its war criminals and establish a Palestinian state. and gain all the support for it. The fact that they rather want a genocide to continue shows you that they rather want Trump to win, than to not take AIPAC money.
And they successfully gaslighted the people into believing it is their fault, instead of the fault of the leaders that can end this genocide right fucking now.
