Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Why is this a bad thing? These Pro-Hamas or Pro-Palestine nut jobs are just crazy... they have no idea what they're even protesting or supporting..
Most of them are not pro-hamas at all and are instead against what Israel has done. Those are distinct things
Do you think unconstitutionally deporting US citizens based on their speech will lead to anything good? It'd almost certainly be extended to anything else as an excuse to remove other dissent on any area - not just gaza
Okay, so we should just stop supporting Israel? What do they think is going to happen? Do they think Israel is going to say "since there's some kids protesting at Berkeley, we're going to pull out!" I mean, the US will always support Israel because it's in OUR best interest, is it not? There's a simple solution to this.... "STOP ATTACKING ISRAEL."
No? What does supporting Israel actually get us?
It gets us a foot print in the Middle East, an entire region that hates America and wants to see our destruction. That's what it gets us.
We have plenty of other bases in the middle east. Enough that sending billions in weapons to Israel is not cost effective.
Lets not act like a bunch of piss bathing Saxons and exile folks.
