    Baloney!!

    This claim is hate speech by Zionists and anti-Palistinians. Hamas may be Palistinian, but Palistinians are not Hamas. And criticism of Isreal for
    their heavy-handed genocide and hate of Palistinams is not "Hate Speech".

    Do note that Palistians are Semites - just like the Isreali's

    This is not a free speech issue. This is a hate speech crime.
    We would take forceful and criminal actions against anyone who
    wore KKK gowns and blocked campus access and said "Blacks do
    not deserve to live".
    We should certainly take steps against those who wear Palestinian
    scarves and say "Zionists don't deserve to live".

    Pro-Hamas foreigners here on student visas better pack their bags
    By Washington Examiner

    The State Department announced an initiative to cancel the visas of
    foreign nationals who appear to support Hamas or other organizations
    designated as terrorist groups, a welcome addition to President Donald Trump’s “revolution of common sense.”

    The effort will include an AI-fueled review of tens of thousands of
    social media accounts belonging to individuals ​in the Student Exchange Visitor System. Known as “Catch and Revoke,” the program will search for evidence of activism in support of Hamas after the Oct. 7, 2023,
    terrorist attack on Israel that killed 1,200 innocent Israelis.

    “Yesterday evening, we revoked the first visa of an alien who was
    previously cited for criminal behavior in connection with
    Hamas-supporting disruptions,” State Department officials said Thursday. “This individual was a university student. ICE will proceed with
    removing this person from the country.”

    Despite the outcry from the Left, this shift is long overdue. The United
    States owes no one the privilege of residing within its borders for an
    extended period of time to study at one of its many prestigious
    universities. Millions each year from around the globe claw for this
    golden ticket, which is, at least theoretically, awarded following a
    vigorous vetting process.
