when are we going to accept that when Israel says they're targeting "Hamas," they mean ALL Palestinians? even if they didn't, even if they were literally only targeting actual Hamas fighters, YOU DON'T GET TO BOMB SCHOOLS. We weren't bombing German schools in WW2 going "well we were targeting Nazis," if the choice is blowing up children or letting terrorists live, YOU LET THE TERRORISTS LIVE. otherwise just admit you're trying to exterminate Palestinians.
@dietotaku Netanyahu is against peace
how about "everyone who wants one"? what's unclear about that? better yet, how about we just do away with asylum hearings, everyone who claims they are in danger can stay, and we just focus on getting rid of the violent criminals? because unless you're one of the cartel/gang members, I really don't care what your story is. immigrants start businesses, contribute to communities & lower crime. there is no reason to gatekeep who can call the US their home.
so they've created a Catch-22, where you have to claim that your life is in danger outside the US while spending months or years waiting outside the US. so if they survive to see their case come before a judge, they just disproved their claim, and if they get murdered in the meantime, oh well, one less brown person in the country.
proving that it's not about "legal immigration," it's just xenophobia. and I don't care to pander to xenophobia. if 90% of Americans voted to reinstate concentration camps for immigrants, I would tell them all to go fuck themselves. the majority doesn't get what they want when they're being racist shitheads.
I FAIL TO SEE THE PROBLEM. you claimed asylum, some prick judge took half a decade to decide you don't count, but you're not a violent criminal or a threat to public safety. why should I care if you leave?! why should I want you to leave? you've been here for several years, obviously making a living for yourself and integrating into society, blending in... what's the fucking problem?
the utter caucasity to say "migrants aren't being persecuted, they just want to move here because it's politically freer and less violent"... you do not have to be the target of a literal genocide to be justified in seeking asylum (and if you did, I notice you left off Palestinians in your list of valid asylum-seekers).
migrants from Central America are absolutely being persecuted and killed by drug cartels and gangs. they deserve asylum.
@dietotaku It's weird how telling people the economy is better doesn't raise the moods of people who are still paying too much, working too hard, and not seeing any evidence in their day to day lives.
fuck twitter, fuck mastodon, fuck post.news and FUCK threads
