> We see people marching at our universities and in the streets of our country ... calling for Intifada, celebrating what Hamas has done ... Those people need to go," Rubio stated.
No one want terrorist apologist in their country, but I think everyone can see how it's the cursor position that matters. Now you ban terrorist apologist, tomorrow you ban someone who criticized Israel and it's human rights violation.
I see no difference between the Hamas and an Israeli fanatic who claim the Arabians have no right to live on the sacred soil that God gave them 2 thousand year ago, legitimizing the bombardment of civilians, forced deportations of gaza citizens, illegal Israeli settlements and so on.
Yet this is only about one side.
I fear this is instead going to be used as a tool to shut freedom of talk when it's not supportive of Israel.
I think it's today, actually. They just want to censor any voice that would dare criticize Israel's abhorrent action. Pretending anyone who shows sympathy for the suffering of Palestinians supports Hamas is an old strategy.
And to think they thought Trump was to be "the most peaceful president ever" or that he would "restore free speech". What fools.
He was too busy pleasing that murderous p.o.s. MBS and forcing them into 'peace agreement' with Israel at all costs, which as we all know lasted few months. Thats his style, lack of any sort of emotional intelligence to understand actual complexities of politics make people do horrible things to others. All clinical sociopaths struggle with this their entire lives, not that they care.
I strongly believe that events of 7.10. were directly caused by this, thats what happens when you have part of population having no issue with terrorism for their cause being literally cornered and losing all hope - a vicious emotional attack.
He is an elephant in porcelain shop, servant of chaos with some outright evil traits. That guy caused, is causing and will cause biggest loss of civilian life in modern times, putting him well within the category of Mao, Hitler, Stalin and so on. Happy to be proven wrong by history on this since it comes back to literally all of us, but so far thats how facts look like.
I don't believe in giving both parties the benefit of the doubt anymore.
The ones in power pushing this literally fit into the other group you described, so what a surprise.
Always has been. And part of the reason the US gets away with it (other than the threat of overwhelming nuclear-tipped military violence) is the effectiveness of Sinophobia and fear of the existential threat of "Communism" in manufacturing global consent for American imperialist hegemony.
The US can be toppling regimes and carpet-bombing weddings across the entire Western hemisphere, kidnapping people to CIA torture sites, spying on everyone and killing them over their metadata, and China can be doing nothing and Westerners will still be more afraid of China because "those insidious reds must be up to something."
We're not as bad as USA in a lot of respects, but we're getting there.
The US govt can do whatever it damn pleases.
Even if you support the idea in principle, the actual practical implementation should be treated with skepticism.
Not all AIs are LLMs...
If it were GOFAI, you can rephrase as "can people inspect the decision tree implemented by if-else blocks?"
If not, I'm afraid you're going to get your visa revoked..
so an American citizen’s freedom is directly correlated with their net worth in USA dollars
Once they're here, it would be weighted against their rights and the public interests. Previously I would assume it would get shot down by SCOTUS, but it seems like a coin flip these days imho.
Maybe we should all study more of history, with an open mind, instead of assuming that everything is different now and people have never been in a similar situation before.
