Many USA states make it illegal to boycott Israel including my own. You can no longer protest them in university which is a time honored american tradition predating the Vietnam war.They very much DO have an overt oversized control of western politics ,police,and institutions.. If anyone should be getting these crazy deportations, should be these Israelis who consistently spout unamerican rhetoric and undermine the fundamental principals of our nation. While claiming ethnic and religious superiority.

Anyone that's on a visa and is spreading anti American rhetoric should probably be deported. Having a visa to the US is a privilege, not a right, and it comes with conditions. It's not a free pass for foreign insurgents.

Though I think this is a false equivalence: pro Palestinian demonstrations include burning the American flag. Pro Israeli include raising and honoring it. These are not the same.

Edit: I forgot to comment about the "you can no longer protest them" part. You can most definitely protest Israel (and the US) in US universities. However, if you're on a visa and defy the terms of your visa by e.g. assaulting students, destroying university property, and supporting terrorist organizations you may get deported.

Okay, this is bad. You are using a tech forum to advocate for deportation of those you disagree with. I hope the mods see this and take the appropriate action.
