What’s horrible is that some want to bring the horrible here.

My family came here decades ago to escape oppression and chaos, not bring it here. And we don’t.

Every action I’ve seen from activists—both by Zionists and Palestinian hardliners—have been to sow discord for their own ends.

The children here don’t deserve it. If you want to be decent? Then convince neighbors like SA or the UAE to provide medical aid.

Are there other ways in which I should be disallowed from aiding suffering children?

[nobodyandproud]

You’re allowed to aid; but you refuse to believe a nation is allowed to say “not here”.

If your aim is to help, then the elected government has said find a different way so what’s your next move?

As a lifelong Democrat, I’m forced to conclude this appeal from a certain segment of hardline liberals isn’t in good faith.

You may not like it and it’s shitty, but Hamas’ attack last year changed things for me; and I’m guessing I’m not the only silent centrist who thinks this.

Every lie of omission by extremist liberals deepens my suspicions.

[UncleMeat]

A nation can say "not here" to suffering people in need of medical aid, driven by a self described "proud Islamophobe". I personally think that is monstrous.

[nobodyandproud]

So you’re declaring a nation can’t help without putting itself at unnecessary risk.

I’d say a no-compromise outlook is monstrous. That’s the position of a zealot and is rightly distrusted.

I entertained this discussion, but the bad faith is clear and I won’t be wasting any further time.

[UncleMeat]

I really deeply and truly do not understand how an injured child coming to the US on a temporary visa is an "unnecessary risk."

When a self-describe "proud Islamophobe" proposes a policy like this, I believe her that it is motivated by hating muslims.
