He disrupted a career fair because it had defense contractors.

Not simply because it had defense contractors…

You made an editorial choice to leave out the part about selling weapons to Israel to use against Gaza.

Once can agree or disagree with the action to disrupt the career.

Either way, I find your omission a bit glaring.

Is your omission of the attacks on October 7 carried out by Hamas equally glaring? How do you know what exactly Israel will do with the weapons? They presumably need this for defense as any country needs weapons for defending themselves.
It was omitted because it is irrelevant. It doesn't matter which ally the US sells weapons to. If the Gazans attacked Luxembourg, Luxembourgers have the right to defend themselves (and win) too.
I apologize for bringing up irrelevant information.
You really should. It is self serving information.
I’m sure you’re also applying the same logic to Iran and saying they have a right to defend themselves?
Should he be harassed and deported for this?
Yes. If you're a guest in a country and don't follow the law you should be deported. You don't need waste money putting them on trial (except for murder/rape/etc), just deport.
How do you find out if someone followed the law without a trial?
That only works if the accused has committed a crime in their home country too.
Ah, thank you. I'm not a native speaker so that's not what I imagined when I read that he "attended the protest for 5 minutes".
