Nevermind that there are several human rights groups, news organizations, medical responders, international aid etc. that would like to be in Gaza but are being denied entry. This reeks of sending people protesting terrible conditions to suffer in those conditions.
These people are mentally ill
The backward degenerates voting for them are mentally defective. The guys spouting off bullshit are profiting from their voters’ idiocy. It’s worse than mental illness, it’s malice, treason. And they should be treated accordingly.
How people can support the GOP is beyond me. These people are lower than scum.
I thought this was an onion article at first, and the it was oh, y’all are actually serious.
There should be a penalty for wasting congress’s time like this.
The GOP is frequently parroting the stupid opinions of their voters, so it isn’t that they are fooling the people as much as feeding into their voter’s stupidity.
Conservatives saying “If people care about [place] they should go live there” is something I’ve heard for decades, because I live in a backwards US state.
Ahhhh, the old “If you love that inanimate object so much, why don’t you marry it?” response. This playground reaction tracks pretty well with my understanding of major party politics. Goddamn, I miss the days when the masks were still on and policies on both sides of the aisle still had some redeeming qualities.
It’s a fantastic virtue signal. They can submit a bill, they know won’t pass because of how obtuse and vague it is. They are wasting time for performative gestures to rile up their voter base.
If this is real … man … the United States has really embraced using torture and the threat of torture … from the local police departments all the way up to the federal capital.
We didn’t even need to get invaded to have fallen.
It is intentionally extremely broad, unconstitutional, and all around garbage so that even if it passed the house, it would be thrown out by senate, the executive, or the judicial. This is performative and it doesn’t deserve you attention. Attention is all those clowns want.
Even if it passed, does the GOP think that authorities in Gaza would be like “sure send them here.” It would be completely dependent on the Gazans authorities cooperating.
I realize this isn’t actually going to happen, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around this dude’s train of thought.
It seems like “You want to protest the killing of these people? How about you go live in the area where the killings are happening!”
Does he think that will change their minds? Like, upon arriving in Gaza, these protesters will realize the errors of their ways and agree that genocide is the best option?
Is he trying to get the protestors killed by the very thing they’re protesting? That’ll teach them!
Does he not think that there is anything happening in Gaza and he wants to show them that it is actually a safe and lovely place?
Ignoring the logistics of the proposal, and accepting that this lawmaker has the viewpoint that the protesters should not be protesting, I still fail to understand what the desired outcome is and why this person thinks this is a fitting response. Like, this dude went through the trouble of writing this up and talking to people about it. Does he realize this makes no sense and he just wants to get his name in circulation by proposing nonsense?
This dude’s train of thought is, “my constituents are fucking morons, they’ll eat this shit up!”
He’s signaling to the degens that he’s one of them. He doesn’t believe this shit, of course. Dolla dolla bill.
I honestly think these people are drunk on outrage politics, and the extreme of “just revenge” is the whole point. They must somehow feel powerful introducing proposals of terrible cruelty.
I’m sure the train of thought is something more akin to, “these people support the Palestinians, but Palestinians are bad people and they’d see that if they had to live with them.”
Still stupid as hell, and racist to boot, but at least somewhat coherent?
Yeah, it completely misses the point. If you could send them there and see the benevolent IDF distributing food and water and medical care and building shelters for the people they haven’t been….bombing….then yeah sure they might change their minds.
But you can’t. Because that’s not what’s happening. Which is why they are…protesting.
“For the crime of supporting an oppressed people facing genocide, we want to send you to a war zone where you would most likely get killed by an American ally committing war crimes on a daily basis.”
“For the crime of cheering legitimate terrorists,
blah blah clever horseshit”You people continue to gloss over that on one side of this conflict is a proud terrorist org who, as a matter of practice, rapes, kidnaps and otherwise specifically targets civilians for harm in order to enact their worldview.
All of these middle-to-upper class lefties protesting on campuses would get a knife up the anus if they were caught in Hamas territory. They don’t care if you’re cheering them on from across an ocean, they still hate you and would rather you suffer and die, because you don’t fit with their religious view.
I still feel bad for the Palestinian people and separate them from their Hamas government, as it’s obvious Hamas doesn’t care about their charge, and is using them for political capital.

GOP logic…
Sure, if anyone who voted against aid for Ukraine moves to Russia and conscripted, everyone who voted against raising the minimum wage gets paid it, and everyone who complained about pronouns gets deliberately misgendered for the rest of their lives.
That would make more sense than whatever this is.
This ridiculous stunt deserved to go unnoticed.
If you support a terrorist organization, if you participate in unlawful activity on campuses, you should get a taste of your own medicine.
Deal.
- Who supported Saddam in Iraq?
- Who armed rebels to attack democratic republics multiple times?
- Who armed Syrian rebels that ended up using that equipment to attack US bases?
You might say that only opposing arm shipments to other allies is what the crime is.
Then every republican congressman and senator who denied Ukraine aid should get a one way trip to Ukraine.
I got more examples but the hypocrisy from this bill is blinding.
Fkn lol, these cunts. I don’t understand how society hasn’t run them the fuck out of our country, with whatever little regard they have for constitutional rights. Go back to russia, traitor filth.
Honestly, I’m kinda surprised the Republicans are trying to hide their true motives and not just saying they want to straight up execute the protesters.
Removed, US News and Politics is not World News.
