A new House Republican bill would send any person charged and convicted for illegal activity on a college campus to Gaza for at least six months.

Rep. Andy Ogles, R-Tenn., introduced the bill on Wednesday alongside Reps. Randy Weber, R-Texas, and Jeff Duncan, R-S.C., in response to the ongoing anti-Israel demonstrations on college campuses across the country.

Several of those protests have turned violent, with clashes between police and activists, as well as hundreds of activists being arrested across multiple campuses.

While Ogles’ bill text does not mention Israel or the anti-Israel groups, it specifically targets unlawful activity on college campuses after Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas militants invaded Israel in a surprise attack that killed over 1,000 people. 

Those convicted would be forced to serve a minimum six-month community service sentence in Gaza, where Israel is currently waging a brutal campaign to eradicate Hamas and rescue the remaining Israelis that terrorists took hostage in October.

I hate that this is how our taxes are spent.

 

I propose every lawmaker wasting time for dumb bills has to work at a minimum wage job for 1 year.

Unlikely that a law like this would ever A.) pass the Senate or B.) be upheld by the courts, but still very incendiary grandstanding nonetheless

I think you can call out the failures of a politician without seeming like you're endorsing their opponent. The "genocide joe crowd" knows that Trump is a worse option, but that doesn't mean that Biden is handling the genocide in Gaza well, and he should rightfully be called out on it.

Genocide Joe thinks scaring us with GOP will somehow make us forget his crimes against humanity.

Y’all think he’s somehow orchestrating the GOP being an absolute fascist freak show? Be so fr

Do. Not. Attack. Democracy.

 

don’t care what side you’re on. Leave it alone. Go take a history class and knock it off. You’re spreading crap. It’s unacceptable. Everyone may have the right to their opinion under US LAW, but learn some respect.

It doesn't get more un-serious than this. They call it a bill ? It doesn't even mean anything. There should be mechanisms in place to prevent this sort of garbage from ever seeing the light of day.

I mean the mechanism is that this will never leave committee and will be left to rot in an in-tray for the remainder of the year.
