Yeah, how long before Muslim Americans are added to the Enemies of the People list? Ask the Japanese-Americans if reparations a few generations from now will be worth it.

If we were dealing with Mitt Romney, George Bush, even Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc. I'd get their point and understand the move. As it is...good luck.

I was in Munich a few weeks ago. I toured Dachau concentration camp. It was the model for all others. The German were proud of it. The Nazis rounded up 7 million people with no cell phones, computers, GPS, or TV. They went house to house.

Will the white American Trump supporters in MI protect these Arab Americans when the soldiers come for them? Don't for a second think that can't happen here. Trump is a moron, but Musk and Vance are not and they are total NAZIs.

I asked a local Palestinian advocate pushing тАЬNever HarrisтАЭ if they wanted to punish Harris, or if they wanted to punish the rest of the country for not caring enough about the Palestinians. He said nothing. So, itтАЩs not about Harris as much as itтАЩs about the rest of us.

Some have lost many family members to the slaughter in Gaza over the past year. Even to lose one loved one is too much. American authorities have brutally suppressed some of the campus protests supporting Palestinians. Grief is not expressed logically.

They are very short sited! Like the old adage: cutting off your nose to spite your face!

I think the Palestinians are an object lesson in how long people can be treated as if they are invisible before they start lashing out. This is a problem that predates 1948 in my view.

They are already on the list, judging from how he treated them in his term and how heavily he kissed up to Bibi.

The fact that they apparently don't realize they are on the list shows how much your perspective can get skewed when you feel butt-hurt. Same thing wih the Stein crowd.

You are so right. They need to wake up. And Stein needs to give it up and stop trying to use people to feed her own ego.

I mean, Trump already tried to ban Muslims from entering the country last time he was in office (and was partly successful). So, not long at all.

He did have a Muslim ban on people seeking residency. Didn't he?

That was eight years ago. Where and in what condition were these soon to be noseless people (as in cut off your nose to....) then? Were they in anyway poltically conscious? It would certainly appear NOT.
