I keep seeing commenters and people on Twitter saying ‘Send them to Gaza.’ Well, here you go. FOX News reports: College anti-Israel agitators could be sent to Gaza under new House GOP bill ~ 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. [Snip] 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.

However much we might wish such, it isn't a legal punishment whatever the crime. GOP reps should stop with this idiocy and get down to real business. We have an election to protect and win and when we do, our Congress needs to hit the door running hell-bent for results.

I'd chip in a few bucks. Don't even have to land. Push em out with chutes kinda guaranteed to open. If they make it 6 months, give em another 6 more. Problem solved.

Purely symbolic. In reality, it will never happen. The clown show continues, but it keeps attention away from things they don't want discussed.

There was a post on the Ames reddit asking where the protests were so this person could go. They did not specify what kind of protest - obviously someone totally clueless.

I could get behind doing that. Sometimes a reality check is whats needed.

I have my doubts about this particular idea, but I do wonder whether those who shout “We are Hamas” shouldn’t be taken at their word and dealt with accordingly.

Absurd. They can't even pass a budget or secure the border, much less this grandstanding stunt.

This is a silly measure, born of frustration.
Maybe a better one would be to identify the hamasses as lobbying for a foreign entity without having so registered.

Six months in Gaza followed by six months in North Korea would be more the ticket. And I am sure that "community service" in NORK has a whole different meaning.

Pretty foolish to even bring it up, it will never pass. A place having a better chance would be Gitmo, a place where terrorists and anti-American thugs are sent.

But we can dream, can't we?
Imagine! Drag Queen story time with the little ones. Gay pride parades in June. Dykes on bikes leading the way! PFLAG signs everywhere! Rainbow flags on every home! Students who can protest without fear of any recrimination. Sounds great!

All those whining that the Republicans should "do something" Need to remember that the Republicans have only a one vote majority in the House (and that one vote is a RINO) and Democrats control the Senate and the Whitehouse. What, exactly, do you expect them to do?

Most of these “protestors” probably don’t know Gaza from their local MacDonalds. It would be a life changing experience for them to spend six months there. Following that, they might have some credibility..

Republicans need to focus on serious legislation that will keep Biden in check. Throwing this silly red meat to conservatives is condescending and a waste of time.

Lots of things that are law today started out as 'It'll never pass' years ago. Ya gotta start somewhere. This won't go anywhere now..... but it sure sounds good to me!
Let the LGBTQ+ crowd live in a hard-core Islamist country for 6 months..... IF they can make it that far without being thrown off a roof! Same for the radical leftist loudmouth harpies!
