What is worse is that a team of teens will often come with a parent or 2, and a whole group of supporters and officials. This is easily about 50 people. Half of them will disappear in the US, and never return to that Venezuela $$ithole.
@no1marauder saidThe laws of war aka the Geneva Convention was violated multiple times by Hamas. israel does not need to follow this GC now when dealing with a terrorist organisation that does not follow any rules or who rape and kill children.
You're a liar; I condemn all war crimes.
You claim that the laws of war do not apply to one side.
You are a racist sociopath.
And the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians didn't start on October 7, 2023, so your constant claim it did is an outright falsehood.
The conflict started decades ago yes, and was started by the Arabs in 1948 because they did not want Jews in Palestine. But this WAR, got started on 7th Oct 2023.
Name calling shows you lack facts.
@no1marauder saidLet them defect then. But granting them official visas?

I agree with the US.
Keep them out.

@Rajk999 saidViolations by one side does not justify violations by another as even you concede. There are no exceptions and "tu quoque ("you did it too" )" was rejected as a defense at Nuremberg and before.

This isn't a new war but the same one Israel has been waging against Gaza for decades. October 7, 2023 is merely a justification for higher levels of force; Israeli troops were killing Gazans and vice versa prior to that date in 2023.
My descriptions of your amoral beliefs are accurate. I really dislike engaging with such an individual on this Forum to tell the truth; your beliefs that certain ethnic groups are inferior and deserve to be dominated by others and your willingness to support mass murder of them if they resist such treatment is reminiscent of Nazi ideology. It is impossible to reason with someone who has such beliefs.
@Rajk999 saidThe average Palestinian did not engage in that war but they are dying by the thousands. Don't read that as me supporting HAMAS, they are barbarians just like the regimes in Iran and Russia, Putin in particular is first order barbarian.
The one that started it. It should be obvious.
What I dont understand is why this is not obvious.
He would run his own mother under the bus if it meant he stays out of jail.
Bombing train stations filled with Ukrainians just trying to get out of dodge and live. Bombing maternity hospitals deliberately.
Israel did the same, bombing hospitals where the workers inside, nurses, doctors, aids, janitors were shot by Hamas if they left the building and there WERE such shootings.
@Rajk999 saidThey can't enter the US without visas, so they can't defect. At present, the Trump administration has illegally paused all asylum applications anyway.

Political vengeance against children should appall a person with a shred of morality.
@no1marauder saidFoolish people will fight a war against an enemy that follows no rules, but they are following all. Those who do that are idiots, and will die like idiots. War is not about following stupid rules, but about winning and eliminating the enemy.

You cannot reason with me because you want to see Jews eliminated or dead, hence we have no common ground, because if the Jews followed the Geneva Convention they would be all dead by now.
@Rajk999 saidYou should seek a mental health professional as soon as possible; these beliefs are insane.

Political asylum was stopped at the border. There is a legally accepted way to apply for such asylum.

@no1marauder saidThe Jews are mentally unstable as well. That is why good decent people like Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis and Iran cannot touch them, and have lost every single fight, battle, skirmish etc with them.

Hey here is a good one for you to mull over. Apparently when the Jews were attacking Irans nuke facilities during the 12 day way, dozens of Iranian missiles facititles malfunctioned and exploded in itself, when they were started up. It is in the news that Israel hacked into their software and messed with it. Reminds me of the pager bombs ... Lol .😀.
You picked the wrong side. Anyway you probably cannot help it ... Losers side with losers.

@sonhouse saidHamas has weapons facilities, military installations in every hospital, mosque, school, etc. Rockets were being launched from these sites. When the IDF returned fire it hit a hospital etc. According to the Geneva Convention these facilites lose their protected status in such cases.

@Rajk999 saidThe law passed in 1980 specifically allows asylum claims to be presented anywhere in the US:
Let the children stay in the home/country their parents created.
Political asylum was stopped at the border. There is a legally accepted way to apply for such asylum.
Any alien who is physically present in the United States or who arrives in the United States (whether or not at a designated port of arrival and including an alien who is brought to the United States after having been interdicted in international or United States waters), irrespective of such alien’s status, may apply for asylum in accordance with this section or, where applicable, section 1225(b) of this title.

@AverageJoe1 saidResponsible grown ups should have taught you very early in grade school and Sunday school that "they started it" is never a valid reason for doing bad things.
But i simply agree with you, asking why the answer is not that Hamas is gulity since they started it. I am not the international expert that yall are, that's why I ask it. no riddle
