  1. If you are talking about Khalil, he didn't just speak against Israel, it seems like his role in an org which openly supported Hamas may have played a part but didn't matter legally. The legal issue was that he left out facts on his green card application.

    I am 100% sure that support of terrorist orgs can invalidate your green card.

    > According to recent court filings, President Donald Trump's administration said Khalil failed to disclose when applying for his green card last year that his employment by the Syria Office at the British Embassy in Beirut went "beyond 2022" and that he was a "political affairs officer" for the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees from June to November 2023.

    > "Regardless of his allegations concerning political speech, Khalil withheld membership in certain organizations and failed to disclose continuing employment by the Syria Office in the British Embassy in Beirut when he submitted his adjustment of status application. It is black-letter law that misrepresentations in this context are not protected speech," the government said in the filing.

    Most of these things are not black/white. We should wait for all the facts to come out.

  2. The analogies are all over the place lol.

    Is social media pure evil like tobacco OR is it a necessity like a utility?

    How can it be both?

    EU pretends it is both while getting backdoor access.
