Where is the outrage? Where have all the “humans” gone? Israel slaughtered over 400 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.

None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp

I’m tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human

They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before

That which cannot be found I desire

    I’m trying to tell you many “foreign born residents” are actually US citizens.

    Besides, your assumption is very hypothetical and not rooted in reality.

      I understand, I’m trying to communicate how that isn’t as big of a protection as it seems.

      The very same Alien Enemies Act sent US citizens of Japanese decent to interment camps. That’s not a hypothetical, it’s a line that has already been crossed.

        Apparently they were sent to internment camps using other temporary powers enacted during the war, not that precise one.

          Those powers derive from the act, it gives that wartime authority. If you read the official proclamation Trump invented a “war” on gangs to use the same powers.

          You can read Roosevelt’s proclamation here, it’s basically the same document shifted around to target Venezuelans.

          We had d3clared war on japan before the internments. We aren’t in a declared war with Hamas or Palestine @alkbch There are no ‘palestinian enemy aliens’, but there IS a US code about foreigners on visa OR US CITIZENS interfering with or attempting to do their own diplomacy with other nations. Somewhere down my tl I posted info on that.
