re: All student visas were just 'halted' by the Trump Administration.

The whole theory was supposed to be that you walked out of college theoretically educated whatever that word specifically means. But nowadays you've got tons of Majors which are so fricking niche that they barely are more than a intellectual trade. If that.
And what exactly do we mean by educated anyways? I mean I have a master's degree. I like to think I'm pretty educated. But there's tons of shite where I would be lost as frick next to people that most would refer to as uneducated. The same Bubba who probably would be lost as frick if I talked about statistical analysis or hell even just relatively basic geometry would probably be the first guy I called if the power went out for a protracted amount of time and I needed to figure out how to live off the land.
i have a masters as well. got it several years after graduating.
barely graduated my 5 years at lsu with a 2.0
basically i wiped the slate clean when i got out of school and started over using my love of computers to work my way into a career.
all i learned at LSU is that the Quarter is 1 hour away and if you work the bars around campus enough, you'll occasionally snag a cute girl to spend time with.
but guess what? my minimum wage job paid enough that i could afford my shitty living arrangements and tuition so at least i didnt feel i was wasting $100,000 in loans or making my parents suffer my stupidity.
now, students still do the same thing but they're 6 figures in debt after 4 years.

The greatest ally propaganda has worked on many, though.

Here. I'm totally okay with being candid. Israel isn't doing enough. In fact if I were in charge of Israel you would have no fricking doubt that Israel would be doing exactly what it's being accused of doing. It wouldn't be debatable. I would be making it completely unlivable in Gaza.
War isn't pretty. I realize that modern media coming out of the Vietnam War somehow convinced us that you can reasonably fight a war against an enemy by simply attacking the people wearing a uniform. At no point in the history of the world has that actually been true but for some reason we've convinced ourselves that it is. No. You defeat an enemy the same way we defeated the Germans in the same way we defeated the Japanese. We made the price of supporting the troops greater than the public was willing to bear. That's how you fight a fricking War. Anything else is a waste of time and frankly you should just surrender

They are doing what they're accused of doing
They're deliberately killing civilians, killing aid workers, attacking schools and hospitals and murdering journalists that aren't there being paraded around by the Israeli military. Israel is pure evil and we don't need to be supporting them for any reason.

What's under those schools and hospitals?

Wait, I thought we wanted money from other countries to flow into ours? Foreign students pump a lot of money from other countries into our economy

Which terrorists hide among as practice.

Who have been caught working directly with Hamas.

That those terrorists use to wage war, again......as practice.

murdering journalists
Those lines have been blurred so much in Gaza that there is no way to determine who is an actual, real journalist. Hell, a few "journalists" even participated in the October 7 attacks.

'War' is the battles of two armies against one another. 'War' is not one exceptionally equipped army against 20,000 babies, and 50,000 civilians while the political entity runs around in 30 Toyota pickups.
You could expound further by adding that 'war' is also not the military actions that simultaneously accompany systemic apartheid against those.
Lot of land issues in addition but another chapter for another day.
The world is not going to just look away from criminal behaviors.

You'll find an excuse for any war crime they commit

And you will call anything they do a war crime whilst ignoring the war crimes of Hamas. Their very existence is dependent upon war crimes.
You're being disingenuous as hell, and you fricking well know it.

If you apply for a job your social media is fair game. Why shouldn’t it be if you’re applying for a VISA?

I'm willing to bet that we already look into social media posting when it comes to visa applicants. You'd have to be pretty dumb to think we don't.

What this more than likely reveals is that Israel's actions are indefensible. If you have to suppress protests against their actions it's not because they're doing anythin good.
No what it reveals is that our universities are cesspools staffed with dishonest lunatics, that when combined with students from shite holes with no western values, generates genocidal maniacs who then birth little genocidal maniacs that we have to call citizens.
Again, you can't have nice things with modern regressives.

You think the previous admin who created an app to let in criminals from Mexico and South America was looking at the social media posts of visa applicants?
