Roger did us the courtesy of actually finding the facts regarding this.

He was not suspended an entire semester. Khalil was suspended for one day. His "offensive actions" had nothing to do with antisemitic remarks.

It has always been a gray area because, the Bill of rights notwithstanding, the constitution does not grant aliens a "right" to reside in US territory.


That's a fair statement. Even as to citizens, the First Amendment is not absolute. "You can't yell fire in a crowded theater if there's no fire."

My comments are to rebut the misstatements of "noncitizens don't have Constitutional rights in the US!"

and Arab Israeli citizens

Israel doesn’t allow Palestinians to get Israeli citizenship so I’m not sure who you are referring to or how that is relevant.

which renders the "Israeli apartheid" rhetoric to be a sort of unfortunate hyperbole.


Respectfully, you don’t know what you’re talking about. This is well-documented and Israel doesn’t deny harassing and segregating Palestinians.

Before you toss out terms like "Israeli Apartheid," you should should know what I'm referring to though. That's the point.

About 10% of the Knesset are Arabs.

How does the rest of the Middle East treat those individuals?

Jordan lets Palestinians living in Israel get Jordanian passports. I’m not sure how a Palestinian who travels to other middle eastern countries is treated. That really has no bearing on how Palestinians are treated by the Israeli government.

You sound like you've not been given a complete picture.

In 1988, Jordan severed legal and administrative ties with the West Bank, stripping most West Bank Palestinians of citizenship, though some retained temporary Jordanian passports for travel purposes only, not conferring citizenship.

Jordan’s policies are exceedingly restrictive. Most Palestinians in Israel don't qualify. For those in Israel, especially in East Jerusalem and holding Israeli permanent residency, Jordan may issue temporary "T-passports." But T-passports are restricted to individuals with historical ties to Jordanian citizenship or residency permits. They are typically only valid for one year. They can be used to travel to Arab countries that don’t recognize Palestinian Authority passports.

Are you acknowledging that Israel refuses to issue citizenship or passports to Palestinians living in Israel?

No. Israel issues both. Israel does not issue passports for the WB or Gaza. Those are issued by the PA.

Without the Constitution, we are just another country.

And what good are we as a sovereign nation if there's no difference between our citizens, and a foreigner??

You people want to act like our Constitution is for the whole world instead of reserved for our citizens. Providing basic human rights is one thing, but that's provided out of general respect. Not automatic, and van definitely be taken away.

BTW - your "centrist" schtick isn't working.

This is such an ignorant statement that it makes a response difficult. I'm not arguing that our Constitution applies to the "whole world." I'm not arguing that Khalil cannot be deported. He can and will be.

You don't care what the law is. You insist that it should be what you want it to be.

I'm not a Centrist. I'm a Christian Nationalist and a Constitutionalist. I won't bother to explain any of that to you, because it would be a waste of time for both of us.

Enjoy the beautiful weather.

Imagine President AOC throwing out an Israeli student for “supporting genocide” or Blinken or Hilldawg deporting a foreign student for criticizing Zelensky. You guys are bloodthirsty and just want wins, but never stop to think what may happen when the other side wields that power the same way.


The alternative is worse. The alternative being that once the US lets foreigners into the country - on visa or green card - and those foreigners actively and publicly subvert U.S. policy then the government is powerless to do anything. That is absurd. these are foreigners. Oh well, we have these foreign citizens in our country actively working against U.S. interests but we cannot do anything about it unless they commit a crime is really an extremely stupid take in my opinion.

And guess what - if an Executive abuses this authority, then they are up for election every 4 years. More reason to say the Executive controls the Executive branch - as opposed to what seems popular in legal circles in trying to restrict the Executive's control of the Executive branch.
