    Democrats can win votes by proposing that the Naza directors be given refugee status in the US.

      Why are you wasting our times saying this shit? Democrats don’t want these votes. They will support Israel until the end.

        But Democrats would win the votes of those who disapprove of Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza.

          I’m not saying that is bad. I’m saying things are bad enough that the opposition will do wha they can to keep support for the genocide high.

      I don’t believe they would be safe in America. Whole lot of countries they can go to that would be safe

      Then again, empty promises is a hallmark of the Democratic party

        They should be safe. Many Americans including those who are Jewish disapprove of Netanyahu’s actions in Gaza.

          The US government views itself as Israel’s closest ally. The government cares far more about what Israel says and wants than it does domestic Jewish opinion

          Trump would have to power to jave them unilaterally deported. Just send his ICE goons after them

          I do agree with you democrats could win a few votes by promising asylum. It’s just an empty promise though, because Trump is the only one that actually has the power to make that decision, as is typical of a dictator

      We can’t even keep the refugees we’ve already promised asylum safe, what makes you think the democrats will do any better for these two?

      Stop suggesting this. It’s gross as hell.

      Setting aside the fact that the current Democratic leadership – Hakeem Jefferies and Chuck Schumer – are ardent Zionists, it makes me so angry that you see this problem, and your solution is asylum. For the purpose of ‘winning votes’.

      You should be demanding the US stop funding and arming the people who want to kill them, their families, and millions of Palestinians.

      It’s like hearing that a child is being abused at home and suggesting that Target should buy them tickets to Disneyland because it would generate good press.

      Sort your priorities out, mate. Christ.

        How do you get the US to stop Netanyahu without getting the politicians in office to do it? Do you think Democrats or Republicans would be more willing to do this?

    Sad, but what do you expect from an evil society. I would like to think that this wouldn’t the happen in America, but then I saw they raided a congresswoman house trying to build a case to remove her citizenship for deportation. Evil all around.

    I am very sure they expected this to be the case in the current political climate in Israel and made their preparations.

      Yeah.

      I have high hopes that one day, they will be among the future leaders of a new Israel-Palestine.

      People like these – as well as many Palestinians currently in detention or living in exile – will be the Nelson Mandelas of whatever is one day built over the ruins of the present Nakba.
