* I don’t know what the law says about deporting (or whatever this is) someone like Mahmoud
* I don’t trust Trump to follow the law and do this correctly
* I have zero sympathy for someone that says they want to bring down all of Western civilization
* The US is a better place without Mahmoud in it

> For decades, anti-Palestinian racism has driven efforts to expand U.S. laws and practices that are used to violently repress Palestinians, Arab Americans, and other communities. That is precisely why I am being targeted.
This part is very important, I feel. Violence against Israelis is correctly analysed under the lens of antisemitism, but the opposite is never done for the Palestinians. When Israeli and American leaders open express their desires to cleanse Gaza, barely anyone speaks of Anti-Palestinian racism. When an American-Palestinian child was shot and killed and a American-Palestinian teenager was crippled for life after 7 October, nobody wrote pieces in the media about the scourge of anti-Palestinian racism in American society. The double standard is apparent.
