So, basically if you can establish a spurious link between support for Palestine and support for Hamas then you get to call them terrorist and curtail that person's constitutional rights.

Benjamin Netanyahu must be sweating himself.

Assuming the reports are true and putting both things together, Israel is lead by at the very least a terrorist sympathizer.

Of course, this law is not going to be applied consistently.

It's okay the dems are already violently supressing the protests anyways

Yes, but this will be worse. Is it difficult to understand that things can be bad now, but much worse if we don't act, and that's something we should avoid?

So you protest genocide, get beaten and silenced, and somehow still want to vote for the people that did that?

Compared to the people who want to label you literally a terrorist so you can be legally tortured and murdered in the streets en masse for protesting? Yes.
