Legislation being introduced on Tuesday would put terrorist supporters, including those backing Hamas and those who call for violence against Jews, on the no-fly list, as anti-Israel campus protests engulf colleges across the country.
Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., is introducing the No Flights for Terrorists Act, which would put individuals on the Transportation Security Administration’s no-fly list if they have encouraged violence against Jews, pledged support for terrorist groups, or have been disciplined by higher education institutions for such conduct.
Terrorist organizations are designated as such by the secretary of state, and include Hamas, the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps, Palestine Islamic Jihad and the Palestine Liberation Front. Currently, the no-fly list is a small subset of the terror watchlist that contains the information of known or suspected terrorists.
The bill is being co-sponsored by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and comes after thousands of protesters have been arrested at colleges and universities in recent weeks, since the formation of an encampment at Columbia University on April 18.
There have been a number of allegations of discrimination against Jewish students, with students saying they feel unsafe on campus and have been intimidated. One student group from Columbia Law reportedly declared that no Jew is "safe" or "free" until "Palestine" is free.

At this point, I'm willing to consider that the US federal government is actually run by the Mosad and has been for decades.
No need for Mossad conspiracy when the US government is literally run by Zionists. Those who aren’t Zionists are coerced to vote in lockstep through AIPAC’s carrot-and-stick system of campaign spending, not to mention the billionaire network that brought Elon Musk to heel

You should look into the killing of JFK. And why did Mike Pompeo disallow Trump's release of the CIA's files on that?
Note that Pompeo is a huge Zionist.
Nobody should be placed on a federal no fly list without a relevant criminal conviction. Prohibiting people from flying on the basis of suspicion, prejudice, or political bias is unconstitutional and lawless.

Add that to civil asset forfeiture! These have no place in a society that honors due process.
Where is flight/aviation mentioned in the Constitution I must have missed that part
@ReformSmeltLibertarian2wks2W
I see, so states can bar you from traveling in a car? I see no mention of cars in the constitution.
Necessity is always the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants...

Most all elected republican officials have done nothing to stop Biden's unconstitutional arrests, trials and imprisonments of their very own voters, the J6 defendants, hunted down since Jan 2021. Most all U.S. veterans, many decorated and injured, with zero priors as they were too busy defending their rights and freedoms!
@PaellaJerryNo Labels2wks2W
Allegiance and affiliation to the terror state of israel ought to put one on this "No Fly List", starting with Blackburn and Marshall.
Would they include ppl who incite crimes against Muslims or other religious backgrounds on the list? Or is just for Jews
Chutzpah wild
@9M9NWZKConstitution2wks2W
they aren't terrorists, they are exercising their first amendment right, but if they aren't legal citizans, then they should be removed
people still wonder how and why do US military invade and destabilize a country; and then come to realize that these politicians will sell their citizens and country for mere dollars
or they are compromised beyond repair ... that they will DO ANYTHING to keep the 'videos' hidden

Do you think it's fair for students to be put on a no-fly list for participating in protests, even if those protests are about deeply held beliefs?
@9M9PKWB 2wks2W
no, the right to protest is in the 1st amendment, and given they are protesting the government, and its support of genocide, it would be unconstitutional to deny them the right to protest, especially when no such bill has been put to stop KKK and neo-nazi protests.
