Our government has banned people from Muslim nations we have bombed, or planned to bomb, we aren’t banning allies such as the KSA, Indonesia, the largest Muslim nation in the world, or even Malaysia.

<div class="">When we stop our government from bombing and/or intervening in nations with covert operations intent on regime change, sanctions and economic destruction, such as NAFTA affecting both sides of the borders. When we do something about climate change,
and the crime our actions create, then people won’t be forced to leave their countries to come here to be treated so badly, because its only going to get worse. </div>

<div dir="ltr" class="">I'm not sure of the precise origin of the notion of "hate crimes" in the law in our own country, if there is such an origin; but my sense--perhaps more directly applicable to European and Canadian laws that directly monitor speech--has
long been that what Norman Finkelstein has called the "Holocaust Industry" contributed to the development of such a notion, by equating the actuality of the Holocaust, anti-semitic beliefs, and criticism of Israel's very real crimes.

One of the most misunderstood lines in Shakespeare is Hamlet’s “...there is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”<br class="">
<br class="">
Here a FOA (Friend of AWARE) brilliantly applies it to current US politics (h/t K. Aram):<br class="">
<br class="">
"Today I had two discussions, one with people advocating hate crime laws, and another with people defending Antifa, and it occurred to me that they were pretty much the same people.<br class="">
<br class="">
"Hate crime laws are actually thought crime laws, in that they take what is already a crime, and add years to the sentence if the perp was thinking bad thoughts when they committed the crime.<br class="">
<br class="">
"Antifas are people who commit crimes, and expect to go unpunished at all, because they were thinking good thoughts when they committed the crime.<br class="">
<br class="">
"This is magical thinking, the idea that thoughts are more important than reality. This is very American, since we have had multiple Think Yourself Rich fads, from Napoleon Hill to Oprah. And we are earnestly told that having a president who 'believes' in climate
change is more important than actual policy changes. And, of course, the latest fad in which you can think yourself right into the opposite sex. (And not in the old 'think yourself irresistible' way.)<br class="">
<br class="">
"I think I'll just be over here, in the corner, visualizing peace.” --Paula Densnow<br class="">
