Also, please provide references or there's no reason for anyone to take your comments seriously.

I'm not saying your comments are in bad faith, I don't know (and encourage you to provide links to back up your statements), but these comments are reminiscent of frequently made bad faith comments, so the only way to differentiate is by providing that evidence with your statements.

The choice to lie suggests a guilty conscience with something to hide, which adds more weight to Mr. Piker's competing interpretation of the event as targeted or escalated harassment.

This is incorrect. The kid you're referring to is not a member of the Houthi tribe, and there's no evidence he's a terrorist aside from him saying some angry stuff on social media (and what teenage boy hasn't, especially one living right next to a country committing genocide). I'm sorry but that's just not enough to call someone a terrorist, and calling him one anyway is pretty shitty. Words have meaning, please try to treat them as such.

hell yeah, me too

what a comrade

I used to look up to the US because this kind of bullshit wouldn't fly. Was I mistaken?

The Government taking action against a citizen for voicing opinions it does not agree with falls pretty clearly into what the 1st amendment covers. This is not a "yelling fire in a crowded theater" type scenario where speech is being restricted for the benefit of many.

If you call Hamas a "terrorist" organization, that just means you are on the Israeli side, and says more about you than anything else.

People that support Palestine don't consider Hamas a "terrorist" organization, and in fact, consider them heroes.

It just shows your bias when you declare Hamas to be a "terrorist" organization.

Americans have every right to express support for Hamas. The US government isn't the arbiter of speech. It's perfectly fine to support Hamas. The vast majority of the world supports Hamas over Israel.

i have also seen videos of him unequivocally stating “the murders by hamas on innocent people was unequivocally disgusting and wrong, even though they’re wrong, this doesn’t magically justify the multiple times over murder of other innocents just for some kind of retribution, thousands of them are innocent people too.” [1]

i have also seen pieces edited from the same videos that always seem to remove the first and last part contexts and only show the out of context pieces.

again though, i haven’t spent much time, only wanted to add the wider context that i have personally seen.

[1] paraphrasing because i honestly don’t have time to spend hours digging through videos, but the sentiment is spot on to what ive seen him say multiple times.
