Caitlyn Jenner Wants Campus Protesters Deported: 'Have Fun' Being Beheaded
Newsweek.Higher education institutions have found themselves embroiled in the domestic debate over the war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas.
Students have led protests against Israel's response to the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack, raising concerns about the number of Palestinian civilians killed in the conflict.About 1,200 people were killed and 250 taken hostage during Hamas' October 7 attack.
More than 34,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, the Associated Press reported, citing local health officials, while more than 80 percent of Gaza's 2.3 million people have been displaced.The protests have sparked criticism from some Jewish leaders, who say they make Jewish and Israeli citizens feel at risk as critics say some of these protests have veered into antisemitism.Jenner, a former reality television star who formerly ran as a Republican in California's 2021 gubernatorial recall race, criticized these protesters Tuesday in a post to X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter.She reposted a video appearing to show protesters at California State Polytechnic University, Humboldt holding a rainbow umbrella—a common LGBTQ pride symbol—though whether the flag was used for this meaning in this circumstance is unclear."Deport these morons and send them to Iran or Gaza.
Have fun being burnt alive, beheaded, or pushed off a building. It is illegal, and punishable by death in the most egregious ways, to be LGBT in these hell hole regions, governed with terrorist regimes!" Jenner posted.Supporters of Israel have criticized pro-Palestinian protesters, many of whom have more liberal beliefs, for opposing Israel's offensive due to the lack of LGBTQ+ rights in Gaza.
