The students (and not students) that aren't citizens need to be deported. The ones that are citizens and say they are Hamas (which is classified in the US as terrorists) and say death to jews and America should be tried for treason. The least should be done to them is they are thrown out of school permanently. These are not 12-13 year olds and they are not stupid.

Treason is a word thrown about a lot in these sorts of circumstances, the constitution states that Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against [the United States], or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort.
I do not think these people were doing any of the above, it’s not as if they stormed the parliament in a capital city and set up gallows to hang people they disagreed with. Or smashed up the actual seat of government forcing elected officials to run for their safety. Now if they did that I can see where that would be treason
They seem to be actually wanting to stop a war, where over 30,000 people have been killed, including 13,800 children [figures from Save The Children Charity]. What Hamas did was beyond comprehension, but I pretty sure none of those children were involved.
They have a right to protest, I disagree with the way they are doing it, but they think [and often it is true], the ends justify the means and if people on a Toy Soldier forum are talking about it then their message is getting across. The war needs to stop, the US is the one single entity that has the power to stop it and do not seem to be doing a lot to stop the killing of children and the innocent. Bad things happen if good stand by and do nothing.
Target Hamas, they are the terror organisation whose activities started this, not the children.
Can people also not automatically think and say that protesting against the actions of the Government of Israeli is antisemitic. You can be against them without being antisemitic, we have to accept that some of the people are antisemitic, but not the majority who are against what the government is doing. It is the attitude of the ill informed or people who have another agenda. I am against what the Israeli government are currently doing, but support them to go after the people who did the terrorist attack, in a justified manner.
One thing I ask people to think about is the action of bombing the Hospital in Gaza because the Israeli’s said there were terrorist hiding in the basement. Likely there were, but firstly do you think the doctors/nurses and patients had the power to stop them being there and secondly would they have bombed a hospital in Israeli if there were terrorists hiding in the basement? I think not?
