    …and let me guess. Critizing Israel’s actions is tacit support of Hezbollah?

    It doesn’t matter where in the world you are, the issue with forcibly deporting people is always the same: what do you do if the country you want to deport them to refuses to take them?

    And the only answers I can see are let them go free in your country or keep them locked up indefinitely.

        Not really, if you just gather all the people you commit atrocities against, and send them to the middle east, you might get away with it. Hell you might even claim to be a bastion of peace and freedom.

        Some more ideas:

        Call the people you sent “civilized” against “barbarians”

        Call them “the only democracy” in the middle east (you might need to overthrow some government in the nearby regions)

        Commit more atrocities so more and more people go to your “solution”.

      That is true. The swedish government is pushing quite hard to overfill prisons, probably in a long term plan to force it towards privatization. So I would not be surprised if it is even part of the plan.

      But, also, I think one strategy suggested is just paying them. Threaten with prison, see at what price they break.

        It can be difficult period. Why should any country take immigrants your country doesn’t want for any reason?

        And “terrorist supporter” could be a very broad category. Are you a terrorist supporter if you support resistance against Israeli troops in Gaza? Because Israel and some of its allies would say yes.

    Good, immigrants who support terrorism don’t belong in Sweden or any other Western country.

    Send them back and let them live with the organization they support.

      Because what we’ve found is governments are so good at determining who is right in a particular conflict.

        If they are non-citizen immigrants advocating for organizations who use violence to attain their goals then they are not a good fit for Western Democracies and should be deported.

          Especially if they immigrated from a western democracy. They need to go back to their hive of evil and treachery. Pesky democracy havers.

            Non-Citizens who support terrorist organizations then they should be deported back to their country of origin full stop.

            If that is another Western Democracy then so be it.

      So we should deport Israelis because Israel backed Hamas’ displacement of the secular moderates with predictable results?

      Don’t pretend your hatred is principled.

    When you look the other way while Gaza hosts Hamas, and Lebanon hosts Hezbollah, and Syria hosts Iranian weapons shipments, when they all attack Israel with Iranian funded rockets and incursions, the fucking around part, and only pipe up when Israel responds in the attempt to defend itself and wipe out it’s enemies, because it’s enemies are embedded in civilian populations for the sole reason of ginning up your support when Israel is forced to respond, the finding out part, then you’re a supporter of Terrorism.

    If the fucking around part doesn’t get you to speak up, but only the finding out part does, bad news, you’re an antisemite.

      Hamas are Palestinians, hizbollah are Lebanese. Hosting arms in Syria is just like the USA having bases all over the world. Resistance groups in history committed many atrocities against civilians due to the lack of justice. The occupying power will always be responsible for everything happening to them. Don’t colonize people and expect the oppressed to be nice to you
