The Trump administration has enacted a sweeping suspension of approvals of almost all types of visitor visas for Palestinian passport holders, according to American officials.

The new policy goes beyond the restrictions announced by U.S. officials recently on visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza. Last week, the State Department also said it would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to attend the annual U.N. General Assembly in New York next month.

    The United Nations no longer deserves to be hosted in the United States. As the country becomes more authoritarian, the country has lost that right. It’s time to move it elsewhere.

      You’re idealizing. The beltway has been racist forever so much so that the government had to pay businesses to serve foreign diplomats.

        Oh shut the fuck the fuck up about Harris. There were 2 candidates: one who kept quiet and one who said they should just finish it once and for all get it over with.

        You idiots chose the guy who said he want to our gas in the fire

        You got played, used. You fucked up. But stop blaming other people for your shitty choices.

          Biden allowed israel to finish the job, trump did too, harris would too. One is a honest scum , the other is a hypocrite scum.

          Stop pretending that you ever cared about palestinians

          Both harris and trump voters who defend their choice are complicit in the.genocide like you scum. You has over 150 years to stop voting for the same terrible cult it was bound to happen that the worse of the worse would win

            With Biden / Harris, it was more like that scene in Saving Private Ryan where the guy was slowly plunging the knife into the other guy. With Chuck Schumer right there going “Shhh!”
