I see this happen in the West Bank DAILY as Israel will detain little kids, wives, mothers - all in an attempt to get the father. I am so angry.

That's despicable to hear, it's like they are mirroring what is happening in the West Bank here, and to use children, wives, relatives to break the father's spirit and arrest him? Unconscionable. This is such a messed up and unjust situation

Israel trained them well. Injustice has reached our homes. It won’t stop at this one incident. Time has only allowed this report to be witnessed. I pray for his family and that no more children live like this. I live in fear every day. It’s like America wants our children to live in fear. Otherwise why is it our policy?

Unfortunately we train them and they train us. The world is a cruel and evil place.

Well said, Whitney. These are grim times indeed, no child should have to live like this in the West Bank or here. It's like what grotesque injustices are being carried out there are mirrored here.

It’s been the plan the whole time. It’s not like they haven’t been practicing until this series of opportunities to enforce it. They announced it for Plan 2025 or whatever that was.

Across the globe we have our brothers and sisters suffering while the media is silent and/or complicit. Now the oppressors are growing louder and prouder that this mission of supremacy is succeeding without much resistance from those who are responsible for stopping it.

I really am terrified that they’re holding back so the sheep that are following along don’t get spooked before they have enough power to pull off a full scale civil war.

Why else is this clown the president and calling all these shots unchecked? While shaking hands and hugging on self proclaimed genocide leaders and dictators.

I live life these days at a boil inside because I call on any of the people in charge to do the right thing. To set us in the right direction. But my heart sinks every time I open articles to find it’s worse every day.

On my own soil they’ve taken a 5-year old boy hostage to bait our citizens for kidnapping. This child will now live with that trauma for the rest of his life and if he’s lucky he will overcome it on most days but it will always be there. USA we did that.

I speak from experience because growing up in America we train our children from birth to expect trauma. It’s not an “if”, it’s a when. And that’s not everyone’s experience. It depends on your zip code and your skin tone how heavy the impact finds you. And it is proven over and over, that skin tone and zip code will never completely stop the violence from reaching our homes. Because evil doesn’t really care at the end of the day your skin tone, area code, or status. Neither does ICE and they’re roaming with no consequences.

It will be our children next because that was our child taken with no consent. We should all be furious and I’m calling on every mother to put their child in that position. Because they’re next. It’s a promise. Any mother should be livid if they haven’t been paying attention or been able to get perspective on this world right now.

I am so angry that the last ten years of American politics has turned me into the kind of person that wishes harm on people. I want these villains to feel and experience exactly what they've done to people, and I know so many of them will never face any consequences whatsoever.

Shaun King's avatar

It's changing all of us. I feel it too.

I know you're just trolling through "progressive" comment sections to advertise your mediocre essays. A quick skim of your activity on here shows the "manosphere" has already poisoned you. I hope someday you come to your senses and realize how much hate has been driven into your heart using your own insecurity against you.

Go back and look at the history of when and where and why I C E was created: not about immigration ENFORCEMENT at all…I want y’all to use proper terms when talking about “thugs doing their jobs” …

The border patrol has specific jobs

Our police have specific jobs

Reservists

And all have pledged their allegiance to ???? They need to be and can be held accountable!

You are right Kandi.

Already happened here last year in our elementary school in Quakertown Pennsylvania we do not have school busing for elementary students we have to drive and pick up

the school principal who was absolutely the best principal ever was fired the next day trying to protect the children . We have tried to make the MAGA school board be held accountable still to this day nothing. Although they were overwhelmingly voted out with our last election. Still no justice.

My husband and I raise our grandchildren I stood there and watched the whole affair we were definitely out numbered by rude DUI pushed shoved if you try to help you may think like I did that you would never let such a thing happen never but being there threatened with weapons all I had were my arthritic hands and a purse all I could do was spit on them I couldn’t think fast enough to this day it haunts us. There is no forgetting it and definitely no forgiveness

They do this to Palestinians, why should we assume they wouldn't at home?

Lewis C. Taishoff's avatar

The Russians did it in Afghanistan, used bombs disguised as children's toys as terror weapons. This is Nazism, nothing less. The Zionazis do likewise.

TruthMatters's avatar

The horrors of Palestine and the IGOF is coming home, worse is coming...

Hard to balance the grief and rage. Every time I see a child harm s/he becomes my own. How do parents cope with this pain? 💔😡

We did say that it was not going to stop at Gaza. But we ignored what’s happening there and thought yeah that’s happening to violent brown people who deserves what’s happening to them, it won’t happen to us now will it. Well, well…

It's so sick and depraved.
