      Yes. The narrow case is that if you express support for a designated foreign terrorist organization that is grounds for denying your visa, or revoking your status. So if you are on a student visa and went to a protest wearing a hamas headband and carrying the flag then you’ll end up on a plane out of the US.

      Where it gets iffy is the question about people who showed up to a protest and didn’t know or see or agree with the hamas flags being flown there

        Despite the Zionist rhetoric, Hamas != Palestine.

        Saying “The Palestinians deserve to have a land of their own” is not the same as saying “I support Hamas.”

          Agree. The vast majority of people at those protests do not support Hamas as an organization and certainly not their methods. I simply believe they’ll be accusing people at the rallies that did have Hamas/Hezbollah flags of guilt by association.
