Zionists don't see Palestinians as fully human. Further, a significant % of Zionists view Palestinians as sub-human / 'untermensch'. Zionists, in totality, constitute a deranged death-cult that exists among us. You can't be a good Zionist. At best, a small % may be naive, stupid or easily led.

While detained at Michigan’s North Lake Processing Center, Lucia learned she was pregnant — a nightmare scenario for her and many other women who are held in ICE custody. “I saw a woman who gave birth,” she said. “I saw her in a wheelchair with her newborn crying. I never saw her or her baby again.”

According to government records, ICE detained approximately 498 pregnant, postpartum, or nursing immigrants between Jan. 1, 2025, and Feb. 16, 2026. The detention of pregnant people shows an alarming shift away from Biden-era policies that required their immediate release from federal custody.
