US Revokes 300 Student Visas in Crackdown on Campus Protests
This is what was really needed. It's a hell of a lot easier to deny pro-Hamas and antisemitic students a visa before they enter the U.S. that to revoke visas and remove students from the U.S. US issues broad order to consulates to vet student visas over ‘terrorist activity’ State department shares new standard for denials based on social media posts, financial donations and memberships ... The directive states that “evidence that an applicant advocates for terrorist activity, or otherwise demonstrates a degree of public approval or public advocacy for terrorist activity or a terrorist organization” can be grounds for visa rejection. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/28/student-visa-applications-denials I'm going to suggest to the State Department a list of questions that are absolutely foolproof in detecting pro-Hamas and other pro-terrorist students. "Yes" or "No" are the only answers allowed; no lengthy explanations are acceptable. 1) Is Hamas a terrorist group? 2) Does Israel have the right to exist behind secure borders as a sovereign state and homeland of the world's Jews? 3) Do you unreservedly condemn the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, as terrorist actions and war crimes without provocation or justification? 4) Should U.S. institutions of higher learning support boycotts, divestment and sanctions against Israel? And because it is necessary to deny entry to the U.S. to other violent Islamists and jihadis besides Hamas, consular officers should ask these questions as well: 5) Is violent jihad ever justified against U.S. citizens, including those with dual citizenship in Israel and U.S. military serving abroad? 6) Should Salman Rushdie be allowed to lecture about or read from The Satanic Verses at U.S. institutions? 7) Should U.S. universities and other institutions, public or private, be allowed to hold exhibits of the Danish Muhammad cartoons? 8) Does Sharia law based on the Quran supersede secular law for Muslims in the U.S.? 9) Do Jews as a group have disproportionate or unfair influence over the economy, politics and other aspects of public life in the U.S.? 10) Do you have any qualms about attending class or taking part in campus activities with Israeli and other Jewish students? Of course, these questions would be asked in addition to the normal pre-visa vetting process, which includes questions about membership in terrorist groups, previous criminal activity, etc.- 1

Vietnamese Street Vendor Killed in Collision, Wife Had Just Given Birth
Picture courtesy of Khaosod. A Vietnamese street vendor was tragically killed when his motorbike was struck by a car on an overpass in Ayutthaya. The devastating incident occurred just two days after his wife gave birth to their child in Vietnam. The crash took place at approximately 01:30 on 2 April, on the Ayutthaya overpass, heading towards Wang Noi district. Police and emergency responders arrived at the scene to find a damaged black Honda Jazz with its front end crushed, and a Honda Wave motorbike, modified for selling grilled squid, lying wrecked nearby. The vendor’s equipment and supplies were scattered across the road. Underneath the car, officers discovered the lifeless body of Mr. Thinh Vientheng, 39, a Vietnamese national. His injuries were extensive, with severe wounds to his face and head, as well as multiple broken limbs. The driver of the car, a young woman, told police that she had been driving home from central Ayutthaya to Wang Noi when she suddenly collided with the motorbike. She claimed she did not see anything before the crash occurred. Upon hearing the news, the victim’s Vietnamese friends rushed to the scene, overcome with grief. Some collapsed in tears, devastated by the loss. They explained that Mr. Thinh had been selling grilled squid from his motorbike to support his wife and newborn child, who had just returned to Vietnam to give birth. Following the crash, police gathered evidence and took the car driver in for questioning. Authorities have also contacted Thai immigration and the Vietnamese embassy to notify the victim’s family. His body has been sent to the Institute of Forensic Medicine in Pathum Thani for an autopsy, as officials proceed with legal investigations into the case. -- 2025-04-03
