U.S. LAWMAKERS PUSH BILL TO STRIP PASSPORTS OVER ISRAEL CRITICISMA new bill in Congress could let Sec. Rubio revoke U.S. passports from citizens who criticize Israel, the Intercept reports.The proposal comes after Rubio already revoked visas and green cards of foreign nationals, including a Turkish student who wrote an op-ed against Israel.The bill cites “material support for terrorism,” but critics warn this vague language could be twisted to punish speech, protests, or even journalism.Civil liberties groups say the move risks turning political dissent into a crime and creating a “thought police” system that silences critics of U.S. allies.
