America seems to be falling apart

The country that I knew growing up and until recent years is unrecognizable to me today. I think our country is falling apart.

One example is the open border where millions are coming in every year, including murderers. My father came here legally from Austria and my wife came here legally from France. She even had to undergo an FBI check, so it galls me now that all you have to do is walk in.

Also now we have these anti-Israel Palestine protesters. They have blocked bridges, airports, roads, etc. They even stormed the U.S. Capitol and basically nothing was done, but numerous people who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 are in jail. When you hear of a two-tiered justice system, this is an example.

Then there are these ignorant Palestine protesters that don't acknowledge that Palestine attacked Israel, they raped women and killed 1,200 men, women, and children. Some blame Hamas, but Hamas was elected by the Palestine people, so they support them. Now we have some of them chanting "death to America," and "we are Hamas." This is terrible and basically nothing is done about it.

As a war veteran, it really upsets me. Veterans love America, and we fought for our country. Now Palestine people are trying to tear this country down. Sadly, they are accompanied by young college students, who are supposed to be smart, but in this case, they along with the Palestine people are basically stupid.

During World War II, you didn't see German Americans, and Japanese Americans protesting against the war, but now you see these Palestine people all over the place protesting against Israel and the U.S. government. Their heads are so biased that they don't get the simple facts, when you start a war, you suffer the consequences. They are chanting "stop the killings."

What about the 1,200 innocent people that Palestine people killed? It appears to be OK in their eyes. It is my opinion that they should all move to Palestine.

Remember World War II and Hitler's Nazis being against the Jews? Now we have the same attitude in America by these ignorant Palestine protesters. Remember what Forrest Gump said in the movie, "Stupid is as stupid does." That fits these Palestine protesters to a "T" which includes the lame-brain college students that protest with them. I think people will now look at those college degrees from back East, questioning their moral character, I sure would. Most are probably innocent, but the same old story, a few ruin it for all.
