Controversy-tarred congressional candidate Maureen Galindo this week pledged to transform a site south of San Antonio now used by the Trump administration to detain migrants into an internment camp for “American Zionists.”

“She’ll turn Karnes ICE Detention Center into a prison for American Zionists and former ICE officers for human trafficking,” Galindo wrote in an Instagram post over the weekend, referring to herself in the third person. “It will also be a castration processing center for pedophiles, which will probably be most of the Zionists.”

Galindo maintained she only has an issue with zionists, or those advocating for the existence of a Jewish state in their ancestral homeland, rather than Jews in general.

“I think it’s actually the zionists who are putting Jewish people at the most risk,” Galindo told the Current last week.

    Way too many of y’all are excited about the idea of concentration camps. It doesn’t matter if they’re your political enemies, concentration camps are bad.

      I don’t support throwing people without due process into some kind of confinement. But I do support genocide enablers getting prosecuted and thrown in prison.

          People are just speaking with energy, with frustration at the powerlessness of the situation. None of this is stuff is materially possible right now to implement. It’s just venting.

      Over the last three years I’ve seen the most depraved carnage imaginable at the hands of the most gleefully inhuman humans imaginable. I want them gone forever and I dont care how it happens. And if you’re gonna say “oh that sounds like what they say about Palestinians, isn’t it ironic, doesn’t it make you think” yeah that’s the whole point, that’s the golden rule, they should be treated like the monsters they treat others as. When they dehumanized others, they dehumanized themselves. This goes beyond what we are taught to think of as “political”: they are my existential enemies, as are all fascists, because they consider us all animals to be killed.

      Let me quickly replace the word “Zionist” with “Nazi” to check how it sounds

      “Put all Nazis in internment camps”

        Yeah man, that’s like one of the biggest problems with Nazis. We really just shouldn’t be putting anyone in internment camps. If you wanna fight Nazis, fight Nazis. Slavery is not really ever a reasonable response.
