The devastation of Gaza and Israeli colonization of the West Bank could lead to a global diaspora. Boston CCTV footage has gone viral, of hooded agents of the Department of Homeland Security arresting a 30-year-old Turkish student on the street. Rumeysa Ozturk has since been detained in a Louisiana facility, pending deportation.
