This will be a lesson for future non-citizens. Do not speak out against the state of Israel publicly or else be prepared to suffer the consequences.[/quote]
Listen, I’ve said this before on this forum: when my family immigrated to the US back in 1973, they were told by friends/coworkers “don’t ever, ever talk about Palestine.” This was 52 years ago. I’m glad the truth is finally coming out. Silence is complicity. [/quote]

Can't blame them unfortunately. I know of several colleagues who have lost their jobs in the past year and half for saying relatively benign things with no recourse.[/quote]

I find this extremely hard to believe.

What sorts of “relatively benign” things were these people saying and in what context? (Personal v professional)

Not hard to believe. It's been well reported sites like Canary mission will doxx you and try to get you fired for pro-Palestinian advocacy. Wearing a watermelon or Keffiyeh can be seen as incredibly inflammatory. I mean isn't this point basically the premise of this thread??

Yes, but what are the odds that one poster knows multiple “colleagues” who have been fired for this???

It’s practically impossible.

Moreover, most of the people fired have said pretty incendiary things (not saying they should have been fired but their comments were hardly “relatively benign”).

I’m very interested in more detail here.[/quote]
