I’ve started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I’m very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I’m scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don’t think I’d be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.

    Depends where you live. Amerikkka it’s probably not a safe bet to talk about this stuff openly. 35/50 US states have “anti-bds” laws meaning you can be fired for protesting Israel, even cooler you can’t be hired as a state employee if you protest Israel. Muh first amendment tho
