    Why is it that this sounds suspiciously like a “Jews run the media so you can’t criticize Israel” kind of post?

      Honestly this is a big problem with being able to criticize Isreal in good faith - it’s all too easy to be taken as an antisemite.

      Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure loads of antisemites are out there pretending to be concerned about Gaza while actually just using it as an excuse to hate jews - but the OP is describing very real issues - like the thing with Havard just last week where companies were rescinding job offers based on who supported Gaza and condemned Isreal

    Lol, it’s not illegal. Words have consequences, though. If you use the stage afforded to you by your work, or your work is contingent on having a voice they want associated with them, then you may lose your job over your comments, no matter who you criticize.
