Chances of being fired for speaking out about Palestine (hexbear.net)

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.

me and my partner thought about that, i dont worry too much but he does (he makes all our money lol) so he covered his face at the protest (we both did, but thats for covid reasons). but generally I dont really have a problem with this stuff, ive been an open communist at my job from day one, and will talk about it in the office all the time, you can say anything if youre too good at your job lol. when ever theres a world event everyone at work messages me for my take anyway lol.
