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

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

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.

Maybe not, people can only see the truth of the matter if they want to. If their worldview requires it to be a conflict of good vs evil, than they probably will ignore it to perserve their worldview.

well they’re terrorists, and also Hamas uses human shields.

My reply would be that they are also people who see themselves as in a shitty situation.

They will always find a way to justify Israel.

That is very likely true, but you don't know until you actually bring up the issue with them.
