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.

Probably very high. I overheard some boxes of saltine crackers talking about it in Estonian, with the usual Redditbrain talking points (minus the overt pro-apartheid) coping about how Hamas is solely at fault, sabotaged a peace deal, war crime, etc.

Of course I can't say anything because I'm this one guy from South Africa who constantly wears a keffiyeh and is capable of material/historic analysis. Hell, HR already looks at me with suspicion for "harbouring anti-NATO views".

Didn't expect to see an Estonian comrade on here. Estonians are actually next-level NATO/state dept bootlickers.
